- 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]
- Friday, May 3, 9:09 AM US Airways (LCC) took a stumble in April as passenger revenue per available seat mile fell 4% Y/Y as the carrier said it felt some effect of the furloughs of air traffic controllers. The drop is a bit more than other carriers have reported so far for the month. 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]
- Wednesday, April 24, 6:32 AM The airline industry (FAA) doesn't think carriers should be fined by the DOT for tarmac delays due to the reduced number of air traffic controllers working this week following mandated furloughs. Two industry groups have filed a motion asking the DOT to suspend the three-year old tarmac rule. 7 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, April 23, 8:21 AM Shares of US Airways (LCC) are 1.1% higher premarket after the company beats estimates with its Q1 report. Mainline passenger revenue was 3.8% higher during the quarter as the carrier improved its passenger revenue per available square mile. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
- Tuesday, April 23, 8:02 AM US Airways (LCC): Q1 EPS of $0.31 beats by $0.05. Revenue of $3.4B (+3.5% Y/Y) beats by $. (PR) 2 Comments [Earnings, Breaking News]

[Earnings]
- Monday, April 22, 9:41 AM Airline stocks (FAA) start the day lower as media reports on flight delays dampen the mood of investors. Though delays are being reported, a low level of cancellations could indicate issues with furloughs won't take a large chuck of profits from carriers. Decliners: US Airways (LCC) -1.5%, JetBlue (JBLU) -1.4%, Delta Airlines (DAL) -1.3%. Comment! [Consumer]

Falling oil prices would be good for US Airways (LCC), which also is rumored to be planning a merge with Delta (DAL). - View all 2 replies

Luckydad: MB, isn't the US/Delta merger old news? Have seen something to reignite the rumor. I think USAir is down due to fuel costs being up. -
Michael Bryant: Yeah, I think I first read about the merger two weeks ago. And yes, so lower oil will lower fuel costs.
