Abstract
The international air transport plays a key role in the development of the world economy, stimulating exchanges between countries and facilitating international economic relations. At the same time, its economic well-being depends on the state of the world economy. Increasing demand for mobility, further globalization of society, and changing consumer behaviour lead to growth in traffic flow and segmentation of the air transport industry. Economic downturns, on the other hand, bring financial difficulties to the airlines — diiiculties which at times have been financially disastrous.
