Analysis: The fast growth that Great Lakes reported earlier in the year has slowed. While traffic has been increasing month-over- month in the double digits, the May-over-May growth slowed to 1.3 percent. The carrier also had been reporting double-digit increases in passenger enplanements until the May report. For the second month in a row, Great Lakes recorded a drop in capacity. { } Indicates code-share partnerships Source: Company reports
