		<description><![CDATA[One of the leading low-cost airlines JetBlue Airways Corporation (JBLU) reported first quarter 2012 adjusted earnings per share of 9 cents. The quarter’s earnings outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2 cents and the year-ago earnings by 8 cents. Despite the lingering macro concerns and surging fuel prices, the outperformance was attributable to fare hikes, which led to strong revenue. Revenue Total revenue climbed 18.9% year over year to $1.20 billion, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.17 billion. Airlines traffic, measured in revenue passenger miles, grew 14.2% year over year. Capacity (or available seat miles) leaped 12% and load factor (percentage of seats filled with passengers) rose 150 basis points year over year to 82.9%.

		<description><![CDATA[We are downgrading our long-term recommendation on Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV) to Underperform owing to feeble macro data points in the entire airline industry and the company’s weak outlook for the first quarter. Theentire airline industry is struggling with higher fuel prices and a slow moving U.S. economy. We expect conditions to worsen further over the year, due to the weak outlook for Europe, stemming from its financial problems, which is dragging down the global airline profits to half from the 2010 peak. In the worst-case scenario of a full-blown Euro-zone crisis, Europe will likely drag the U.S. into a recession, pulling down growth in China and other emerging economies. Ensuing losses in the global airline industry would then be massive, perhaps the worst since the 2008 financial crisis. Coming ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are downgrading our recommendation on Southwest Airlines (LUV) to Underperform as the company is not expected to report profits in the first quarter this year. The company reported lower year-over-year earnings in the fourth quarter but outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Although Southwest is poised to benefit from fleet rightsizing, its Evolve retrofit program, steady capacity growth, All-New Rapid Rewards, AirTran merger synergies and several ancillary revenues, fuel prices continue to drag down the profits. The entire airline industry is currently struggling with higher fuel prices and a slow-moving U.S. economy. Additionally, high maintenance costs associated with fleet modernization, new advertising rules, risks pertaining to the AirTran integration, heavy investments and reliance on a single fleet keep us cautious on the stock. Hence, we rate the stock Underperform with ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following the labor agreement with International Brotherhood of Teamsters, United Continental Holdings (UAL) has reached another milestone in integrating its workforce by ratifying a new labor agreement involving 15,000 United Airlines flight attendants represented by the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA-CWA). According to the deal, United’s employees will receive a 10% compensation hike and a signing bonus of $5,000. Additionally, this new contract will expedite the process of negotiating a single contract covering flight attendants of both the airlines, United and Continental. United and Continental merged in 2010 to form United Continental Holdings. Currently, AFA-CWA  represents both groups of flight attendants, though AFA-CWA administers the contract negotiated and ratified by the Continental Flight Attendants and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAMAW) previously. In February last year, the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Delta Air Lines Inc. (DAL) reported a 1.5% year-over-year traffic decline in January. Airline traffic is measured in billions of revenue passenger miles, which means one mile flown by one passenger. Given the slowing space of the economy, international carriers like Delta continues to register limited passenger growth, impacting airline traffic numbers. However, air fares remained strong due to the reduction in the availability of seats supporting Delta’s passenger unit revenue (PRASM), which increased 14.5% year over year. Capacity (or available seat miles) continued to decline as evidenced by a 4.3% drop in the month of January but load factor (percentage of seats filled with passengers) increased 230 basis points (bps) year over year to 77.5%. Although the load factor increased, we believe that the positive change is mostly attributable ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The second largest U.S. airline Delta Air Lines (DAL) reported fourth quarter 2011 adjusted earnings of 45 cents per share surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 8 cents. The outstanding performance in the quarter was credited to fare hikes, cost-cutting measures and fuel hedging programs that fully offset surging fuel prices. On a GAAP basis, earnings per share jumped to 50 cents in the quarter from 2 cents in the year-ago quarter. Earnings in fiscal 2011 shot up 44.3% year over year to $1.01. Revenue Revenue increased 8% year over year to $8.4 billion in the reported quarter and was above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $8.3 billion. Airlines traffic, measured in billions of revenue passenger miles, dipped 3% year over year. Capacity or available seat miles fell 3% while ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite the fact that air carriers are losing money due to persistent market turmoil and surging fuel prices, we believe airline stocks are offering attractive returns and are the best bets at this point in time. The airline industry is consolidating in order to regain lost profits and improve operational efficiency. Further, the carriers are cutting capacities and taking several steps to lower their overall costs including fuel and non-fuel. The wild card is fuel prices, largely a function of geostrategic forces, which are outside of the control of the airlines. We expect crude oil and jet fuel prices to remain largely stable this year, but forecasting this key variable with any level of accuracy has always been extremely challenging. While air carriers are contemplating a more effective and enduring ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The airline industry is likely to see another major consolidation. American Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of AMR Corporation, is looking for a suitable partner to merge with. In this regard, Delta Air Lines Inc. (DAL), US Airways Group Inc. (LCC) and private equity firm TPG are mulling bids to acquire American Airlines. American Airlines is the largest carrier to have filed for bankruptcy protection, which it did in November last year, and is currently in the midst of restructuring its debt and cutting labor costs. Looking back, bankruptcies in the airline industry have paved the way for mergers and acquisitions. This is because carriers seek protection to emerge as a low cost provider with a strong competitive position in the industry. Though the details are not fully available, let ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The airline industry was hit hard in 2011, by the unrelenting market turmoil and rising fuel costs after a strong rebound in 2010. Major carriers experienced declining year-over-year earnings and revenues. Unfortunately, we foresee a similar scenario in 2012. Conditions could worsen in 2012, stemming from the weak outlook for Europe given its financial problems. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), airlines are expected to generate overall profits of $3.5 billion in 2012, down from the estimated $6.9 billion in 2011 and $16 billion in 2010. This steep decline in the industry’s profitability is a function of the overall unfavorable macro backdrop in which the industry has to operate this year.

		<description><![CDATA[One of the leading domestic carrier, Southwest Airlines (LUV) ordered 208 Boeing (BA) 737 MAX jetliners worth $19 billion, representing the largest ever order in terms of value and numbers. The deliveries of the new order are expected to begin from 2017, bringing the total order of Southwest to 350 Boeing aircraft for 2012 through 2022. The new orders are in sync with the company’s strategy to replace older fleet with new fuel efficient aircraft. Southwest already boasts of the largest fleet of Boeing 737 with models – 300, 500 and 700. Following the latest addition, the company is expected to gain significant competitive advantage from market giants like Delta (DAL) and United Continental Airlines (UAL).

		<description><![CDATA[The airline industry needs to figure out ways to counter rising fuel expenses, which is estimated at $178 billion for this year and $198 billion for the next. Fuel will account for 30% of industry costs compared with 13% a decade ago. Despite higher ticket prices and improved ancillary revenues, air carriers have been struggling with rising fuel prices for the past several months. In order to alleviate the pressure, the carriers have been passing on the increased cost to customers in the form of fare hikes, which are helping these stocks to be profitable. Airlines have imposed about 10 broad fare increases this year but some refused to raise ticket prices. Air carriers are also focusing on cutting capacities and streamlining their costs by reducing non-fuel expenses. Airline traffic ]]></description>

It was much the same in the mid-1970s when stagflation was all people could talk about – except for the busy founders of Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL), Genentech, Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) and Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT). The big picture is that the next boom is already underway. Why am I so optimistic about a return to robust growth? Two reasons: An ever-rising, more-affluent global ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The International Air Transport Association (IATA) cut its global airline industry profit forecast to $3.5 billion for 2012, with a net profit margin of 0.6%. Previously, in September, the Association had forecast profits of $4.9 billion. Tougher conditions will likely stem from the government’s failure to find any resolution to the Euro-zone sovereign debt crisis that has dwarfed economic growth. The problems in Europe are swelling and spilling over to the rest of the world. In the worst case, if the Euro-zone crisis shapes into a recession, the global airline industry would incur a loss of $8 billion – the worst since the 2008 financial crisis. A downward revision was also made to the sector’s revenue. The Association now expects revenue to grow 3.7% to $618 billion next year, down ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another airline consolidation is seemingly in the wind. Chances of American Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of AMR Corporation (AMR) merging with US Airways Group Inc. (LCC) seem high. Both companies are struggling to remain competitive amid steeply rising fuel prices and a weak travel demand environment. US Airways, the fifth largest U.S. airline, has long-standing problems with its pilot union. Troubles at American Airlines have also intensified due to high labor costs and a debt-heavy balance sheet. The story is equally bleak at AMR Corp. The company’s shares lost more than three-fourths of their value this year. Yesterday, it plummeted 84% in the last trade. American Airlines filed for bankruptcy protection, which would help it to cut down expenses and position it for consolidation. Looking back, bankruptcies in the ]]></description>

Companies like Delta (DAL), JetBlue (JBLU) and Southwest (LUV) are the latest to join the bandwagon after United Continental  (UAL) announced last week that it will launch flights in new international routes in the first half of 2012. United Continental, through its subsidiaries United and Continental Airline is set to leverage the benefits of profitable routes (including the emerging networks) by adding more flights on them and curtailing flights on those that are non-profitable. Continental will commence daily flights between Houston&#8217;s Bush Intercontinental Airport and Lagos, Nigeria, on November 16.

		<description><![CDATA[With oil prices trading above the $100/barrel benchmark (first time since June), airline stocks are once again taking it on the chin. Amid positive news of flight additions across all major airlines, the surge in oil prices comes as a massive jolt for the U.S. carriers, resulting in the recent selloff in shares. United Continental Holdings Inc. (UAL) fell 5.6% on Wednesday followed by decreases of 5.2% in AMR Corp. (AMR), 1.8% in Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV) and 2.7% in JetBlue Airways Corporation (JBLU). Rising oil prices have become a serious problem for the hard-hit airline industry. Since 2002, crude oil prices have been registering new highs thanks to soaring demand from the emerging markets and a weaker U.S. dollar. Fuel expenses now account for approximately 30% of the industry&#8217;s ]]></description>

Airline traffic is measured in billions of revenue passenger miles (RPM), which implies one mile flown by one passenger. The consolidated October traffic fell 5.1% at the largest U.S. airline United Continental Holdings Inc. (UAL). Both international and domestic traffic slid 4.4% and 6.3%, respectively. Capacity (or available seat miles) decreased 3.4% year over year and load factor (percentage of seats filled with passengers) decreased 150 basis points (bps). United Continental expects a 9.5–10.5% year-over-year increase in unit revenue for the month of October, measured by passenger revenue per available seat mile (PRASM), a key metric in airlines. The October traffic for the second largest U.S. airline Delta Air Lines (DAL) declined 3.8%, representing the record low level since January ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Delta Air Lines (DAL), the second largest U.S. airline, has reported third quarter adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of 91 cents that matched the Zacks Consensus Estimate. On a GAAP basis, earnings shot up 51% to 65 cents from 43 cents in the year-ago quarter. Despite the surging fuel prices, the year-over year upswing was driven by aggressive fare hike actions, cost-cutting measures and unbundled offerings such as upgraded seats. Revenue Revenue climbed 10% year over year to $9.82 billion and was above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $9.75 billion. Airlines traffic, measured in billions of revenue passenger miles, was flat year over year. Capacity or available seat miles inched down 1% and load factor (percentage of seats filled with passengers) grew 20 basis points year over year to 86.1%. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before the opening bell, the low-cost carrier Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV) declared its third quarter 2011 adjusted earnings of 15 cents per share. The quarter’s results beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 13 cents but remained below the year-ago earnings of 26 cents mainly due to the negative impacts of fuel hedging, which suffered losses following the drop in fuel price. Adjusted earnings in the third quarter excluded approximately $262 million of unfavorable special items, primarily related to impacts of fuel contracts as well as the acquisition and integration costs of AirTran. Otherwise, the company reported loss per share of 18 cents as against a profit of 27 cents in the year-ago period. Total operating revenue jumped 35.1% year over year to a record $4.3 billion, which surpassed the Zacks ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite a strong profit outlook for 2011 by The International Air Transport Association (IATA) as well as fare hikes and capacity pull backs, air carriers posted mixed traffic results in September primarily on fluctuations in economic conditions and debt concerns in Europe. Airline traffic is measured in billions of revenue passenger miles (RPM), which implies one mile flown by one passenger. The consolidated September traffic dipped 1.7% at the largest U.S. airline United Continental Holdings Inc. (UAL). Both international and domestic traffic plunged 1.3% and 2.5%, respectively. Capacity (or available seat miles) decreased 1% year over year and load factor (percentage of seats filled with passengers) dropped 50 basis points (bps). United Continental expects a 13–14% year-over-year increase in unit revenue for the month of September, measured by passenger revenue ]]></description>

The game really gets under way next week, when we will get reports from 336 firms, including 99 members of the S&#38;P 500. Thus, by the end of the week we will have a very good idea of how the overall season will go. Not only will there be a lot of reports, but many of those we get will be very important ones. The table at the end of this report reads like a who’s who of American industry, including: Apple (AAPL), American Express (AXP), Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C), General Electric (GE), Goldman Sachs (GS), IBM (IBM), Intel (INTC) and McDonald’s (MCD). And that&#8217;s just the first half of the alphabet! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The largest U.S. low-cost carrier Southwest Airlines (LUV) plans to keep next year’s capacity relatively flat with the 2011 level. The company might not increase flights even in 2013. The decision was based on surging fuel prices and economic weakness. Given steep rises in fuel prices, the company is taking cautious steps to counter weaker demand, softness in corporate travel trends and lower bookings due to high unemployment and the recent topsy-turvy in financial markets. Although Southwest has implemented eight fare increases since last December in response of fuel price inflation, it is now cutting capacity to handle sluggish demand. Southwest will trim its domestic flights next year but increase international voyages. The purchase of AirTran, earlier this year, boosted its flying capacity by 25%. The company is expected to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The second largest U.S. airline Delta Air Lines Inc. (DAL) will start codesharing its flights with Virgin Australia on the trans-Pacific route from November. The move is part of the joint venture between the two airlines that received all necessary approvals in June. Per the deal, Delta will add its code to Virgin Australia flights between Los Angeles and the Australian cities ––Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. At the same time, Virgin Australia will add its code to Delta&#8217;s services between Los Angeles and Sydney. The joint venture thus expands trans-Pacific services and entails various benefits, including accrual of frequent flier miles and premium lounge access to customers. The trans-Pacific codesharing marks the latest expansion in the joint venture. In May, Delta added its code to Virgin Australia flights to five ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Southwest Airlines (LUV) is mulling over raising airfares for fall-winter season travel. After the losses post Hurricane Irene,the airline industry is looking at potential benefits fromhigher travel demand during the holidays and Southwest Airlines is no exception. During late summer, the carrier had offered a limited period sale on fall-winter travel from September 8 to November17. Now, looking at the holiday demand trend, the company has increased fares for business travelers. We see the price hike as a good augury for Southwest Airlines, particularly after a weak first half. Southwest Airlines faced a serious setback in its first and second quarters due to staggering operating costs given skyrocketing fuel prices. In addition, Hurricane Irene had fueled negative sentiments for the company. The company quickly resorted to fare hikes and capacity ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The discounted U.S. airline JetBlue Airways Corporation (JBLU) reported a 5.8% year-over-year increase in August 2011 traffic. Airline traffic is measured in billions of revenue passenger miles, which implies one mile flown by one passenger. On a year-over-year basis, capacity (or, available seat miles) grew 4.6% and load factor (percentage of seats filled with passengers) increased 90 basis points (bps) to 87.3% from 86.4%. JetBlue saw strong traffic in August unlike its largest rivals Delta Air Lines (DAL) and United Continental Holdings Inc. (UAL). Delta’s traffic declined 0.3%, while United Continental traffic dropped 2.7%. However, the low-cost carrier Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV) recorded the largest year-over-year increase followed by Southwest Airlines’ 3.9% rise. We believe JetBlue is poised to grow even in the rising fuel environment. The company has an ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The second largest U.S. airline Delta Air Lines Inc. (DAL) plans to trim its capacity by 2–3% next year followed by this year’s capacity reductions. The cuts will be in markets where fare hikes are unable to deal with higher fuel prices. The company’s flight reduction strategy is well in force even this year. Management reaffirmed 4–5% capacity cut by the fourth quarter of this year. Domestic capacity will be slashed by 1–3% and international capacity by 4–6%. In the trans-Atlantic route, Delta Air Lines with its partners, Air France KLM and Alitalia, will reduce capacity by 7–9% by the end of the year. Delta Air Lines is lowering its capacity to counter overall cost, including fuel price inflation. Further, Delta is trying to reduce its non-fuel expense by the ]]></description>

Airline traffic is measured in billions of revenue passenger miles, which means one mile flown by one passenger. On a year-over-year basis, capacity (or, available seat miles) grew 0.8% and load factor (percentage of seats filled with passengers) increased 40 basis point (bps). Domestic traffic dropped 1.8% year over year due to capacity decrease of 2.6% and load factor improved 70 bps to 86.5%. International traffic grew 1.9% year over year driven by a 1.8% capacity increase while load factor upped 10 bps to 87.5%. The recent hurricane Irene caused a major setback to the carrier’s operations in August. Consequently, the carrier grounded approximately 2,200 flights that restricted the month’s profit by approximately $15 million. August traffic ]]></description>

Airline traffic is measured in billions of revenue passenger miles (RPM), which implies one mile flown by one passenger. The consolidated July traffic dipped 0.1% at the largest U.S. airline United Continental Holdings Inc. (UAL). The drop of 0.4% in international traffic was partially offset by a rise of 0.3% in domestic traffic. The 0.2% increase in capacity (or available seat miles) was partially offset by a 30 basis point (bp) year-over-year decrease in the load factor (percentage of seats filled with passengers).

Under the terms of the deal, Delta will invest $65 million in Aeromexico. In exchange, Delta will receive some shares of Aeromexico and will become a member of its board. The transaction is waiting approval from Mexican regulators. The transaction will solidify network expansion of both companies between U.S. and Mexico amidst weak demand, uncertain economy and high fuel prices. In addition, Aeromexico’s Boeing Inc. (BA) 777, 767 and 737, and Embraer SA (ERJ) 145 and 190 fleet will further benefit Delta’s network.

		<description><![CDATA[One of the leading low cost carriers, Southwest Airlines Co.’s (LUV) board of directors has announced a share repurchase authorization of $500 million. In 2008, the company repurchased 4.4 million shares for approximately $54 million under a $500 million program announced that same year. However, given weak market conditions, management had suspended the buyback plan. The company has now regained its repurchase authorization, highlighting its strong cash flow position and short-term investments of approximately $4.4 billion. Further, the company is banking upon rising synergies from the AirTran merger, which will likely remain accretive to earnings in 2011. However, Southwest Airlines recently announced lower-than-expected its second quarter earnings which remained lower than expected. The company’s adjusted earnings dropped deteriorated from its year-ago performance, reflecting its failure to counter sky-high fuel expenses ]]></description>

The second quarter results include the financial results of AirTran, following its acquisition on May 2, 2011. Adjusted earnings in the second quarter excluded approximately $40 million or 6 cents per share (net of taxes) special item, primarily related to financial advisory fees and severance payments for the acquisition and integration of AirTran.

		<description><![CDATA[The economy remains in the spotlight as the news flow of the last few days has painted a less than flattering picture of the recovery. We now know that the manufacturing and service sectors lost ground as they entered the third quarter. We will have the full picture of the economy in July after Friday&#8217;s non-farm payroll report. This morning&#8217;s weekly Jobless Claims report gives us a flavor of what is going on in the labor market. The market will also be digesting developments in Europe, where the European Central Bank (ECB) left interest rates unchanged. The market&#8217;s focus has clearly shifted to Italy and Spain as these two countries struggle with their weak finances. On the U.S. labor market front, weekly Jobless Claims came a tad better than expected ]]></description>

The share price was the lowest amongst its largest rivals since November 2009.

The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for the second quarter is pegged at 21 cents, representing a decline of 29.02% from the year-ago level. With respect to earnings surprise, over the trailing four quarters, Southwest Airlines has outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate for all the four consecutive quarters with average positive surprises of 7.77%. We expect the airline to report strong revenue growth and achieve solid cost control in 2011 as it continues to explore and plan for revenue-producing opportunities going forward, thereby increasing earnings for the company.

		<description><![CDATA[Despite the lingering uncertainty in U.S. recovery as well as debt concerns in Europe, the demand for air travel has rebounded to some extent after the March 2011 Japan catastrophe. For the past several months, air carriers have been struggling with rising fuel prices. In order to alleviate the pressure, the carriers are passing the increased cost to customers by hiking fares. Airline traffic is measured in billions of revenue passenger miles (RPM), which implies one mile flown by one passenger. The consolidated June traffic dipped 0.9% at the largest U.S. airline United Continental Holdings Inc. (UAL). Both domestic and international traffic fell 0.9% and 1.2%, respectively, during the month. The 0.6% increase in capacity (or available seat miles) was partially offset by a 130 basis point (bps) year-over-year decrease ]]></description>

Some stocks rallied on this news and none were better positioned to profit from lower oil prices than those in the fuel-dependent Transportation Sector. Over the past few years, we have seen a roller coaster ride for Airline Industry stocks as they have dealt with both recession and wild swings in fuel costs. Those prescient enough to lay on some fuel hedging strategies&#8211;such as Southwest&#8211;were recently ]]></description>
