Q2 USA carrier yields tipped to rise 17.6pc

Major USA carriers will start reporting their second quarter results next week, with analysts expecting strong profits.

"Airline managements are in the early stages of focusing on more stable, profitable business models capable of producing higher returns over a full economic cycle," said Michael Derchin, an analyst with CRT Capital Group.

"Revenue growth has been a function of modest load-factor improvement and strong pricing."

A revenue improvement range around the 20 per cent mark is expected on traffic demand up around 2.5 per cent and yields up around 17.6 per cent.
