Any particular reason why airlines share should not be bought?

Coz it is difficult to assess and gauge the airlines' performance. There are so many unforseen factors that can affect its profitability. i.e. fuel prices, terrorism.
Due to all these ambiguities, it is safer to avoid airline stocks

MAS posts smaller loss...

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=...3935&sec=nation

The MAS Group registered a loss after tax of RM171mil for the first quarter ended 31 March, a significant 29% reduction from the RM242mil loss for the same period last year...

"We cut unprofitable routes especially in long haul where yields were low. This helped us to immediately improve our Revenue per Available Seat Kilometre (RASK') performance year-on-year.

"On the cost side, we lowered our fuel bill with improved consumption as a result of newer fuel-efficient aircraft."

He said improved cost management was also seen for non-fuel variable costs, although currently they were unable to address fixed costs.


The new A380 aircrafts are supposed to be fuel-efficient, provided that the load factor is high. But, can MAS keep the load factor high  hmm.gif

The problem is they are cutting costs and selling assets to "post smaller loss" brows.gif
