So what's so good about things? Not much. The US airlines head into the summer season expecting about 150,000 fewer passengers a day, or a 7% drop. They finished April with 6% fewer passengers. that helped push down revenues for the sixth month in a row. But, the airline lobby said, the decrease was not as steep as it had been in March, when revenues fell by 23% from March 2008. But don't let that cheer you up just yet: this April just past should have been stronger because Easter came in April this year; last year the holiday, which always pushes up travel for a three- or four-day period, came in March.
