Airline Passengers 23% Fewer 6 Weeks After Attacks

About 23% fewer people are flying compared with last year and the number of passengers returning to the skies six weeks after the terror attacks is apparently tapering off.

With just two days left in October, the industrywide load factor, or percentage of seats filled, is 64 percent, with international flights even less full than domestic ones, according to the major airlines' trade group, the Air Transport Association.
