Consolidation emerged as a major trend in the airline industry in recent years as airlines grappled with a weak economic environment and high fuel prices. A number of major airlines have announced mergers or alliances in recent years. However, the airline industry can take heart from the fact that the global economy is showing signs of improvement, which should boost leisure and business travelling. Europe, nonetheless, remains a worry for the airline industry. Overall, though, outlook for airline companies such as Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE: DAL), Southwest Airlines Co. (NYSE: LUV), JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ: JBLU), Gol Linhas Aereas Inteligentes SA (NYSE: GOL) and Spirit Airlines Incorporated (NASDAQ: SAVE) looks positive. On Thursday, airline stocks ended mostly higher, tracking gains in the broad market.
