Authorities have launched an investigation into the cause of Monday morning’s crash of an Aires 737-700 as it landed in a storm at San Andres Island, killing one passenger who reportedly died of a heart attack ( ATW Daily News, Aug. 17).
IATA reported that international passenger traffic continued in its recovery in June with premium seats up 16.6% and economy travel up 9.5% compared to June 2009, but cautioned that the post-recession rebound in travel may be slowing.
