Global airlines report surge in passenger travel amid easing restrictions

Major international airlines across Europe, the Middle East, and North America have reported a noticeable surge in passenger numbers as travel demand continues to rebound. Airline officials said increased bookings are being driven by relaxed visa policies, expanded flight routes, and strong demand for leisure and business travel. Industry analysts note that while fuel costs and operational challenges remain, the rise in passenger traffic signals renewed confidence in global air travel and could help stabilize the aviation sector after years of disruption.
