The judge ordered the airlines to end their more than two-year partnership, which allowed them to share passengers and revenue, and to coordinate schedules in the northeastern U.S. American and JetBlue will stop selling seats on each other's flights next Friday, two months after a federal judge ruled that the airlines' partnership in the Northeast violated antitrust laws . American, however, said it still plans to appeal the ruling on the Northeast Alliance. "We will continue to work with the JetBlue team to ensure customers who have existing codeshare bookings can travel seamlessly without disruption to their travel plans." Thursday is also the last day that customers can use American AAdvantage frequent flyer miles to book flights on JetBlue.

Flights are getting cheaper as airlines ramp up service during what's shaping up to be a busy summer. Delta Air Lines on Thursday reported record earnings for the second quarter, estimated more record revenue through the start of fall and hiked its full-year forecast. Delta's domestic revenue unit revenues fell 1% in the quarter from the same period of 2019, but trans-Atlantic unit revenues rose 22% and the smaller trans-Pacific segment rose 29% and Latin American service unit revenues were up 16%. Airlines have been especially aggressive in adding record amounts of service to Europe this summer and higher unit revenues are showing that fares there continue to hold up. United Airlines and American Airlines will provide their outlooks on demand next week when they're scheduled to report results.

Delta Air Lines posted its highest quarterly revenue and earnings ever thanks to scorching travel demand that has defied fears of an economic slowdown for months. CEO Ed Bastian said he expects consumers' desire for travel will fuel bookings for years, calling the current period the "mid-innings" of travel growth. Bastian said international demand remains robust into the fall and he expects a slow but steady increase in corporate travel bookings. In the third quarter, Delta expects to earn $2.20 to $2.50 a share, above analysts' expectations, on a 16% increase in capacity. Adjusted Revenue: $14.61 billion vs. $14.49 billion expected.

The new first-class seat for narrow-body domestic flights features better technology like armrest wireless charging stations and winged headrests. United and rivals like Delta Air Lines and JetBlue Airways have upgraded their business- or first-class seats in recent months to create more privacy and more room for customers willing to pay a premium to fly. Last year, Delta debuted domestic first-class seats that also feature privacy wings at the top of the seat, while JetBlue redesigned its Mint class to offer seats with sliding doors. The new United first-class seat will first appear on a Boeing 737 this month. The seats will feature three kinds of charging: wireless, a USB-C and an AC outlet.

A Boeing 737 Max is displayed during the Farnborough Airshow, in Farnborough, on July 18, 2022. So far this year, Boeing delivered 266 aircraft to customers, shy of the 316 rival Airbus has handed over. Boeing said Tuesday it logged orders for 288 aircraft, net of cancellations and conversions, in June, most of them from the massive order Air India announced earlier this year and firmed up at the Paris Air Show last month. Boeing's June tally included nearly 40 787 Dreamliners for new Saudi carrier Riyadh Air, part of a deal announced in March. Boeing's total net orders for the month came in at 305 aircraft after it added some planes to its backlog.

JetBlue Airways said Wednesday that it will terminate its partnership in the northeast U.S. with American Airlines after a federal judge ruled to block the agreement, as the New York airline focuses on its acquisition of Spirit Airlines . American said last month that it would challenge the ruling against the JetBlue partnership, but New York-based JetBlue said Wednesday it would not appeal the decision. JetBlue's deal to buy Spirit came together after JetBlue and American launched a partnership in the Northeast. American Airlines said Wednesday that it will still appeal the ruling. A spokesman for the airline did not immediately say how American could salvage the deal if JetBlue plans to begin unwinding it.

President Joe Biden on Tuesday again called for stricter gun control, including a ban on semi-automatic rifles, after several deadly "tragic and senseless shootings" leading up to the July Fourth holiday. At least 10 people were killed in mass shootings in Baltimore Philadelphia, and Fort Worth, Texas. A string of shootings in Chicago over the holiday weekend killed five and left at least 30 more wounded, NBC Chicago reports. His comments come one year after a mass shooting at a Highland Park, Illinois, Fourth of July parade that killed seven people and wounded nearly 50 others. There have been 346 mass shootings so far this year in the U.S., according to the Gun Violence Archive, which defines a mass shooting as an incident in which four or more people are shot or killed, excluding the shooter.

Travelers are seen ahead of the fourth of July holiday weekend at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on June 30, 2023, in Atlanta, Georgia. Flight disruptions piled up at airports around the country ahead of the July Fourth weekend, but airline investors have largely shrugged them off. More than 63,000 flights operated by U.S. airlines, or 30% of their schedules, were delayed between June 24 through July 2. But sky-high travel demand continues to keep airline stocks aloft, with several reaching multi-year highs. American Airlines and Delta Air Lines have recently raised their profit outlooks thanks to strong bookings.

The carrier gave 30,000 frequent flyer miles to customers who were most affected by the chaos. He said that the airline needs more gates at Newark Liberty International Airport because of frequent aircraft backups there. He said that extensively delayed departures, which piled up at its hub at Newark since last weekend, hurt its operation. United sent the 30,000 miles to customers who were delayed overnight or didn't get to their destination at all, a spokeswoman said. United fared worse than competitors with about half of its mainline schedule arriving late and almost a fifth canceled over that period, FlightAware data show.

Workers at Boeing aircraft parts supplier Spirit Aerosystems approved a new labor deal on Thursday, setting the stage to resume production at a Wichita, Kansas, facility after a work stoppage last week. The company and the workers' union, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, reached a new tentative agreement for the 6,000 workers, the union said on Tuesday. The production pause came as Boeing scrambles to increase production of new aircraft. The company went into the strike with an inventory of some fuselages to continue manufacturing.

Flight delays and cancellations continued to mar thousands of Fourth of July travelers on Friday, with United Airlines passengers bearing the brunt of the problems. United Airlines has fared the worst with disruptions, with half of its mainline flights arriving late during that six-day period amounting to average delays of 106 minutes, according to FlightAware data. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg called United out for the flight disruptions, saying the airline's disruptions were "elevated but moving in the right direction." United said late Thursday that it expected cancellations and delays to continue to improve into the holiday weekend. "It led to massive delays, cancellations, diversions, as well as crews and aircraft out of position," Kirby wrote in a staff note, which was seen by CNBC.

A Southwest Airlines Co. plane takes off as representatives and pilots from the Southwest Airlines Pilots' Association (SWAPA) demonstrate outside Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW) in Chicago, Illinois, U.S., on Wednesday, May 18, 2016. Southwest Airlines pilots' union said Thursday it sought to be released from federal mediation for a new labor contract, laying the groundwork for a potential strike as talks with the carrier haven't yet yielded an agreement. The airline and union, the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association, have been in contract talks for more than three years and negotiations have been tense. Pilot strikes in the U.S. are extremely rare, and the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association's request does not mean that one is imminent because of procedures in U.S. labor law. There are several so-called cooling off periods should the National Mediation Board declare an impasse between Southwest and its pilots' union.

Delta Air Lines on Tuesday raised its second-quarter forecast and estimated full-year adjusted earnings of $6 a share, at the high end of estimates it gave last April as strong travel demand and trade-ups to more expensive fare classes continue to drive growth. Delta forecast adjusted earnings per share of $2.25 to $2.50 for the second quarter, up from a previous range of $2 to $2.25 a share. CEO Ed Bastian said that the company's second-quarter earnings, which it will report next month, could be its highest ever for the April-June period. In a presentation ahead of its investor day later Tuesday, the airline also raised its estimate for free cash generation this year to $3 billion from $2 billion. "The demand as you know, as anyone that's traveling knows, is off the chain," Delta CEO Ed Bastian said in an interview with CNBC's "Squawk Box."

Flight disruptions mounted Tuesday as severe storms and staffing issues kicked off a rocky start to summer. Some airline executives have also blamed some of the disruptions on shortages of air traffic controllers. "And that put everyone behind the eight ball when weather actually did hit on Sunday and was further compounded by FAA staffing shortages Sunday evening." The Covid-19 pandemic derailed hiring and training of new air traffic controllers, and the agency is now trying to catch up. The Department of Transportation's Office of Inspector General said in a report last week that air traffic control staffing shortfalls put air traffic operations at risk.

Southwest Airlines said Friday that it has reached a tentative agreement with the union representing its mechanics, aircraft inspectors, maintenance controllers and training instructors. "Our Mechanics & Related Employees work around the clock to safely maintain our aircraft, and we reached a Tentative Agreement that rewards them and helps Southwest maintain an efficient operation," Adam Carlisle, vice president of labor relations at Southwest, said in a press release. The union and airline didn't immediately disclose the details of the agreement but said they would in the coming days. Earlier this month, leaders at Transport Workers Union of America 556, which represents Southwest flight attendants, said they rebuffed a tentative agreement that would have allowed for a membership vote. As Members ourselves, we are just as eager to vote on and ratify a worthy Tentative Agreement."

United Airlines said Thursday it will start sending meal and hotel vouchers for disrupted travel to passengers' phones, in hopes of avoiding customer service bottlenecks at airports and long hold times at call centers. That means rather than stand in line at a customer service desk or dial up an agent, affected travelers can access their vouchers right on their smartphones through the airline's app or website. United said the updates will make it easier for travelers to rebook, track bags and retrieve vouchers. The airline provides food vouchers for flight disruptions of at least three hours caused by the airline, such as a maintenance or technology issue, and hotel vouchers when travelers are forced to stay overnight because of a delay or cancellation caused by the airline, Jojo said. Weather disruptions don't fit those definitions, she said.
