Air transport industry

Article Abstract:

Airlines did not break even in 1994, though several made a profit in the latter part of the year. Traffic rose 5% in 1994 and load factor was up 2.8% to 66.3%, while airlines capacity grew only 1%, compared to 1993 figures. Profits are likely for 1995 because of higher fares and more passengers, even though higher labor costs, fare discounts, and competition will be problems. Several airline stocks are well positioned for investment in 1995.

Article Abstract:

Airline traffic for the first four months of 1995 increased 6%. This trend, higher ticket prices, and better cost control will increase airlines earnings for the next three to five years, although short-haul operations are not as successful financially. Most carriers have followed Delta in its travel agent commission arrangements. Airline profits will be higher in 1996, and their stocks should perform well.

Growth is expected to be reported by most air carriers for the 4th qtr of 1998 and early 1999, even though not at the 5% rate of 1997. Increased capacity growth, pricing uncertainties, and strategic alliances between domestic and international air carries are other industry trends which investors must also consider. These cyclical stocks have an average timeliness rating through the years 2001-2003.
