3 Top Airline Stocks to Buy for the Long Haul
The airline industry took a hard hit at the start of the pandemic in 2020. More than two years later with lockdowns eased and travel restrictions relaxed, the sector is seeing signs of recovery. Airline stocks got boosted this month when Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) reported first-quarter earnings on April 13 and provided an optimistic outlook for the second quarter. Delta expects demand to rise more this year.
In March, many of the top U.S. airlines' CEOs were lobbying President Joe Biden to end the transportation mask mandate and testing requirements for international travelers. Last week, a federal judge lifted the mandate that required all passengers to wear masks (the requirement was likely to be lifted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in early May anyway), but testing requirements will continue.
