In past decades investing in airlines stocks were considered as poor investment. When we talk about forty year ago, Airline deregulation act of 1978 turned down all the airline stocks, while they brought air travel to masses, it also turned airline stocks into losing investments. Top airlines companies including PAM, AM, EASTERN, and TWA shutdown or sold out due to this after affect and other like American, Delta and United filed bankruptcy.

This was the senior back forty years, but now with Southern Airlines, a new generation of non-legacy startup airline company emerged, today these airlines claim larger shares in the domestic market. Also, some have bought profitable market stock. Those who bought LUV stock in the year 1975 got into equity at the split adjust price of 1% per share.

Airline stocks faced a lot of up and downs, the stocks fallen in recent week as rising cost weigh on profit margins. Even the fuel price fluctuates due to which the amount of buying also drop.
