The head of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) on October 2 expressed confidence that the worst of the crisis has passed, and projected that airlines globally will reduce their joint net loss to $11.6 billion in 2022, from $51.8 billion this year. North American airlines are expected to end 2022 with a $9.9 billion profit, which would represent a significant turnaround from a projected $5.5 billion loss in 2021.
