Airline index up as demand increases
Posted on: August 5th, 2009 by Jen Davies
Things are looking up for the airline industry, with some analyst asserting that the economic slump they have faced could be coming to an end. Shares in airline indexes rose, as United Airlines led the charge.
Rising 19 percent, or 79 cents, and finishing at $5, the move was the biggest climb for airlines since February 23rd.
The gains came as traffic on United Airlines flights dropped the smallest amount in 11 months. The airline had recently cut capacity, as the travel slump caused excess capacity with too many flights and too many seats.
The most recent reports show United Airline planes were 2.7 percent fuller than in July after capacity cuts.
Analysts such as Hunter Keay from Stifel Nicolaus & Co. commented,
“There’s generally broader optimism on the economy. UAL is a good cyclical play on the economy. It’s not as risky as some, but still risky enough to give a better comfort level in the shift.”
Airlines have seen continued travel declines for 13 straight months, as the 2009 year has shaped up to be the worst since 2001-02.
Continental also announced lower losses than last month, causing investors to reconsider the future of airline stocks.
