- Monday, August 27, 2012, 2:41 PM Airline shares are down marginally today, girding themselves for air travel disruptions as Tropical Storm Isaac approaches New Orleans. United (UAL -0.2%) and Southwest LUV -1.2% have already announced plans to cancel flights out of New Orleans on Tuesday and Wednesday. Cancellations will reportedly take effect starting at midnight.

- Monday, August 27, 2012, 8:42 AM Besides disrupting oil production in the Gulf of Mexico, Tropical Storm Isaac also starts to wreak havoc with airline flights.

- Monday, August 20, 2012, 1:05 PM Southwest Airlines (LUV +3.5%) raises its air fares on shorter flights, prompting a flurry of corresponding ticket price hikes by legacy carriers such as American Airlines (AAMRQ.PK), United Continental (LCC +5.4%), and US Airways (LCC +4.9%).

- Tuesday, August 14, 2012, 6:52 AM Bank of America downgrades Southwest Airlines (LUV) to Underperform on concerns over weak domestic travel and higher fuel costs.

- Tuesday, July 24, 2012, 12:03 PM An appeals court upholds the authority of regulators to force new airline ticketing rules. One is that carriers will have to prominently display the total price of a ticket in print ads, including taxes. The decision is a defeat for Allegiant (ALGT -2.2%), Southwest (LUV -2.1%) and Spirit (SAVE -1.9%). Many other airline stocks are down as well, with UAL -6.4%. 3 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]

- Tuesday, July 17, 2012, 9:17 AM Should the tight regulation on foreign ownership of U.S. airlines be reconsidered? That's the question posed by industry watcher George Hobica as he can't help but notice the bubbly profits and efficiencies the beer industry kicks up with foreign ownership the norm.
