　　分析: 利用问题句中反映细节信息的短语结构have a hard time作为答案线索，这样找到答案相关句：

　　(第3段)But low fares require (要求)consistently(一直) full aircraft to make flights economically (经济地)viable(可行的), and in the recent recession(萧条) (与have a hard time呼应)the volume(量) of traffic(交通) has not grown.该句说在最近的萧条期间，载客量没有增加，因此判断乘客量没有增加是造成航空空司经营困难的一个原因。

　　Equally the large number of airlines jostling for(为..而竞争) the available (可得到的)passengers has created a huge excess of capacity.

　　该句说航空公司对乘客的争抢造成了大量容量的过剩。

　　The net(最终的) result of excess capacity (运载量过剩)and cut-throat(激烈的) competition driving down (压低)fares had been to push(逼迫) some airlines into collapse (倒闭)and leave many others hovering(盘旋) on the brink(在边缘上). 该句说运载量的过剩和降低票价的残酷竞争逼迫一些航空公司倒闭了，而使其他更多的航空公司盘旋在濒临倒闭的边缘，该句与C 和D 都呼应，只有A没有提到，因此A 是答案。
