- Tuesday, July 3, 2012, 7:46 AM Boeing (BA) and Southwest Airlines (LUV) ask the FAA for more time to assess data on the issue of potential fatigue cracking for 717s before the agency makes scheduled inspections. Southwest operates more 717s than any other carrier. Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, June 26, 2012, 2:18 PM United Continental (UAL +2.1%) and Southwest Airlines (LUV +1.9%) could issue a profit warning tied to fuel hedging losses as earlier as tomorrow, according to a report that aired on CNBC citing inside sources. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Monday, June 25, 2012, 8:03 AM The long streak of relative quiet with Southwest Airlines' (LUV) labor relations could be about to end, according to The Cranky Flier blog. A recent flareup with ramp workers protesting a plan to outsource jobs at Midway Airport in Chicago is just the first in what could be a long string of labor battles for the company as it stands fully matured from the quirky upstart carrier that was able to buck trends. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, June 21, 2012, 12:56 PM International airlines have begun to auction off through their websites unreserved first class seats in a growing trend that has at least some characteristics of a win-win proposition. While carriers can increase their revenue by selling unused luxury seats, coach passengers who prefer choice seats can avoid paying excessive fares or cashing in upgrades. Waiting to step in stateside: UAL, LUV, DAL, LCC, JBLU, ALK, HA, SAVE, ALGT. 3 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, June 11, 2012, 4:34 AM The global airline industry will likely post a second consecutive year of net profit declines, says the IATA, as the impact of the eurozone debt crisis offsets the boost from lower oil prices, stronger-than-expected growth in passenger traffic and an improved freight market. The expected industry net profit of $3B is less than half the $7.9B of 2011, and a far cry from 2010's $15.8B. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Tuesday, June 5, 2012, 7:21 AM Yesterday's takedown of the airline sector after Delta (DAL) reported weaker-than-expected May traffic could be overwrought, according to JPMorgan's Jamie Baker. After digging into the numbers, he says an attack by Southwest Airlines (LUV) on the Atlanta market with promotions may have hit Delta's May numbers but has little relevance for other carriers. UAL, JBLU, LCC. Comment! [Consumer, Quick Ideas]
- Monday, June 4, 2012, 1:02 PM Southwest Airlines (LUV -1.5%) plans to take over routes from subsidiary AirTran Airways in November as part of a multi-year integration process that will eventually see all of the acquired carrier's flights fly under the Southwest banner. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, June 1, 2012, 5:15 PM When asked to pick his favorite airline as a weak oil play, TradeMonster.com's Jon Najarian says it's Delta (DAL) all the way because of its exposure across the U.S. and its timely refinery purchase. Conversely, Southwest's (LUV) hedging strategy works well on the upside, but when crude comes down, it's a drag that will continue to be reflected in the stock price. 3 Comments [Consumer, Quick Ideas]
- Friday, May 25, 2012, 8:38 AM Falling jet fuel prices could save airlines ~$5.5B, yet analysts have failed to recognize the sector's huge growth potential and continue to substantially undervalue airline stocks, J.P. Morgan says. The firm expects net profits to rise ~20% at Alaska Air (ALK), ~40% at JetBlue (JBLU) and Southwest (LUV), and over 50% at US Airways (LCC) and United Continental (UAL). Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, May 24, 2012, 9:52 AM Airline stocks charge out of the gate with outperforming gains across the board, helped in part by a forecast for lower oil prices. Advancers: LCC +4.2%, DAL +3.8%, UAL +3.8%, LUV +3%. Comment! [On the Move, Consumer]
- Thursday, May 24, 2012, 7:24 AM Southwest Airlines (LUV) plans to start making international flights for the first time with its decision to pick up AirTran's routes to Mexico and the Caribbean. The company is looking to add up to 25 flights days from a new international terminal at Houston's Hobby airport. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, May 22, 2012, 1:16 PM Southwest Airlines (LUV -1.1%) strikes an agreement with Delta Air Lines (DAL +0.1%) to lease the company 88 Boeing 717s after deciding it didn't need the jets acquired in its purchase of Airtran. The deal could be a win-win, with Delta able to update its aging fleet and Southwest cutting back costs by only flying 737s. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, May 17, 2012, 1:57 PM Airliners made a bit less money from baggage fees last year due to fewer fliers. Leading the pack was Delta (DAL -6.5%), which raked in $863.6M - a mark that swung the carrier from a loss to a profit. Spirit (SAVE -6.1%) earned $134M with its unique pricing matrix of charging for each service customers use, including carry-on bags. Bags-Fly-Free holdout Southwest (LUV +0.1%) piled up a lot of goodwill with customers instead of cold hard cash. Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, May 16, 2012, 5:58 PM Southwest Airlines (LUV) defers deliveries of 30 Boeing (BA) 737-800 jets by some four years, saving more than $1B as the carrier extends a cap on fleet size and works to curb rising costs until it hits financial targets. Even as travel demand is strong, LUV CEO Gary Kelly wants to slow growth until hitting a goal of 15% return on invested capital. 3 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, May 14, 2012, 5:57 PM The big U.S. airlines got passengers to their destinations on time at a record rate - 84% - in Q1, Transportation Department data says, thanks to fewer planes in the air and mild weather. So it makes sense that Hawaiian Airlines (HA) grades highest; next came AirTran (LUV) and US Airways (LCC). Bottom three: ExpressJet (SKYW), Virgin America, United (UAL). 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Monday, May 14, 2012, 12:55 PM The DOT awards key slots at Washington DC's Reagan National Airport, opening the door for Alaska Air (ALK -0.6%), JetBlue (JBLU -4.8%), and Southwest Airlines (LUV +0.6%) to add new routes into the highly-trafficked airport. JBLU is faring worse than peers in trading today after taking on a downgrade from Sterne Agee to Neutral. Comment! [Consumer]
