From ATWonline:

World airport traffic remained "stubbornly low" in May, according to Airports Council International, but there are indications that the downturn may be bottoming out. Airports participating in the association's passenger and freight "flash reports" recorded an 8% decrease in passenger traffic compared to the same month in 2008, with international traffic down 9.3% and domestic down 6.8%. Through the first five months of the year, total traffic was off 7.5% compared to last year while the rolling 12-month decline was 5%.
 
Well, I hope my current travels BNE/MEL/PER/ADL/BNE help bring the downturn to a close...well, by one iota anyway :)

(BNE QP is really quiet ATM)

BTW, thank NM for your best seat thread, helped me on the MEL/PER sector get an exit row on a 767-338...unless an ODU comes available at MEL QP
