                    [Summary] => The global aviation industry is barely clinging to life. In the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the US, three major carriers — Belgium’s Sabena, Canada 3000 and Swissair-have already declared bankruptcy. And in an attempt to stem a rising tide of red ink amid soaring costs and a sharp drop in passenger traffic, airlines all over the globe have laid off more than 100,000 workers and slashed import routes.


Almost every national carrier is in trouble as the worst turbulence in almost 50 years hit an industry that was already flying on a wing and  a prayer.

Shanghai will be one of three new Asia-Pacific destinations – Bangkok and Melbourne are the other two – PAL will launch flights to in the last week of October.

This grim prediction was made even after the US Congress quickly passed a law that would give the American airline industry some $15 billion in bailout money and guarantees.
