		<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[Southwest Airlines (LUV), the largest U.S. low-cost airline, has agreed to buy AirTran Holdings Inc. (AAI) for a combination of cash and Southwest shares. The agreement conforms with the consolidation trend in the airline industry. This pending merger would be the third in the last two years following the oil price hike in 2008 and economic downturn in 2009. The trend was initiated with the first merger between Delta Air Lines (DAL) and Northwest in 2008. The second is the ongoing acquisition of Continental Airlines (CAL) by United Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of UAL Corp. (UAUA), scheduled for completion on October 1, 2010. The acquisition of AirTran represents a unique opportunity for Southwest Airlines to expand its presence in key markets. Southwest will gain a valuable market presence in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are initiating coverage on JetBlue Airways (JBLU) with a Neutral rating. Currently, the stock has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold). We believe JetBlue will continue to benefit from the recently launched Sabre system, improved pricing, higher traffic, additional ancillary revenue opportunities and future commercial partnerships. However, a large exposure to New York metropolitan area, competitive threats and fuel price volatility may limit the upside potential of the stock. Second quarter 2010 earnings were ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate and the year-ago level, led by the company’s stronger network in Boston and New York, high revenues, and controlled costs. JetBlue achieved the highest ever quarterly operating income in the second quarter. The company ended the quarter with unrestricted cash and short-term investments of $1 billion.

		<description><![CDATA[The pending merger of United Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of UAL Corp. (UAUA), and Continental Airlines (CAL) finally received approval from shareholders of both the companies. Announced on May 3, 2010, the merger won the antitrust approval from the U.S. government in August and received clearance from the European Commission in July. The merger is expected to close by October 1. Upon completion, the UAUA-CAL merger will create the world’s largest airline with enhanced capacity and improved services, overtaking Delta Airlines (DAL), which acquired Northwest Airlines last year. We believe the newly formed company will enjoy a favorable position in an increasingly competitive global and domestic aviation industry and will perform better than any airline standing alone. The integrated company will have fourteen domestic overlapping routes Incorporatedluding Houston-Washington; Cleveland-Denver; ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[August has been a busy month for airliners with traffic showing signs of increase. The economic downturn in 2009 and the oil price hike in 2008 had affected the airline industry during the past two years. Now, with the economic recovery, demand for air travel is increasing from last year&#8217;s depressed levels. Airline traffic is measured in billions of revenue passenger miles (RPM), which is the revenue generated for every mile a passenger flies. Unit revenue and capacity rose for most of the airlines in August. The low-cost carrier Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV) recorded a 6.4% rise in August traffic, the largest growth relative to its peers, on a capacity (or, available seat miles) increase of 3.7% year over year. The month&#8217;s RPM increased to 7.1 billion compared with 6.7 ]]></description>

United Airlines received the antitrust approval by the U.S. Department of Justice to acquire Continental Airlines. This will create the world’s largest airline with enhanced capacity and improved services, overtaking Delta Airlines (DAL). With this approval, the merged company will transfer some of the takeoff and landing rights at Newark airport hub to its rival Southwest Airlines (LUV).

Stocks seesawed through afternoon as traders came to terms with the government&#8217;s charges against the Wall Street giant.  A late-session rally, however, put the beaten-down financial shares in the driver&#8217;s seat. Shares in Citigroup (NYSE:C) surged after its quarterly profit report surprised investors.  Goldman (NYSE:GS) advanced 1.6% even as the Securities and Exchange Commission voted 3-2 on party lines to press the civil fraud charges against the firm.  Goldman said it will fight the charges.

Thanks to a booming local booming economy, Brazil’s two largest airlines – GOL Linhas Aereas ADR (NYSE: GOL) and TAM ADR (NYSE: TAM) – are doing quite well for themselves these days. Brazil will expand by 6.5% this year, and should grow by 4.5% in 2011. But more importantly, its middle class increased notably in 2009 to 53% of its 200 million citizens. Those kinds of numbers easily explain how TAM grew revenue-passenger-kilometers three times faster than even its host country’s fast-growing GDP over the last decade. A hop, a skip and a flight away, Chile’s LAN Airlines ADR (NYSE: LFL) has done well itself. Its ]]></description>

Company Description UAL Corp., through its subsidiaries, provides air transportation services worldwide. The company was founded in 1934 and has a market cap of $4 billion. There is no doubt that UAL is on the upswing, fresh off the heels of its first quarterly profit since 2007 on increased business demand, cost controls and a new stream of revenue from baggage fees. Let&#8217;s take a closer look at its Q2 results from July 22 that sent its shares to a new multi-year high at $25. Second-Quarter Results Revenue for the period ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are upgrading our recommendation to Outperform on UAL Corp. (UAUA) based on the improved outlook for the airline industry. The company&#8217;s first quarter loss narrowed from the year-ago level and surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate, based on good capacity and revenue management as well as improving demand for business travel and premium service. The company expects to generate higher unit revenue growth for the second quarter, driven by recovering business and international traffic and rising fares. United Airlines has made significant progress by generating industry leading unit revenue growth and operating performance. We expect the company to benefit from industry consolidation. The company continues to strengthen its network, fleet and competitive position with the reduced cost. Moreover, United Airlines will become the world&#8217;s largest airline following its merger with ]]></description>

We believe United Airlines is well positioned for growth, thanks to the improving demand for air travel, capacity cuts, its industry leading unit revenue growth, fleet right-sizing, network optimization, its hedging strategy as well as the merger benefits from Continental Airlines. We anticipate that the airline industry will benefit from an improving global economy and expect its unit revenue for the second quarter of 2010 to increase, driven by recovering business and international traffic as well as rising fares.  United Airlines began to benefit from industry consolidation as well as improved economic conditions encouraged by an ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The recovery in the global economy is expected to benefit the airline industry with unit revenues slated to rise in the second quarter of 2010. Rising fares, an improvement in international traffic and an overall recovery is expected to drive this growth. Last year&#8217;s economic downturn and the preceding year&#8217;s steep oil prices had adversely affected the airline industry. We believe that this news will have a positive impact on share price movements of airline companies in the near future. Despite concerns about the recent rise in fuel prices, recovery in business travel and cargo has accelerated along with gains in international and domestic passenger revenue. Moreover, airline capacity is also expected to improve in 2010. Among all the major U.S. airlines, second-quarter 2010 unit revenue of Delta Air Lines (DAL), the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[United Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of UAL Corp. (UAUA), plans a test flight on two flights between the U.S. and Europe to reveal its new fuel-saving techniques. The test flight will go on a round trip from Frankfurt to Chicago on a United 777. The company stated that these new fuel-saving techniques expect to save about 940 gallons of fuel, i.e. 3.0% of the fuel usually burnt by the airline. The flight has received clearance from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as well as air traffic authorities in Canada and Europe. However, the airlines cannot use these techniques in every flight as it may hamper the track of maintaining the required minimum distances between planes. United Airlines first quarter 2010 results are impacted by the increase in fuel prices. ]]></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[We are maintaining a Neutral recommendation on the shares of Southwest Airlines (LUV). We believe the company’s strong balance sheet, low costs, several revenue initiatives, network optimization and hedging strategy make for a compelling investment opportunity. However, heavy discounts, concerns on labor costs, fuel price volatility and technology investment by the company, keep us on the sidelines. Despite high energy prices and weak demand during the first quarter 2010, the company has made a strong start to the year by posting a net income of $0.03 per share in the first quarter 2010 versus a loss of $0.03 in the year-ago quarter. Southwest Airlines made a record in the first quarter’s load factor, passenger yield and passenger revenues driven by the overall demand for low fares and high quality customer ]]></description>

(UAUA), and Continental Airlines (CAL) triggers concerns of retrenchment, especially in Houston, where Continental is based, and Cleveland, where Continental operates a hub. Since the airline industry is highly unionized, this can pose a problem while integrating the workforce. The airlines stated that there would be some job losses while integrating the operations of the two companies, but have no plans for large cuts to the combined workforce of approximately 90,000 employees. The deal is awaiting approval from shareholders and an anti-trust review by the Department of Justice. The chief executive of United Airlines is confident that any U.S. regulatory concerns about the carrier&#8217;s proposed merger with Continental Airlines will be satisfactorily addressed.

		<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>

This merger would give birth to the world’s largest airline by size, pushing Delta Airlines (DAL) back. The deal, which was announced today, will still have to gain approval from shareholders and clear an anti-trust review by the Department of Justice. The airlines resumed merger talks last month after negotiations collapsed in 2008. Deal Facts The merger is reported to cost a whopping $3.2 billion (based on the current stock price) to United, which would involve compensating each Continental shareholder with 1.05 shares of the former company. This exchange will leave United owning 53% of the newly formed company, which will be christened as United ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the airline sector, consolidation is in the air. And with good reason too. Last year, the industry lost $9.4 billion. This year, the International Air Transport Association expects it to lose another $2.8 billion. On the positive side, that makes buying up rivals very cheap. That’s a good thing, considering that no-frills companies like Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) are adding customers, thanks to the recession. The higher-end competition needs to make a profit somehow. Airlines on both sides of the Atlantic leapt at the chance to conduct mergers. Over in Europe, British Airways ADR (OTC: BAIRY) and Iberia announced potential plans last November. And they just recently reached an agreement on the tie-up, which will create the third-largest airline in Europe. Meanwhile UAL Corporation (Nasdaq: UAUA) – a.k.a United ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yet another round of talks between US Airways (LCC) and UAL Corp.&#8217;s (UAUA) United Airlines has been announced, as reported by New York Times. The talks about merger between the two carriers first started in May 2000, but the deal was nixed by regulators and labor unions. Talks commenced again in April 2008. Now the talks have resurfaced again after the successful merger of Delta Airlines (DAL) and Northwest Airlines. CEOs of both the carriers are in favor of the deal and are of the view that the resulting entity will provide competition to Delta. Low demand caused by economic slowdown resulted in lost market share for United Airlines. Its market share decreased to 8.8% in 2009 from 10.4% in 2004. It ranks third in the U.S. measured by traffic ]]></description>

Its lobbying expenditure for 2009 was $690,000. The airline is lobbying on issues relating to the use of personal wireless devices and laptop computers during flights. In addition to this, the company lobbied on aviation security, infrastructure, climate change, taxes and other issues. In the fourth quarter last year, the airline spent to lobby Congress on using biometric technology for airport security. Southwest Airlines advocates that personal wireless communication devices should be prohibited from use. In an incident last year, pilots on Northwest Airlines (NWA) got distracted from working on their computers which caused the flight to miss its destination.

		<description><![CDATA[Airlines are highly susceptible to negative financial impacts caused by major changes in the global economy that drive sudden severe swings in costs or revenues. During 2009, the combined forces of extensive competition and a severe global recession drove numerous U.S. and international carriers to file for bankruptcy and, in some cases, to liquidate. While fuel costs have significantly fallen since reaching historic highs in the summer of 2008, overall demand for airline services has decreased, and may decrease further. The depth of, and recovery from, the global recession continues to be uncertain. The current economic conditions may continue to have negative impacts on passenger demand, revenues, the level of credit card sales activity and cargo operations. The Airlines industry will be spending the next five years playing catch-up after ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[UAL Corporation (UAUA) reported a fourth quarter loss of $1.05 per share, better than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $1.47. Last year, the loss was $4.31. The company&#8217;s loss narrowed during the quarter due to an improvement in demand for business and premium travel along with lower operating costs. Total revenues declined about 8% year-over-year to $4.2 billion. UAL beat its consolidated passenger unit revenue guidance by about one point, as both traffic and yield were stronger than expected through the latter half of December. Cargo and other revenue was $380 million, essentially flat with last year, as ancillary revenues increased year-over-year and strong signs of recovery in both cargo volume and yield brought cargo revenues to within 8% of last year’s performance. Operating expense declined 20.4% ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mesa Airlines, a subsidiary of Mesa Air Group (MESA), announced yesterday that it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, hoping to shed the financial obligations arising from leases on airplanes it no longer needs. Currently, the company has approximately 40% non functioning planes of its total fleet of 130. It hopes to shed 25 others that it does not need. The restructuring is expected to cut the extra fleets, thereby reducing operating cost. Earlier during May, Mesa said it may file for bankruptcy court protection if a contract dispute with Delta Air Lines (DAL), which accounted for approximately 11.0% of Mesa’s revenues, didn&#8217;t go its way. Delta claimed that Mesa failed to meet operational performance goals spelled out in their code sharing contract, because of which, it wanted to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[United Airlines, a unit of UAL Corporation (UAUA), announced last week that it would soon file an antitrust immunity application for a trans-Pacific joint venture with All Nippon Airways Co. and Continental Airlines Inc. (CAL). The joint venture would strengthen United Airline&#8217;s Pacific network and increase seats and cargo capacity. The antitrust approval, which could take six months from the Department of Transportation (DoT), would enable the three airlines to engage in deeper and more effective cooperation producing greater benefits for the carriers and their customers. The joint venture allows airlines to share cost and revenue on certain flights regardless of which airline owns or flies the aircraft. It would also allow airlines to more greatly merge their operations to a point when they would almost be acting as a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[United Airlines, a subsidiary of UAL Corporation (UAUA), has ordered for 25 Boeing 787-8 aircraft from Boeing Company (BA) and 25 Airbus A350-900 XWB aircraft. The orders are worth $4 billion and $6 billion, respectively, at list prices. Following the purchase, UAL Corp. will be the second US carrier to operate the Airbus A350. The company is expected to take delivery of the aircraft between 2016 and 2019. United Airlines intends to reduce fuel burn on typical flights by up to a third, saving 175 million gallons of fuel per year. The company also aims to simplify maintenance by reducing the number of classes of aircraft used on United&#8217;s network. The 787 will replace the 767 (aging approximately 14 years), while the larger variant of the A350 will replace the 747 ]]></description>

System traffic in November 2009, decreased 7.1% compared to Nov 2008 on an 8.4% decrease in capacity. Load factor or occupancy increased 110 basis points to 79.6%. Number of passengers flown during the month of November declined 5.3% year-over-year to 12.2 million. Though the company reported selling more corporate tickets in November, it had to lower prices to achieve these figures, bringing the revenue from corporate tickets 10% down from the year ago period. Delta expects unit revenue to be down 7% in the fourth quarter of 2009, compared with a previous forecast of an 8% decline.

		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Airlines industry has gone through several ups and downs in the past five years. Major negative influences on the industry included skyrocketing oil prices since 2005, economic recession in the U.S. since 2008, global economic downturn in 2009 and the &#8220;swine flu&#8221; outbreak. The airlines industry is cyclical and sensitive to a number of key drivers, the most prominent of which is the world price of crude oil. Since the beginning of 2009, prices of crude oil have been half of what they had been the year before, creating some relief for airlines. However, some industry operators hedged their fuel contracts at higher rates and are still paying the price. Many of the top airlines in the industry have responded by reducing services and aircraft fleet sizes, introducing ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[UAL Corporation (UAUA), the parent company of United Airlines, reported a third quarter loss of 43 cents per share, better than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 93 cents. This compares favorably with the loss of $1.99 per share reported in the year-ago quarter. Results were heavily influenced by a sharp drop in fuel prices and more aggressive management of other costs. Revenues fell 20.3% year-over-year to $4.4 billion as a result of a 14.7% year-over-year decline in mainline revenue passenger miles [RPM] and a 17.1% drop in yield. The revenues were also disproportionately hurt by the decline in premium and business travel. UAL was able to offset much of this by a $1.7 billion decrease in operating expenses, about 80% of which was related to fuel. For ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Airlines industry has gone through several ups and downs in the past five years. Major negative influences on the industry included skyrocketing oil prices since 2005, economic recession in the U.S. since 2008, global economic downturn in 2009 and the &#8220;swine flu&#8221; outbreak. The airlines industry is cyclical and sensitive to a number of key drivers, the most prominent of which is the world price of crude oil. Since the beginning of 2009, prices of crude oil have been half of what they had been the year before, creating some relief for airlines. However, some industry operators hedged their fuel contracts at higher rates and are still paying the price. Many of the top airlines in the industry have responded by reducing services and aircraft fleet sizes, introducing ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Federal Aviation Administration [FAA] on Wednesday accused US Airways (LCC) for operating eight airplanes last year without conducting the mandatory safety checks. The FAA has proposed a penalty of $5.4 million against US Airways. FAA documents allege that US Airways sanctioned 1,647 flights in violation of mandatory safety checks. The flights were operated from Oct. 2008 to Jan. 2009 and were out of compliance of flouted airworthiness directives (ADs) and its maintenance program. After being charged, the management said that the specific regulations were broken when it was integrating new maintenance systems following its merger with America West and has since worked with the FAA to fix the problems. The air carrier has been allowed a grace period of 30 days to justify itself. Though the management is trying ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the third quarter, Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV) is expected to post narrow losses. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Southwest is a loss of 4 cents per share. Southwest may see a drain in its profits from non-cash charges in its fuel hedging program. As of June 30, 2009, the company had fuel derivative instruments in place for approximately 30% of its expected third quarter 2009 jet fuel consumption. Though revenue remains a problem for the airline, it is trying to entice the passengers with cheaper prices. More traffic and less capacity or available seats led to a rise in average occupancy for Southwest in September. Load factor jumped to 74.7%, a gain of more than 11% from Sept. 2008. These full loads were built with cheap fares and other ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Tuesday, AirTran Holdings Incorporated (AAI) announced its intention to offer 9 million shares in an underwritten registered public offering. Along with this, it also intends to offer $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of notes. The closing of the notes offering is expected to be concurrent with the closing of the share offering. The net proceeds from both the offering will be utilized for general corporate purposes, which may include additions to working capital, capital expenditures, or the retirement of debt. AirTran’s ratio of earnings to fixed charge remains low; it has remained in the 1.0X-1.3X range since 2004. For the year ended Dec. 31, 2008, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $308.5 million. On Sept. 26, 2009, the company amended the processing agreement with its largest credit card ]]></description>

According to the investment agreement, Republic has purchased 100% of the stock of Frontier Holdings for $108.75 million.

Republic is looking for moving Frontier’s operations out of Denver where it faces competition from United Airlines (UAUA) as well as discounter Southwest Airlines (LUV). Frontier Airlines had filed for bankruptcy protection in April 2008. The Denver-based airline went into trouble due to a cash squeeze caused by its credit card processing company, First Data Corp, which has decided to keep a larger ]]></description>

The median year-to-date-stock price gain/(loss) has been mixed for industries in the Zacks transportation universe, with all industries underperforming the S&#38;P 500’s 3.3% increase, with the exception of railroads and air freight. Air freight has been helped by large gains in smaller companies as the giants within the air freight sector, United Parcel Service, Inc. (UPS) and FedEx Corporation (FDX), are down 10.6% and 8.4% year to date, respectively. The railroads were helped when CSX Corporation (CSX) kicked off the second quarter earnings season earlier this week with better-than-expected earnings.
