U.S. Airlines: At Cruising Altitude

Summary

Low fuel prices are a major factor keeping airlines in the headlines for strong profitability, letting them off the hook for slowing growth in passenger revenue. Passenger growth picked up somewhat in the first half of 2015, but revenue for the year expanded just 1%. Legacy airlines are grappling with competition from low-cost carriers (LCCs), which are growing faster than traditional carriers in terms of capacity, traffic and passenger value. Growth will remain in the single digits through 2017 when they register US$148.9 billion.
