Article Abstract:

Leveling of capacity helped US airline traffic rise 2% in 1995 and continue at a 6% rate during the first four months of 1996. Airlines in 1995 and the 1st qtr of 1996 also showed profits for the first time since 1989. Airline economics are also being impacted by tax changes, lower commissions for travel agents, and electronic ticketing. Airline profits are expected to be higher in 1996 and 1997, and several stocks are good investments in 1996.

Article Abstract:

Airlines and air cargo companies are more profitable in 1995 due to limited expansion, better cost controls, reduced short-haul competition, and firmer prices. Airline traffic has slowed in 1995 after a 5% increase in 1994. Travel agent commissions for domestic flights are being cut to $50 and $25 for round-trip and one-way flights respectively. These stocks will continue to perform well due to profits in 1995 and 1996.

Article Abstract:

The airline load factor rose 2.8% for the first 10 months of 1995, along with a 1.4% capacity increase and a 2.6% rise in traffic. Airlines have shown a profit in 1995 as well, the first since 1989. The new commission structure for travel agents will also save money for airlines, but the low-priced, short-haul service is now more competitive. These stocks will do well in 1996 with higher profits for the year.
