In IATA's assessment of premium and economy travel in December, the aviation body found broad weakness in key demand drivers that resulted in a soft end to 2015 for industry-wide premium-class travel volumes. The lack of strong momentum on the demand side means that growth is likely to remain only modest in the near term. Nonetheless, premium’s share of revenues is holding up on key routes, providing a buffer for airline financial performance.
