Airline stocks are down on Monday and we’re diving into why that’s the case.
As with much of the turmoil the stock market is experiencing today, airline stocks are down due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This comes as Europe restricts flights from Russia due to the recently-started war.
There’s also talk that Russia plans to block incoming flights to its airports. If that happens, it will keep several companies from being able to do business in the country, which explains why airline stocks are down today, reports Skift.
Let’s take a look at how the war between Russia and Ukraine is affecting some airline stocks below!
