The results contrast with the $881 million net loss posted by carriers a year earlier. IATA says airlines in North America and the Asia-Pacific region performed best. The Geneva-based association says European carriers' results were boosted by a $1.3 billion asset sale in the second quarter, without which they would have posted further losses.

The Hong Kong Tourist Board announces a lineup of fall events and festivals
As summer draws to a close it’s time to think about the fall events being planned throughout Hong Kong. For centuries, the three-day Mid-Autumn Festival has been one of the most important Chinese celebrations and, of course, in the year 2010 the traditions continue.
