For 1962 a further increase of 12 per cent in passenger traffic and 14 per cent in cargo is forecast. This rapid growth situation has not been accompanied by a corresponding increase in profits, however, as evidenced by a loss estimated in the millions in 1961 on the North Atlantic by the United States international air carriers alone, and an indeterminably greater amount by the foreign air carriers operating in this area. From the limited financial data available, it appears that, among all North Atlantic scheduled international air carriers, only Irish Airlines and Pan American experienced profitable operations for 1961.
