Aviation "facing worst downturn"

World aviation could be facing its worst-ever global downturn, figures have shown.


There is set to be a 7% fall in the number of flights offered by airlines in the last three months of this year, travel information company OAG said.


Airlines worldwide will offer 59.7 million fewer seats in October-December 2008 compared with the same period last year, OAG added.

(These are certainly scary figures....worst is yet to come in this industry)
