2024 is the year the global airline industry turned the page on the Covid-19 pandemic - traffic has returned to pre-pandemic levels and airlines are making profits once again.

We discuss these themes with Marie Owens Thomsen, Senior Vice President for Economics & Sustainability at the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
