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]
Tuesday, April 30, 6:44 AM More on Spirit Airlines' (SAVE): Passenger revenue rose 21.6% to $218.9M while non-ticket sales rose 24.8% to $151.5M on new pricing changes for bags and other services. The carrier reports total revenue per available seat mile rose a modest 1.7% to $0.1185 as capacity and sales increased nearly lock-step. (PR) Comment! [Consumer, Earnings]
Tuesday, April 30, 6:35 AM Spirit Airlines (SAVE): Q1 EPS of $0.45 beats by $0.03. Revenue of $370.4M (+22.9% Y/Y) beats by $3.7M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]

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]
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]
Monday, April 22, 7:33 AM Early indications are that the furlough by the FAA of employees - including air traffic controllers - isn't causing significant delays and flight cancellations. In the background, airline trade groups are keeping up the pressure on the FAA with a new lawsuit aimed at curtailing the furloughs. (flight tracking stats) 1 Comment [Consumer]
Thursday, April 18, 2:31 PM The FAA says it will cut staffing by 10% at airports in Atlanta, Chicago, and Los Angeles this Sunday in one of its first rounds of cuts tied to mandatory budget reductions under the sequester. Though the prospect of fewer air traffic controllers sounds daunting, carriers haven't announced just yet that the development will impact the number of flights flown or revenue booked this quarter. 9 Comments [Consumer]
Tuesday, April 16, 3:52 PM Spirit Airlines (SAVE +5.1%) soars as its price target is lifted to $29 from $24 at Imperial Capital, which reiterates a Buy on the stock following the company''s traffic report and updated guidance last week. A weak February due to schools canceling President's day vacation looks to have been make up and more by strong pent-up demand for holiday travel in March. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
Tuesday, April 16, 9:17 AM Airfares came in 0.6% higher during March, according to consumer price data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The year-over-year increase in fares was 3.77%. 1 Comment [Consumer]
Thursday, April 11, 5:49 PM Spirit Airlines (SAVE) reports traffic or revenue passenger miles increased 19.1% in March on a capacity increase of 16.5%. Its load factor was 87.9%, 2 points higher as compared to March 2012. It's preliminary completion factor was 99.6%. For Q1 the company estimates its total revenue per ASM increased 0.5 to 1.5 percent year-over-year. Comment! [Earnings, Consumer]
Monday, April 1, 12:38 PM Airline stocks (FAA) trade are blowing off some steam with regional carriers Republic Airways (RJET -9.8%), Allegiant (ALGT -3%), and Spirit Airlines (SAVE -3.2%) leading the slide. Macroeconomic concerns and a harsh downgrade from Evercore Partners on United Continental (UAL -2.5%) seem to be tipping sentiment. 2 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
Saturday, March 30, 9:51 AM Airlines around the world have gone to great lengths in recent years to reduce the weight they carry, with an eye to decreasing fuel requirements and increasing profit. So if weight is such a key concern for airlines' operations, why not charge for overweight passengers as well as overweight baggage? At least one economist thinks it's a great idea. 24 Comments [Consumer]
