Malaysia's AirAsia says second-quarter 2010 net profit rose 43 per cent from a year earlier due to a recovering economy that boosted passenger traffic and load factors.
More than 70,000 holidaymakers are thought to be affected by the closure this week of the UK's Flight Options travel group, the third UK travel company to fail in just over a month.
UK airport operator BAA reportedly has agreed to double its pay offer to staff including security personnel and firemen to avert a strike that threatened to disrupt travel plans for millions over the coming holiday weekend.
