U.S. airlines with major international operations are expected to perform well in 2025, driven by strong demand from affluent travelers. United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and Delta Air Lines have seen significant year-to-date increases in their stock prices. However, smaller airlines like American Airlines, JetBlue Airways, and Alaska Air Group have faced declines due to factors such as a government shutdown and severe winter storms disrupting operations. Additionally, Alaska Airlines experienced a technology outage that led to numerous flight cancellations.
