Tuesday, June 11, 4:21 AM The EU is reportedly expected to give unconditional approval to Delta Airlines' (DAL) $360M acquisition of a 49% stake in Virgin Atlantic. The deal would allow the carriers to offer more transatlantic flights from Heathrow Airport and thereby better compete with the dominant partnership made up of British Airways and American Airlines.

Monday, June 10, 12:37 PM American Airlines (AAMRQ.PK) and US Airways (LCC +1.6%) name the top executive team for the combined company with five of the eight members appointed from the US Airways side.

Tuesday, June 4, 1:12 PM A judge has passed on AMR Corp.'s (AAMRQ.PK) merger plans with US Airways (LCC +0.1%) to AMR creditors for a vote which could be the next to last step before the combination is finalized later in the year. 5 Comments [Consumer]
Monday, June 3, 9:31 AM IATA boosts its 2013 profit forecast for the airline industry to $12.7B from $10.6B previously (and up 67% from 2012) thanks to better traffic and lower-than-expected fuel prices. The industry load factor is expected to hit a record 80.3% this year, 6 points higher than the previous record set in 2006. At the same time the group reminds of wafer-thin profit margins for many passenger airlines and notes air cargo market growth has stagnated. Comment! [Consumer]
Sunday, May 26, 3:41 AM The Department of Justice has filed a request asking the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan to block the outline of AMR's (AAMRQ.PK) merger with US Airways (LCC), partly due to the $19.9M severance package that would be paid to outgoing AMR CEO Tom Horton. The DOJ's move follows the rejection of the package by Judge Sean Lane in March even though he approved the merger. 6 Comments [Consumer, M&A]
Tuesday, May 21, 11:55 AM American Airlines (AAMRQ.PK) continues to shed jobs, according to the latest paperwork the carrier filed. For the 12-month period ending March 31, American cut jobs by close to 10% as it continues to get lean and mean in front of its merger with U.S. Airways (LCC -3.2%). What to watch: Analysts will get their hands on more numbers on the American-U.S. Airways plans shortly which should help generate estimates on synergies the deal will kick up over the next few years.

Monday, May 20, 11:21 AM Senator Charles Schumer wants airlines to reverse their steep increase on flight change fees after Delta Air Lines (DAL -0.5%), United Airlines (UAL -1.1%), American Airlines (AAMRQ.PK), and U.S. Airways (LCC -0.6%) all bumped off their charge to $200 from $150. Last year, the top airlines collected $2.6B in reservation change fees which accounted for a decent portion of the overall growth in the industry. 3 Comments [Consumer]
Tuesday, May 14, 12:57 PM U.S. airlines collected $6B in baggage fees (+3.8% Y/Y) and reservation change fees (+7.3%) last year as the industry's model continues to shift. This year looks like it could bring airliners an even bigger haul with American Airlines (AAMRQ.PK), Delta Airlines (DAL +1.7%), United Continental (UAL +1.2%), and US Airways (LCC +2.4%) all raising their domestic flight fee change 33% higher to $200 while Southwest Airlines (LUV +0.5%) adds some cancellations fees of its own. 2 Comments [Consumer]
Friday, May 10, 6:54 AM American Airlines (AAMRQ.PK) pushes into South Korea with daily flights into Incheon from the Dallas-Ft. Worth airport. The development ends an eleven-year monopoly on the route by Korean Air Lines and will make the carrier relevant in South Korea with its ability to reach other U.S. destinations through connecting flights. The big picture: The new American-U.S. Air (LCC) combined airline aims to reduce the markets it competes with low-cost carriers and grow internationally. 3 Comments [Consumer]
Wednesday, May 8, 2:32 PM Behind Delta Air Lines' (DAL +2.8%) new buyback plan and quarterly dividend marks a paradigm shift at the company, according to CEO Richard Anderson. The change in the capital structure of the carrier also includes a reduction of Delta's debt position as it looks "de-risk" the balance sheet on top of the capital allocation. Will the airline industry (UAL, LCC, JBLU, RJET, ALK, HA, LUV, AAMRQ.PK) finally revert to a business model that throws off cash flow and rewards investors? 1 Comment [Consumer]
Sunday, April 28, 2:57 AM Air traffic control operations are set to return to normal by this evening after the FAA ended the staff furloughs that had caused the delay of thousands of flights since coming into effect last Sunday. The FAA's move follows Congress' passing of legislation that allowed the agency to redirect up to $253M of its airport improvement budget to fund staffing and operations. 18 Comments [Consumer, U.S. Economy]
Friday, April 26, 12:27 PM The squeaky wheel gets the grease as the U.S. House votes to approve a bill to end the furlough of FAA employees. Those that bought airline stocks (FAA) on Monday when overwrought reports of long delays at U.S. airports rattled the sector made a good call. 3 Comments [Consumer, On the Move, U.S. Economy]
Friday, April 26, 4:25 AM Moving at lightening speed and foregoing debate, the Senate last night unanimously voted to approve a bill that allows the Department of Transportation to use unspent funds to cover the costs of air traffic controllers and end the furloughs that were prompted by sequestration and have caused widespread flight delays. The House could take up the legislation today and is expected to approve it. 5 Comments [Consumer]
Thursday, April 25, 6:25 AM Senators from both parties have introduced legislation aimed at easing the airport congestion and flight delays caused by sequestration. One bill would give the Department of Transportation and FAA the ability to move funds between different accounts in order to reduce the furloughs for air-traffic controllers. The leaves of absence have so far been distributed evenly among all controllers, regardless of whether they work at busy or quiet airports. 5 Comments [Consumer]
Wednesday, April 24, 1:25 PM Airline travel analysts think other carriers will match the $50 increase to $200 in United Continental's (UAL +1.3%) ticket change fee. Part of the rationale behind the change is to increase the incentive for business travelers to buy more expensive tickets with flexibility on ticket changes built in. Keeping up its lone wolf ways, Southwest Airlines (LUV +0.6%) will stick with its policy of no change fees. 1 Comment [Consumer]
