[edit] 2008 year-to-date statistics

Airports Council International's year-to-date figures are preliminary. The following are for the months January to February 2008^[1] Figures should be read with caution as airports around the world may experience peak travel in differing months. Current year-to-date growth statistics may be a poor representation of full-year growth, and may be subject to major changes as time progresses.
