Buy Leisure And Tourism Stocks Into 2021

Many investors have been keeping a close eye on the stocks of the major U.S. airlines following the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting crash of their stock prices as transportation demand faltered.

Are Airline Stocks a Buy Following the Latest Bailout?

In a previous article, I speculated on whether a second airline industry bailout would be as overwhelmingly generous as the first was earlier this year. With political appetite among leaders across the federal government apparently souring on the idea of corporate bailouts with virtually no strings attached, I surmised that any future rescue package would come with harsher terms, which would not bode well for financially irresponsible airlines.

Airline Bailout 2.0: Still Generous, But More Strings Attached

On Dec. 27, President Trump signed a $900 billion Covid-19 relief bill; $15 billion has been earmarked to provide payroll support for airline companies. The latest relief package brings the price tag of the airline industry bailout to $65 billion in 2020.

7 Airline Stocks Fighting for Their Survival

President Donald Trump signed a long-awaited COVID-19 stimulus package on Sunday and airlines are among the biggest winners. The US government is making $15 billion out of the package's $900 billion available to air carriers so they can bring back furloughed workers and restore air service to cities that lost airlines during the pandemic.  Airline workers were directly referenced by the president in his statement announcing that the bill would be signed after initially calling for Congress to revise its allocations, specifically to increase direct payments to Americans and reduce foreign aid.

Airline Stocks Fall As Coronavirus Mutates While U.S. Readies More Aid

The stimulus bill making its way through Congress will give US airlines $15 billion in payroll aid to help them bring back more than 32,000 workers sidelined by the pandemic, according to reports. The money included in the $900 billion spending package lawmakers unveiled Sunday will allow major carriers to restore pay for their furloughed staff.

Airlines get $15 billion in stimulus aid to bring back 32,000 workers

Southwest Airlines last week informed federal regulators of plans to add two Californian cities to its route network in 2021 in a bid to grow its presence in the Golden State.  Santa Barbara and Fresno will receive their first Southwest flights in the second quarter of 2021 as the 12th and 13th cities in California served by the Dallas-based airline. Both are in line with Southwest's recent leisure route expansions as Santa Barbara is a popular coastal town while Fresno sits just south of Yosemite National Park.
