Global airline capacity for September 2009 is showing positive growth for the second consecutive month, according to aviation data business OAG.   The world's airlines have scheduled 296.9 million seats, a rise of 1.4 per cent (4,130,744 more seats) over September levels.   Commenting on the latest data, David Beckerman, vice president OAG Market Intelligence said: "As the summer (northern) season winds down, the steady upward trend we have seen since May is continuing.  After 11 straight months of capacity cutbacks, these figures indicate a growing confidence within the industry that demand for air travel is starting to pick up."   Frequencies still are marginally down compared to September 2008. The world's airlines have scheduled a total of 2.4 million flights for September 2009, down by 0.6 per cent (14,321 fewer flights) compared with the same month last year.   Last month, the year on year global frequency figure was down by two per cent and capacity was up by 0.2 per cent.   Aircargo Asia Pacific
