Airline Stocks Extend Losses -- WSJ

Dow Jones03-03 19:11

By WSJ Staff

Shares in some of the world's largest airlines fell again on Tuesday as investors count the cost of a prolonged conflict in the Middle East.

Aside from a surge in the cost of fuel, airlines are weighing the viability of routes that have relied on the Middle East corridor. Rerouting around the region can add hours of flight time, which not only uses more fuel, but also upends tightly managed schedules.

-- Shares in American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines all fell in premarket trading.

-- European carriers, including Air France-KLM, British Airways owner IAG and Deutsche Lufthansa dropped.

-- Shares in Asia-Pacific carriers such as Cathay Pacific Airways also sold off.

-- El Al Israel Airlines dropped nearly 5% in Tel Aviv.
