Beacon Equity Research announces the release of Trade Alerts covering Airlines Stocks: UAL Corp. (Nasdaq: UAUA), US Airways Group Inc. (NYSE: LCC), Continental Airlines Inc. (NYSE: CAL), Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE: DAL), AMR Corp. (NYSE: AMR) and TAM S.A. (NYSE: TAM).
In the Trade Alert, the author highlights UAL’s reports 10.9% decline in January revenue passenger miles:
“UAL Corp. (UAUA) shares slipped .46% to $6.45 in today’s early trading. UAL offers air transportation services. The company, through its subsidiary, United Air Lines Inc., provides transportation of persons, property and mail in the United States and internationally. … The company recently reported its preliminary consolidated traffic results for January 2009. UAL reported a January consolidated passenger load factor of 75.2%. Its total consolidated revenue passenger miles (RPMs) decreased in January by 10.9% on a consolidated capacity decrease of 10.5% in available seat miles (ASMs) compared with the same period in 2008.”
The Trade Alert author also featured US Airways’ ending the charge for in-flight drinks while remaining committed to its “á la carte” model:
“US Airways Group Inc. (LCC) shares fell 1.69% to $3.49 in early trading. US Airways provides air transportation for passengers and cargo. The company recently said it would stop charging for nonalcoholic drinks in its coach cabin, a practice that drew the ire of customers and put the airline at a competitive disadvantage. … US Airways said starting March 1, it will no longer charge for in-flight soda, juice, tea, water and coffee. In a memo to employees, US Airways' CEO W. Douglas Parker wrote: ‘With US Airways being the only large network carrier to charge for drinks, we are at a disadvantage. This difference in our service has become a focal point that detracts from all of the outstanding improvements.’ … However, the airline said it remains committed to its so-called ‘á la carte’ model, which is now common throughout the industry. Like many airlines last year, the company adopted an ‘á la carte’ business model, charging customers for checked baggage, choice seats and pillows, helping to raise enough cash to pay record fuel bills without jacking up airfares in an incredibly competitive business.”
