Only a week later the terrorist attacks put a tremendous blow on the state economies, damaging tourism and travel-related industries and threw many states into uncertainty about their economic future (Belluck).
The airlines reduced their flight schedules by as much as 25 percent after the Sept. 11 attacks (Johnston). ... Copland, the president of the American Society of Travel Agents, stated that the International Air Transport Association estimated that airlines worldwide would lose $10 billion to $12 billion in the 2001year, and people would lose 170,000 airline jobs. ... Besides the job situation there was fear of flying and the airlines were held back with the uncertainty of their customers. ...
