Apr 23, 2009 (newstodate): March 2009 proved another testing month for Serbian carrier JAT.
Passenger volumes dropped 23 percent, y-o-y, 63,313 passengers, while cargo volumes were down 28 percent to 179 tonnes.
By contrast, air mail volumes increased 24 percent, to a total of 57 tonnes.
Besides the general downturn in the industry, the depressing statistics are, however, also influenced by this year's Easter that was in early April rather than in late March, as was the case in 2008.
