• International Air Transport Association Says 2006 Loss Forecast Drops to $1.7 Billion

TOKYO, Aug. 31 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced a revised forecast for 2006 industry losses. It is estimated that airlines will lose $1.7 billion, with a fuel bill of $115 billion calculated for an average oil price of $68 per barrel (Brent). This is a significant improvement on the previous loss forecast of $3 billion made in June that was based on an oil price of $66 per barrel for a total fuel bill of $112 billion. However, stronger than anticipated economic growth has boosted airline revenues, and restructuring efforts have elevated load factors to record levels.

• Airline Pilot: Were Forgetting How to Fly: ; Cockpit Automation Dulls Aircrew Skills, Flight Experts Warn

WASHINGTON - Pilots' "automation addiction" has eroded their flying skills to the point that they sometimes don't know how to recover from stalls and other mid-flight problems, say pilots and safety officials. The weakened skills have contributed to hundreds of deaths in airliner crashes in the past five years. Fifty-one "loss of control" incidents occurred in which airplanes stalled in flight or got into unusual positions from which pilots were unable to recover, making it the most common type of airliner accident, according to the International Air Transport Association.
