5% Globally; 10.5% in Asia/Pacific and 1.2% in North America
The "define a recovery" debate grows more tedious with repetition.
What is clear is that a disconnected Asia/Pacific is on a firm upward trend.
Europe is hesitant and is held back by a miserable UK performance.
North America and the USA are showing slight positive growth largely because the 2009 comparison base was so negative.
Africa and, especially, the Middle East have been less affected than other regions; both are showing double digit growth.
Latin America is more fragile as the early airport returns for January confirm.

Troubles Continue for the UK; Next Quarter and Beyond

US is Positive in the Second Quarter; Just
- the likelihood is that US demand will remain slightly positive in Q2; the Q3 seasonal peak will be the test: read more on the US and its positive airports here
