Its director general Willie Walsh said in a statement today that it was a slower pace than what the company had seen in previous months and reflected disruptions around military conflict in the Middle East. 'With demand growth lagging the 3.4 per cent capacity expansion, load factors dipped 0.6 percentage points from their all-time record-high levels. 'At 84.5 per cent globally, however, load factors are still very strong. And with a modest 1.8 per cent capacity growth visible in August schedules, load factors over the northern summer are unlikely to stray far from their recent historic highs,' he said. On a regional breakdown of the international passenger markets, the aviation body said Asia-Pacific airlines achieved a 7.2 per cent year-on-year (y-o-y) increase in demand, with capacity rising by 7.5 per cent while the load factor stood at 82.9 per cent, slightly lower by 0.2 percentage points compared to June 2024. It noted that European carriers posted a 2.8 per cent y-o-y growth in demand, while capacity rose 3.3 per cent and load factor came in at 87.4 per cent. 'North American saw a decline of 0.3 per cent in demand, 2.2 per cent increase in capacity and load factor was 86.9 per cent. 'Meanwhile, Middle Eastern carriers recorded a 0.4 per cent fall in demand. Its capacity increased 1.1 per cent y-o-y while the load factor was 78.7 per cent,' it said. -- BERNAMA

Gov't Incentives Able To Stop Sugar Price Hike Currently
KUALA LUMPUR, July 31 (Bernama) -- Government incentives provided to major sugar producers in the country, including MSM Malaysia Holdings Bhd (MSM), have been succesful in stopping any hike in sugar prices, even with similar hikes in raw sugar prices at the global market. Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek said it not only prevented losses to the companies involved, but allowed the public some welcome relief against the rising costs of living. 'At the same time, the assistance the government provides will cheer up settlers who own shares in the sugar producer. There's no need (for a price hike) as long as the government helps to provide this incentive,' he told reporters after launching the FGV Festival in conjuction with Felda Pioneer Day 2025 at the Karnival Mega 3 Dimensi (MK3D) at Malaysian International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITECT), which was attended by FGV chairman Tan Sri Rastam Mohd Isa.
