IATA Başkanı Giovanni Bisignani’nin 2005 yılı Mayıs ayında yaptığı bir açıklama:

“EVERYONE else in aviation makes money while airlines just do the flying. So says Giovanni Bisignani, boss of the International Air Transport Association. His point is that airports, component-makers, aircraft-makers, banks and so on make a nice living, while most airlines chronically fail to turn a steady profit. Nowhere is this more true than in America, roughly half of the world’s aviation market.”
