问题      International airlines have rediscovered the business travelers, the man or woman who regularly jets from country to country as part of the job. This does not 【C1】______  mean that airlines ever 【C2】______  their business travelers. Indeed, companies like Lufthansa and Swissair would rightly argue that they have always 【C3】______  best for the executive class passengers. But many lines could be 【C4】______  of concentrating too heavily in the recent past 【C5】______  attracting passengers by volume, often at the 【C6】______  of regular travelers. Too often, they have seemed geared for quantity 【C7】______  than quality. Operating a major airline in the 1980s is essentially a 【C8】______  of finding the right mix of passengers. The airlines need to fill 【C9】______  the back end of their wide-bodied jets with low fare passengers, without forgetting that the front end should be filled with people who pay 【C10】______  more for their tickets.
     It is no 【C11】______  that the two major airline bankruptcies in 1982 were among the companies 【C12】______  in cheap flights. But low fares require consistently full aircraft to make flights 【C13】______  viable (可行的), and in the recent recession the volume of traffic has not grown. Equally the large number of airlines jostling (争夺) for the 【C14】______  passengers has created a huge excess of capacity. The net result of excess capacity and cut-throat 【C15】______  driving down fares has been to push some airlines into 【C16】______  and leave many others hovering on the 【C17】______  
     Against this grim background, 【C18】______  is no surprise that airlines are turning increasingly 【C19】______  the business travelers to improve their rates of return. They have 【C20】______  much time and effort to establish exactly what the executive demands for sitting apart from the tourists.
