Airline stocks are a hot topic today as U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg prepares to meet with company leaders.
Buttigieg is expected to speak with airline company executives about ongoing problems in the space. That includes unreliable travel as flights have experienced delays over the last few months.
Airlines are seeing an increase in demand as more people travel this summer. However, many companies have yet to recover from the pandemic and are struggling to keep up. Rising inflation and increasing prices for jet fuel are also only making matters worse
While Buttigieg wants this all sorted out, there’s a chance nothing changes after today’s meeting. That could mean more disruptions to air travel throughout the summer. Especially during the busy July 4th weekend.
All of this news has airline stocks falling today. Let’s see how bad it is below.
