Air transport industry

Article Abstract:

Passenger traffic and capacity have grown for the US domestic and international air carriers in 1999, and this is expected to continue in the year 2000. Fuel costs have risen for air carriers, however, but international traffic is forecast to grow and US carriers are entering into international alliances and joint ventures in order to take advantage of this situation. Investors will find that these cyclical stocks will continue to be volatile in the future.

Article Abstract:

Airline traffic in the US has been rising faster than available seat miles (capacity), and ticket prices have been rising to meet demand, but jet fuel costs have risen, also, and have become a cause for concern. Larger US airlines have created alliances and joint ventures with international carriers as international traffic is forecast to grow faster. These stocks are expected to be volatile given increasing costs and the industry's cyclical nature.
