5. Article summary – Wall Street Journal, “Global Air Travel Continues to Grow”, Cowan, Sept. 18, 2015.

One such area is Europe where Britain’s vote to exit the European Union could decrease air travel between countries. Also, the rise of terrorist attacks around the world may keep more people closer to home. While this could cause some in the airline business to lower expectations, there are still plenty of growth opportunities in China where the number of people now able to afford air travel has increased. Oil prices also affect air travel, which has helped with keeping costs lower.
