Quote by Andrew Sullivan
We've got fuel prices coming down and good travel numbers coming out, so it's not surprising airline stocks are going up.
Summary
This quote suggests that the decrease in fuel prices and positive statistics related to travel are contributing factors to the rise in airline stocks. The correlation between reduced fuel costs and increased profitability for airlines makes this increase in stock prices unsurprising. Furthermore, the positive travel numbers imply a growth in demand for air travel, which further supports the upward trend seen in airline stocks.
