British Airlines will stop loading flights with meals for all passengers to reduce food waste. Last month the airline brought back free tea and coffee for passengers on short-haul flights. British Airways is trialing a new catering system where it won't load enough food for all passengers on a flight in a bid to tackle food waste. This included scrapping free beverages for passengers on its short-haul economy flights, the Sunday Times reported. Last month it started giving passengers free tea and coffee again on its short-haul routes.

[1/2] Global airline industry body International Air Transport Association (IATA) Director General Willie Walsh attends an interview with Reuters in Doha, Qatar, June 19, 2022. Airlines lost tens of billions of dollars in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic, but air travel has partially recovered and some airports have struggled to cope. DOWNSIDE RISKIATA believes global air traffic levels will return to pre-COVID or 2019 levels by 2024, led by the United States and with Asia-Pacific "notably lagging." If China does not loosen restrictions, airlines' profitability would be affected. Walsh said airlines had survived the worst of the downturns, though Europe's fragmented market remained an area to watch.

Airlines lost tens of billions of dollars in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic but air travel has partially recovered and some airports have struggled to cope. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) now expects a net profit of $4.7 billion for the industry next year, with more than 4 billion passengers set to fly. For 2022, IATA narrowed its forecast for industry-wide losses to $6.9 billion from $9.7 billion. "That is a great achievement considering the scale of the financial and economic damage caused by government imposed pandemic restrictions," said IATA Director General Willie Walsh, commenting on the projected return to profit in 2023. IATA said that its forecast is based on a gradual reopening of China to international traffic and the easing of domestic zero-COVID restrictions.
