What the source says

Global passenger traffic reached approximately 4.7 billion in the first half of 2026, up just 0.6% on the same period last year, a marked slowdown from 2025's pace.

Checked: the figure 4.7 billion passengers is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
