		<description><![CDATA[Top players in the U.S. airlines industry reported a steep decline of approximately 50% in their domestic fares following a $20 price jump that was announced in February 2011. Larger carriers faced competitive pressure that led them to reduce their increase to as low as $10.00. The discounted carriers limited their price hikes to approximately 50% of the large carriers, which forced the latter to trim their increases to the same levels so as to avert any pricing disparities. Giant carriers such as American Airlines, subsidiary of AMR Corporation (AMR), Delta Air Lines Inc. (DAL) and US Airways Group Inc. (LCC) initiated a $20 roundtrip fare hike. United Airlines, a subsidiary of United Continental Holdings (UAL) followed suit, with a sky-high $60 hike in business class. This marked the fifth ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Alexander Moschina, Investment U Research Friday, October 15, 2010 Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) – the largest carrier of domestic passengers in the United States – has just tapped into a virtual cash machine… Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta. The major American hub is one of the busiest airports in the world, serving around 88 million passengers per year and 970,235 flights. It’s the home base for Delta Airlines (NYSE: DAL) and AirTran Airways (NYSE: AAI). But despite its position at the top of the U.S. airline charts, Southwest doesn’t even get a sniff in Atlanta. It’s been “noticeably absent” from Atlanta for years, according to Dahlman Rose &#38; Co. analyst, Helane Becker. However, it’s about to snag a space there. And with it, a huge slice of the market… ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In one of its smartest moves to revive stalled growth, Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV) the largest U.S. low-cost airline, agreed to buy AirTran Holdings Inc. (AAI) for $1.4 billion. The acquisition is expected to close in the first half of next year and will be fully operational by 2012. The total transaction value is approximately $3.4 billion Incorporatedluding AirTran&#8217;s debt and capitalized aircraft-operating leases. AirTran shareholders will receive $3.75 in cash and 0.321 Southwest share for each share of AirTran, whereas Southwest will pay about $670 million in cash and will assume $2 billion in AirTran debt. The merger enables Southwest to expand its presence in several markets including Atlanta, Washington D.C., Boston, Baltimore and New York City and gain access to more traffic, revenue and passengers.

		<description><![CDATA[Overall Outlook is Positive The economic downturn and the oil price spike before it had negatively affected the airline industry over the past two years. Now, with the economy on the mend, albeit at a slower-than-expected pace, demand for air travel is increasing from last year’s depressed levels. To combat the recessionary effects, the airlines cut costs, slashed capacity and increased load factor. This momentum also prompted the industry into the current ongoing consolidation phase. Currently, airlines are benefiting from the rebound in traffic Incorporatedluding an increase in business travel and premium service demand. While the industry has thus far been fairly disciplined in managing capacity, it is bound to creep up going forward. This would help to keep fares in check, besides making it easier for travelers to book ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[U.S. Airlines Emerging from Recession With the global economy continuing to improve, there is steady improvement in demand for air travel as well as cargo since the beginning of 2010, after being badly affected by the economic downturn. Business travel, which is directly affected by the economic environment, plunged to an all-time low in 2009 as many corporations slashed travel budgets. Leisure travel as well as cargo also showed a remarkable decline. With improving economic sentiment, business travel and demand for air cargo are gradually catching up. However, leisure demand is still low and is expected to take a greater time to reverse, since spending in this area is highly discretionary. We may not see a noticeable improvement in that segment until clear evidence of labor-market improvements take hold. To ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Air Transport Association (ATA) filed a lawsuit against the National Mediation Board (NMB) to stop the Obama administration from putting in effect the new rules for unions, which makes the organization easier to assemble workers at airlines and railroads. NMB coordinates labor relations with airlines and rail companies under the Railway Labor Act (RLA). Airlines and railroads employ more than 500,000 workers, and about two-thirds of those are already in unions, which is much higher than the overall union membership rate of 12%. Under the new rule, union organization would be decided on the number of votes cast. The previous 76-year-old rule required a majority of an entire work group to approve unionization, effectively counting those who do not vote as “no&#8221; votes. Thus, ATA considers the new rule ]]></description>
