The industry group Airlines for America (A4A) predicts that approximately 257 million people will travel on U.S. commercial airlines from June 1 to August 31, representing a 9.5% increase from the previous summer. That would also set a new record, as volumes are projected to surpass the summer 2019 levels by around 2 million passengers.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c3bd60646e26750764828090558b6a4f\" alt=\"U.S. Global Investors\" title=\"U.S. Global Investors\" tg-width=\"900\" tg-height=\"404\"/><span>U.S. Global Investors</span></p><p>To meet demand, airlines will employ larger aircraft and increase capacity by adding approximately 297,000 seats per day. A4A expects the daily average of seats this summer will reach nearly 3.4 million, an increase from 3.3 million per day during the summer of 2019. This translates to an estimated 137 seats per flight, representing a 14% rise compared to four years ago.</p><p>A4A wasn’t the only airlines industry group to issue a positive forecast for 2023. On Monday, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) raised its global airline profit outlook to $9.8 billion by year-end, more than double the previous forecast of $4.7 billion. The group expects around 4.35 billion people to fly commercial in 2023, or about 96% of 2019 levels.</p><p>Memorial Day weekend is typically viewed as the informal launch of the busy summer travel season, and this year was no different. According to data from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), some 9.8 million people flew on commercial airlines in the U.S. from Friday to Monday of the Memorial Day weekend. This figure is slightly higher than the 9.7 million who traveled during the same holiday weekend in 2019.</p><h2>Rise In Leisure Travel Offsets Slow Recovery Of Business Travel</h2><p>I should point out that we’re seeing these new record volumes despite the fact that business travel has yet to recover to pre-pandemic levels.</p><p>Leisure travel, though, is hot right now, even with recession storm clouds gathering on the horizon. A survey conducted in late April and early May by luxury retailer Saks found that more than three quarters (77%) of American adults had plans to book or had already booked a trip in the next three months. Of those, 74% said they would buy luxury items during their trip.</p><h2>American Airlines Raises Q2 Guidance Amid Strong Demand And Lower Fuel Costs</h2><p>American Airlines, the world’s largest airline by passengers carried, upgraded its guidance for the second quarter based on what it sees as “continued strength in the demand environment.” In a regulatory filing last week, American said it now forecasts quarterly earnings per share to fall within the $1.45 to $1.65 range, an increase from its previous estimate of $1.20 to $1.40 per share.</p><p>The revision is based on not only stronger-than-expected demand but also lower fuel costs. The carrier estimates it paid between $2.55 and $2.65 per gallon on average during the quarter, or $0.10 less per gallon than its initial forecast. Fuel consumption is also down compared to years past since American is flying larger aircraft that can accommodate more passengers per flight; this approach is more efficient than operating smaller jets with fewer passengers.</p><p>Investors appear to have recognized airlines’ versatility and ability to raise capacity to meet demand. Shares of U.S. airlines have soared over 27% so far this year, more than double what the S&amp;P 500 has returned. Standout performers include United Airlines, up 27% for the year, and American, up 17%. Among the Big Four carriers, Southwest Airlines is the only one to trade in the red, as it continues to face challenges after its network meltdown during Christmas 2022.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bef7800208641e3bfc6dbab387b3aaa5\" alt=\"U.S. Global Investors\" title=\"U.S. Global Investors\" tg-width=\"900\" tg-height=\"386\"/><span>U.S. Global Investors</span></p><h2>Depressed PMIs, Falling Commodity Prices And Election-Year Investment Prospects</h2><p>A possible headwind to continued economic growth could be the depressed purchasing manager’s indexes (PMIs). In May, the Eurozone Manufacturing PMI fell to 44.8 from 45.8 in April, the steepest contraction in three years. The U.S. Manufacturing PMI also shrank in May, sliding to 48.4 from a neutral 50.2 in April. The JPMorgan Global Manufacturing PMI recorded 49.6, just below the threshold and little changed from March and April.</p><p>China was the only major economy to report month-on-month expansion in its manufacturing sector. The Caixin PMI of private Chinese firms was 50.9 in May, marking the first positive reading in three months. (China’s official state-run PMI, however, fell to 48.8 in May.)</p><p>Widespread manufacturing weakness helps explain why commodity prices have plunged this year. The energy-heavy S&amp;P GSCI lost ground for the seventh straight month in May, a streak we haven’t seen since 2014 when oil collapsed. Year-to-date, the index of raw materials is down nearly 12%.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cca434500f47e7180dc13529da597009\" alt=\"U.S. Global Investors\" title=\"U.S. Global Investors\" tg-width=\"900\" tg-height=\"458\"/><span>U.S. Global Investors</span></p><p>The drop in commodity prices is obviously good for consumers as well as companies, particularly those involved in shipping and transportation.</p><p>I believe it could also be good for investors. The 2024 elections occur in 17 months. President Joe Biden’s approval rating currently stands in the high 30s and low 40s, and Congress’s is even lower at around 16%, according to the latest Gallup poll. To appeal to voters, elected officials may be more inclined to pass and enact legislation that would ignite growth and drive demand, which in turn would support asset prices.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Airlines Are Bracing For Record Summer Travel; Golden Opportunity For Investors?</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nAirlines Are Bracing For Record Summer Travel; Golden Opportunity For Investors?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-06-06 16:46 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4609587-airlines-are-bracing-for-record-summer-travel-golden-opportunity-for-investors><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryAirlines for America predicts a 9.5% increase in airline passenger volumes this summer, surpassing summer 2019 levels by around 2 million passengers.To meet demand, airlines will employ larger ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4609587-airlines-are-bracing-for-record-summer-travel-golden-opportunity-for-investors\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"UAL":"联合大陆航空","DAL":"达美航空","AAL":"美国航空","BK4211":"区域性银行","LUV":"西南航空"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4609587-airlines-are-bracing-for-record-summer-travel-golden-opportunity-for-investors","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2341330488","content_text":"SummaryAirlines for America predicts a 9.5% increase in airline passenger volumes this summer, surpassing summer 2019 levels by around 2 million passengers.To meet demand, airlines will employ larger aircraft and increase capacity by adding approximately 297,000 seats per day, reaching a daily average of nearly 3.4 million seats.Shares of U.S. airlines have soared over 27% so far this year, with standout performers including United Airlines and American Airlines.aapsky/iStock via Getty ImagesIf current forecasts are accurate, this summer could mark a historic high in airline passenger volumes.
