According to D-ALPA's published work; we are at a 1.4% deficit which needs to be cured by March 2014. That is the equivalent of 9 daily flights to the Euro zone daily, IF IF IF nothing changes on the AF/KLM/AZ side.

But, Air France and Alitalia turned in some ugly numbers and Alitalia's growth spurt would appear to have run its course. The other way to bring this into balance is a decrease by our European partners. Just as ACL65 alluded to, an European pull down is likely with some marginal growth by Delta may bring this into balance.
