July 2012 Traffic

Here are, finally, July stats as released some days ago. Results are still much in red but as stated previously the season is performing better than originally expected. Some things worth mentioning:
- Domestic traffic keeps going down, in our briefing room you can read about the early termination or frequency reduction on certain routes
- The German market is still on the red but losses have been reduced
- The Italian market lost almost half of its arrivals pointing out probably the bad economic situation in the country
- The Russian market has stabilized for second consecutive month to ~35.000 ranking 3rd
