U.S. Airline Stocks Fall as Oil Prices Jump Following Trump’s Rejection of Iran ProposalMay 11, 2026 6:32 AM
IH Market News U.S. airline shares moved lower in premarket trading on Monday after oil prices surged in response to President Donald Trump dismissing Iran’s latest reply to a U.S.-backed peace proposal as “totally unacceptable,” raising fears that disruptions to global crude supplies could persist.Brent crude futures climbed 2.7% to $104.02 per barrel by 05:14 ET (09:14 GMT), while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude gained 2.3% to $97.55 a barrel. The Strait of Hormuz remained largely shut, continuing to tighten global energy supplies.Against that backdrop, airline stocks came under pressure as investors assessed the impact of higher fuel costs on the sector. Shares in Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV) and United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL) each fell around 1% in premarket trading, while Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) and American Airlines slipped roughly 0.8%.The rise in crude prices erased a large portion of last week’s declines, when both oil benchmarks had dropped approximately 6% amid optimism that the 10-week conflict might soon ease and that shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz could resume.Those expectations weakened after Iran unveiled its counterproposal on Sunday, which reportedly extended far beyond the limited ceasefire framework originally proposed by Washington. According to Iranian state media, Tehran called for a broader end to hostilities across the region, including in Lebanon, where Israel — a U.S. ally — remains engaged in conflict with the Iran-backed Hezbollah group.Iran also reportedly demanded compensation for war-related damage, the removal of the U.S. naval blockade, guarantees against future military strikes, sanctions relief, and the lifting of restrictions on Iranian oil exports. Iranian officials additionally reaffirmed Tehran’s sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.Trump quickly rejected the proposal, writing on Truth Social: “I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.”The U.S. administration had initially pushed for a temporary halt to the fighting before entering negotiations on more complex issues, particularly Iran’s nuclear programme.Southwest Airlines stock priceUnited Airlines stock priceDelta Airlines stock priceAmerican Airlines stock price Original: U.S. Airline Stocks Fall as Oil Prices Jump Following Trump’s Rejection of Iran Proposal

Airline shares jump as optimism grows over possible U.S.-Iran agreementMay 6, 2026 9:28 AM
IH Market News Airline stocks moved sharply higher on Wednesday, with leading U.S. carriers posting gains of between 5% and 7.6% amid growing expectations that the United States and Iran could soon reach a diplomatic agreement.United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL) led the sector higher with a 7.6% rally. Shares of American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL), Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL), and Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV) each gained around 7%, while JetBlue Airways advanced 5%.The gains followed a Reuters report stating that Washington and Tehran are approaching a preliminary one-page agreement to end the conflict, citing a Pakistani source familiar with the negotiations.Separately, Axios reported that the proposed memorandum would formally end hostilities and launch a 30-day negotiation period aimed at reaching a broader detailed agreement.According to Axios, the framework would center on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, limiting Iran’s nuclear activities, and easing U.S. sanctions.The developments also weighed on energy markets, sending oil prices to their lowest levels in roughly two weeks. Brent crude futures dropped 8% as concerns about potential supply disruptions in the Middle East eased.The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world’s most important oil shipping routes, and geopolitical tensions in the region have historically pushed up fuel costs for airlines.A diplomatic breakthrough between the U.S. and Iran could help reduce geopolitical uncertainty and potentially ease operating costs across the airline industry.United Airlines stock priceAmerican Airlines stock priceDelta Airlines stock priceSouthwest Airlines stock priceJetBlue Airways stock price Original: Airline shares jump as optimism grows over possible U.S.-Iran agreement

Amazon CEO Jassy details AI spending plans, forecasts $200B capex for 2026April 9, 2026 9:51 AM
IH Market News
Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Chief Executive Andy Jassy said in his annual shareholder letter that the company expects to spend roughly $200 billion on capital expenditures in 2026, with the bulk directed toward building out artificial intelligence infrastructure.Jassy said Amazon Web Services’ AI business has reached a revenue run rate of more than $15 billion in the first quarter of 2026. He noted that this represents growth nearly 260 times faster than AWS experienced at a similar point earlier in its development. The company added 3.9 gigawatts of power capacity in 2025 and plans to double its total capacity by the end of 2027.Amazon reported total revenue of $717 billion for 2025, an increase of 12% from $638 billion in 2024. Operating income rose 17% to $80 billion from $69 billion. Free cash flow, however, dropped from $38 billion to $11 billion as spending on property and equipment surged by $50.7 billion year over year, largely tied to AI-related investments.The company’s in-house AI chip portfolio—including Graviton, Trainium and Nitro—has reached an annual revenue run rate exceeding $20 billion, with triple-digit year-over-year growth. Jassy said that at scale, Trainium is expected to save tens of billions of dollars in capital expenditures each year while adding several hundred basis points to operating margins.AWS reported a revenue run rate of $142 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025, reflecting 24% year-over-year growth. Jassy said demand for cloud infrastructure continues to exceed available capacity, leaving some customer demand unmet.In its retail segment, Amazon introduced Amazon Now, a rapid-delivery service offering thousands of products within about 20 minutes. The service is seeing order growth of 25% month over month in India, where Amazon operates more than 360 micro-fulfillment centers. The company’s grocery division generated more than $150 billion in gross sales in 2025, making Amazon the second-largest grocery retailer in the United States.Amazon’s Prime Air drone delivery program aims to reach communities representing 30 million customers by the end of the year and is targeting half a billion deliveries by the end of the decade. The company has built more than 85 Same-Day Fulfillment Centers across the U.S. and has already delivered more than 500 million same-day orders in 2026.Amazon Leo, the company’s low Earth orbit satellite network, currently has more than 200 satellites in orbit. It has secured revenue commitments from Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL), which plans to begin offering the service on 500 aircraft in 2028. Additional customers include JetBlue, AT&T (NYSE:T), Vodafone, and NASA.Jassy added that a significant portion of the AWS capital expenditures planned for 2026 is already backed by customer commitments, including a deal worth more than $100 billion with OpenAI.Amazon stock price

Stocks Soar as U.S.-Iran Ceasefire Sends Oil Plunging and Risk Appetite Roaring BackApril 8, 2026 4:35 PM
IH Market News
Wall Street staged its biggest rally in months on Wednesday after President Trump announced a two-week suspension of planned attacks on Iranian infrastructure, contingent on Iran agreeing to immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The breakthrough sent crude oil into freefall and unleashed a wave of buying across nearly every corner of the equity market, with airlines, chipmakers, and mega-cap tech leading the charge higher.The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 1,325.46 points, or 2.85%, to close at 47,909.92. The S&P 500 (SPI:SP500) jumped 165.96 points, or 2.51%, finishing at 6,782.81. The Nasdaq Composite rallied 617.15 points, or 2.80%, to close at 22,635.00. The moves came as U.S. crude oil plunged more than 16% to settle near $94 a barrel — its steepest single-day decline since 2020 — after trading as high as $117 just a day earlier. The collapse in energy prices provided immediate relief to an equity market that had been laboring under the weight of elevated fuel costs and geopolitical uncertainty for weeks.



Notable Movers



Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) surged roughly 12% in a session where the airline had plenty of tailwinds working in its favor. The carrier reported first-quarter adjusted earnings of $0.64 per share on revenue of $14.2 billion, beating top-line estimates even as it flagged a $2 billion fuel-cost headwind for the current quarter. CEO Ed Bastian noted that demand remains strong across premium cabins — where revenue rose 14% year-over-year — but said the company would “meaningfully reduce” near-term capacity growth. The ceasefire-driven collapse in oil amplified the stock’s move as investors recalculated the fuel outlook.Chipmakers were among the session’s biggest winners. Micron Technology (MU) jumped about 7% after UBS raised its price target on the stock, while Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM), ASML (ASML), and Applied Materials (AMAT) all rallied 7% or more on renewed confidence in the global growth outlook. Meta (META), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOGL), and Nvidia (NVDA) led the Magnificent Seven broadly higher as the ceasefire-fueled optimism rippled through the large-cap tech space.On the downside, energy stocks were hit hard as crude cratered. Diamondback Energy (FANG) was the session’s most notable laggard, tracking the roughly 16% decline in oil prices and underscoring how quickly sentiment can shift for the sector when the geopolitical premium unwinds.



Looking Ahead



Thursday brings the fourth-quarter GDP third estimate and February PCE prices — a critical pairing that will help investors gauge how much damage elevated oil costs have done to the broader economy. Friday’s March CPI report and the preliminary April University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment reading could prove even more consequential, particularly for Fed rate-cut expectations; odds of at least one cut before year-end jumped to 45% on Wednesday as the oil crash eased inflation fears. Big bank earnings season kicks off next week with Goldman Sachs on Monday, followed by JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, and BlackRock on Tuesday. Whether the ceasefire holds — and whether Iran follows through on reopening the Strait of Hormuz — will remain the dominant swing factor for markets in the days ahead.

Delta tops Q1 forecasts but issues softer-than-expected profit outlookApril 8, 2026 10:04 AM
IH Market News
Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) reported first-quarter earnings on Wednesday that exceeded analyst expectations, although its profit forecast for the current quarter came in below market projections.Delta shares had already rallied ahead of the results, supported by a broader market rebound following news of a U.S.-Iran ceasefire that drove oil prices lower and lifted airline stocks. The stock was up more than 12% by 06:41 ET.The Atlanta-based carrier posted earnings of $0.64 per share for the first quarter, surpassing the consensus estimate of $0.61. Revenue totaled $14.2 billion, also ahead of the $13.97 billion expected by analysts. Operating income reached $652 million for the quarter, with an operating margin of 4.6%.Delta also said it will eliminate all previously planned capacity expansion for the second quarter, reducing supply by about 3.5 percentage points from its initial schedule.“Delta’s results underscore the power of our brand and the durability of our financial foundation. We delivered earnings that were more than 40 percent higher than last year, even with a significant increase in fuel costs and operational disruptions across the industry,” said Ed Bastian, Chief Executive Officer.“Demand remains strong, and we are taking actions to protect our margins and cash flow. This includes meaningfully reducing capacity growth, with a downward bias until the fuel environment improves, and moving quickly to recapture higher fuel costs.”For the second quarter, Delta expects earnings per share between $1.00 and $1.50, below the Street’s estimate of $1.70, and forecasts an operating margin in the range of 6% to 8%. The company anticipates total revenue will rise at a low-teens percentage rate compared with the same period last year.The guidance assumes fuel prices based on the forward curve as of April 2 and incorporates an estimated refinery benefit of about $300 million, leading to a projected all-in fuel cost of roughly $4.30 per gallon for the quarter.Delta Airlines stock price

U.S. airline stocks rise in premarket as oil slides after Iran ceasefire dealApril 8, 2026 6:49 AM
IH Market News
U.S. airline shares moved sharply higher in premarket trading on Wednesday as oil prices dropped following a conditional ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran, easing tensions that had unsettled energy markets for more than five weeks.Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL), United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL) and American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL) gained between 6% and 8% before the opening bell as of 05:42 ET, while crude oil prices fell to their lowest level since March 25. Brent crude was down 14.1% at $93.83 at the time of writing.Fuel costs, particularly jet fuel, represent one of the largest operating expenses for airlines and tend to move in line with crude prices, meaning the sharp drop in oil is seen as a meaningful boost for the sector’s profitability outlook.The slide in oil prices followed comments from President Donald Trump late Tuesday that he had agreed to pause planned military strikes on Iranian infrastructure for two weeks, provided Iran allows the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.“This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East.”Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also said, speaking on behalf of the country’s Supreme National Security Council, that Tehran’s military would “cease their defensive operations.”Trump, who had issued several warnings in recent weeks before stepping back from escalation, said progress in negotiations had led him to support the ceasefire arrangement. Iran had put forward a 10-point proposal that he described as a “workable basis” for negotiations, and he indicated that a final agreement could be reached within the two-week timeframe.Financial markets reacted positively to the development, with global equities advancing after news of the ceasefire emerged.Delta Airlines stock priceUnited Airlines stock priceAmerican Airlines stock price

"Delta's results underscore the power of our brand and the durability of our financial foundation.  We delivered earnings that were more than 40 percent higher than last year, even with a significant increase in fuel costs and operational disruptions across the industry," said Ed Bastian, Delta's chief executive officer.  "Our results are powered by the Delta people, who will always be our greatest competitive advantage.  In February, we celebrated $1.3 billion in profit-sharing payouts, similar to last year and more than the rest of the industry combined.""Demand remains strong, and we are taking actions to protect our margins and cash flow.  This includes meaningfully reducing capacity growth, with a downward bias until the fuel environment improves, and moving quickly to recapture higher fuel costs.  Delta is best positioned to navigate this environment, with a leading brand, strong financial foundation, and the benefit of our refinery.  In the June quarter, we expect to lead the industry with $1 billion of profit.  And while the recent fuel spike is currently impacting earnings, I'm confident this environment ultimately reinforces Delta's leadership and accelerates long-term earnings power."March Quarter 2026 GAAP Financial ResultsOperating revenue of $15.9 billionOperating income of $501 million with an operating margin of 3.2 percentPre-tax loss of $214 million with a pre-tax margin of (1.4) percentLoss per share of ($0.44)Operating cash flow of $2.4 billionMarch Quarter 2026 Non-GAAP Financial ResultsOperating revenue of $14.2 billionOperating income of $652 million with an operating margin of 4.6 percentPre-tax income of $532 million with a pre-tax margin of 3.7 percentEarnings per share of $0.64Operating cash flow of $2.4 billionFinancial Guidance1

Guidance assumes fuel at the forward curve as of April 2, 2026, and includes a refinery benefit of approximately $300 million.  This results in a projected all-in fuel price of approximately $4.30 per gallon for the second quarter.Revenue Environment and Outlook"Total revenue of $14.2 billion was a March quarter record and nearly 10 percent higher than last year, growing several points above our initial outlook, on broad demand strength across corporate and leisure," said Joe Esposito, Delta's chief commercial officer.  "With continued strength in demand, combined with our actions on capacity reductions and fuel recapture, we expect total revenue growth in the June quarter to be up low-teens on flat capacity over prior year."Record March quarter revenue with broad strength across customer segments, geographies, and products: March quarter total revenue increased 9.4 percent over the same period last year to a record $14.2 billion, led by premium, corporate, and loyalty.  Adjusted total unit revenue (TRASM) grew 8.2 percent over prior year, with a 1.6 point contribution from robust MRO growth.Continued momentum in diverse, high-margin revenue streams: Delta's diversified revenue base represented 62 percent of total revenue and grew mid-teens over prior year.  Premium revenue grew 14 percent compared to the March quarter of 2025.  Loyalty and related revenue increased 13 percent, primarily driven by continued double-digit growth in card spend and an expanding cardholder base.  American Express remuneration of over $2 billion grew 10 percent over prior year.  MRO revenue increased by more than $200 million year-over-year, reflecting significant growth and strong execution by the Delta TechOps team.  Cargo revenue increased 9 percent.Healthy unit revenue improvement across all geographies, with positive inflection in main cabin growth: Domestic unit revenue grew 6 percent year-over-year with strength across all cabins.  International unit revenue grew 5 percent led by Transatlantic, our largest and most profitable international entity.  The March quarter was the first full quarter of positive unit revenue growth in main cabin since the end of 2024, reflecting strong demand and continued supply rationalization.  Delta's main cabin capacity contracted by 3 percent compared to the same period last year, as continued investment in fleet renewal drove premium seat mix higher.Record quarterly corporate sales2 with growth in all sectors: Corporate sales increased double-digits year-over-year in the March quarter, with performance strengthening as the quarter progressed.  All sectors saw positive revenue growth in the quarter, led by Banking, Aerospace & Defense, and Tech.  Corporate demand for premium products was particularly strong.  Recent corporate survey results indicate 85 percent of respondents expect their corporate travel spend will increase or stay the same in the June quarter. Cost Performance and Outlook"Delta delivered record March quarter revenue, with an operating margin of 4.6 percent and earnings of $0.64 per share, within our initial guidance range even with a sharp run up in March fuel prices.  Non-fuel unit costs grew 6 percent over prior year, reflecting lower than planned capacity growth and higher recovery costs.  For the June quarter, we expect non-fuel unit costs to grow at a rate similar to the March quarter, reflecting the impact of our capacity actions and a continuation of higher crew costs," said Dan Janki, Delta's chief operating officer3.  "Improving operational resilience is a top focus and we are confident in delivering improvement in both operational and cost performance in the second half of the year."1 Non-GAAP measures;

$               81,317Note A: The following tables show reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures. The reasons Delta uses these measures are described below. Reconciliations may not calculate exactly due to rounding.Delta sometimes uses information ("non-GAAP financial measures") that is derived from the Consolidated Financial Statements, but that is not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). Under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, non-GAAP financial measures may be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. The tables below show reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.Forward Looking Projections. Delta is not able to reconcile forward looking non-GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort because the adjusting items such as those used in the reconciliations below will not be known until the end of the period and could be significant.Adjustments. These reconciliations include certain adjustments to GAAP measures that are made to provide comparability between the reported periods, if applicable, and for the reasons indicated below:Third-party refinery sales. Refinery sales to third parties, and related expenses, are not related to our airline segment. Excluding these sales therefore provides a more meaningful comparison of our airline operations to the rest of the airline industry.MTM adjustments and settlements on hedges. Mark-to-market ("MTM") adjustments are defined as fair value changes recorded in periods other than the settlement period. MTM fair value changes are not necessarily indicative of the actual settlement value of the underlying hedge in the contract settlement period, and therefore we remove this impact to allow investors to better understand and analyze our core performance. Settlements represent cash received or paid on hedge contracts closed (i.e., settled) during the applicable period. With respect to hedges related to Monroe's inventory, settlements often occur before the related refinery inventory is sold. Beginning with the March 2026 quarter, settlement gains and losses related to Monroe's inventory that remains on-hand at period end are excluded from our adjusted results. These settlement gains and losses will be reflected in adjusted results during the period the inventory is sold. This change was made to match the timing of expense and revenue recognition and we have similarly adjusted the presentation of reconciliations for prior periods included here.MTM adjustments on investments. Unrealized MTM gains/losses result from our equity investments that are accounted for at fair value in non-operating expense. The gains/losses are driven by changes in stock prices, foreign currency fluctuations and other valuation techniques for investments in certain companies, particularly those without publicly-traded shares. Adjusting for these gains/losses allows investors to better understand and analyze our core operational performance in the periods shown.Loss on extinguishment of debt. This adjustment relates to early termination of a portion of our debt. Adjusting for these losses allows investors to better understand and analyze our core operational performance in the periods shown.Realized gain on sale of investments. This adjustment relates to gains on the sale of investments generated in adjusted results that had previously been included in GAAP results through MTM adjustments. Adjusting for this gain allows investors to better understand and analyze our core operational performance in the periods shown.Operating Revenue, adjusted and Total Revenue Per Available Seat Mile ("TRASM"), adjusted

Delta increases checked baggage fees amid rising fuel costsApril 7, 2026 9:38 AM
IH Market News
Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) said Tuesday it will raise fees for checked baggage on domestic flights and certain short-haul international routes, as carriers seek to manage higher jet fuel costs tied to escalating tensions in the Middle East.The move marks Delta’s first increase in domestic baggage fees in two years and comes after similar pricing adjustments by United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL) and JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ:JBLU).Airlines globally have been grappling with a sharp rise in fuel prices, which has pushed operating expenses higher and pressured profit margins. The surge in energy costs follows disruptions linked to tensions in the Middle East that have affected traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a major global oil transit route.Delta said that for tickets purchased on or after Wednesday, the fee for the first and second checked bags will rise by $10 each, while the cost of checking a third bag will increase by $50.Under the new pricing, the first checked bag will cost $45, the second $55, and the third bag $200.Delta Airlines stock priceUnited Airlines stock priceJetBlue Airways stock price

(NASDAQ:AMZN) to use the company’s low-Earth orbit satellite service for onboard Wi-Fi, handing Amazon’s space venture a notable aviation customer as it competes with SpaceX’s Starlink.Delta said Tuesday the connectivity system will be installed on 500 aircraft starting in 2028, initially focusing on domestic narrow-body jets from Boeing and Airbus.Amazon’s LEO (low Earth orbit) satellite network is designed to deliver faster and more stable internet connections, enabling passengers to stream video and send messages during flights. Chris Weber, vice president of Amazon Leo, said the improved speeds come from satellites orbiting closer to Earth than traditional systems.“I think of the high-speed, reliable connectivity of the planes as foundation, and Delta will build some very unique experiences on top of that,” Weber said.Weber added that Amazon Leo is continuing to expand its satellite constellation, with around 200 satellites already in orbit and hundreds more prepared for launch.Airlines have increasingly been upgrading onboard connectivity, often offering free high-speed Wi-Fi to loyalty program members as they compete to attract passengers. Some carriers are also exploring ways to generate revenue from onboard connectivity through targeted advertising and potential e-commerce features.American Airlines is reportedly evaluating a return of seat-back screens on its narrow-body aircraft and may use either SpaceX’s Starlink or Amazon Leo, potentially paired with Amazon Prime entertainment content, according to CNBC. A decision could come as soon as next month.Starlink currently operates more than 9,000 satellites in low-Earth orbit and has been rapidly expanding its presence in the aviation sector. Airlines including United Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines have recently begun using Starlink Wi-Fi onboard, while British Airways, Air France and Emirates have also agreed to adopt the service.Prior to the Delta deal, JetBlue Airways was Amazon’s only airline partner for in-flight Wi-Fi services.Delta Airlines stock priceAmazon stock price

Airline stocks jump as oil falls after Trump delays Iran strikesMarch 23, 2026 10:02 AM
IH Market News
Shares of major U.S. airlines moved sharply higher on Monday as crude oil prices declined after President Donald Trump announced that planned strikes on Iranian energy facilities would be delayed by five days.In pre-market trading, American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL) rose 4.3%, while United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL) gained 3.9%. Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) advanced 3.6%, JetBlue (NASDAQ:JBLU) climbed 3.2%, and Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV) increased 3.8% shortly before 8 a.m. on Monday.Trump said in a Truth Social post early Monday that he had instructed the Department of War to postpone the strikes following discussions between the United States and Iran over the past two days.“I am pleased to report that the United States of America, and the country of Iran, have had, over the last two days, very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East,” Trump wrote. “Based on the tenor and tone of these in depth, detailed, and constructive conversations, which will continue throughout the week, I have instructed the Department of War to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five day period, subject to the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions.”Oil prices reacted immediately to the announcement, falling from above $98 per barrel to below $85 within minutes. Prices later recovered some losses and were trading above $92, still about 6.6% lower on the day.On Saturday, Trump had warned that the United States would target Iran’s power plants if Tehran failed to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours. The threat came just one day after he spoke about winding down the conflict, which has now entered its fourth week.American Airlines stock priceUnited Airlines stock priceDelta Airlines stock priceJetBlue Airways stock priceSouthwest Airlines stock price

Hands In and UATP Announce Global Partnership to Transform Airline Payments WorldwideMarch 10, 2026 10:39 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Partnership Brings Split Payments to the Travel Industry via UATP's Ceptor® PlatformLONDON and WASHINGTON, March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hands In, the UK-based split payment solutions provider and UATP, the global network that helps organizations simplify payments and expand their payment options, today announced a strategic partnership allowing airlines to activate Hands In's proprietary split payments API to combine multiple cards, payers, and payment methods for one payment.
The collaboration brings together UATP's position as a leader in aviation payments infrastructure with Hands In's rapidly adopted split payment functionality helping airlines      modernize checkout without disrupting their current payment architecture.  Across travel and other high-value commerce sectors, these capabilities help merchants recover transactions that would otherwise be lost due to insufficient funds or card limits while enabling larger purchases and shared bookings.   Samuel Flynn, CEO of Hands In, stated, "Airlines do not want another complex integration. They want functionality that works within their existing infrastructure. By embedding directly into UATP's Ceptor, Hands In is making split payments that combine multiple cards, payers, and methods accessible at a global scale, not only from an enablement perspective but also reconciliation, which is the major challenge for airlines accepting split payments today."Through this partnership, airlines across the globe will be able to offer travelers the ability to split the cost of flights and ancillary services between cards and payment methods, directly at checkout, without needing internal development for this functionality. "UATP continues to lead in payments innovation. Integrating Hands In into the Ceptor platform allows us to offer airlines enhanced flexibility to travellers at checkout while preserving the integrity and reliability of our Network," stated Ralph Kaiser, President and CEO of UATP.As demand for flexible payment options continues to rise, particularly for higher-value travel purchases, this collaboration empowers airlines to increase conversion and approval rates, grow ancillary revenue, and improve customer satisfaction. Passengers benefit from greater financial flexibility and transparency, while airlines maintain full control over the customer experience within their own branded environment.As airlines continue to innovate in retailing and digital transformation, this partnership sets a new standard for flexible, customer-centric payment experiences in the aviation sector.For more information, visit https://www.handsin.com/ and uatp.comUATP media contact:   Wendy Ward, wward@uatp.comHands In media contact:  hafsa@handsin.comAbout Hands InHands In is a UK-based payment solutions company specializing in split payment enablement, which combines multiple cards, payment methods, and payers into one payment for the travel industry.  Founded in 2022, Hands In enables merchants to unlock incremental revenue from adding new sales at checkout and recovering payment declines without changing their existing payment stack.  Learn More: https://www.handsin.com/About UATPUATP is one of the largest global and most secure closed-loop networks, simplifying payments in complex industries.

Airline and cruise stocks slide as oil spike rattles travel sectorMarch 9, 2026 11:45 AM
IH Market News
Shares of major airlines and cruise operators fell sharply on Monday as surging oil prices triggered a selloff in travel-related stocks.United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL) dropped 6%, while American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL) fell 5%. Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) declined 4.5% and Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV) slipped 3.8%, as investors reacted to the sharp rise in crude prices.Oil jumped roughly 20% in early Monday trading, reaching its highest levels since July 2022. The surge followed an escalation in the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran, which has prompted some Middle Eastern producers to curb supply and raised concerns about potential disruptions to tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.Cruise operators also came under pressure. Carnival (NYSE:CCL) fell 7%, Royal Caribbean (NYSE:RCL) dropped 6.6%, and Norwegian Cruise Line (NYSE:NCLH) declined 6%.Deutsche Bank warned on Friday that the spike in oil prices could pose a serious threat to the airline industry. The firm noted that the sector suffered significant financial damage during the 2005 fuel price surge, when Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines were forced to file for bankruptcy.“Absent near-term relief, airlines around the world could be forced to ground” thousands of aircraft as a result of the Iran war, analyst Michael Linenberg wrote in a note. “Some of the industry’s financially weakest carriers could halt operations.”Although U.S. airlines are largely shielded from the direct travel disruptions affecting the Middle East, jet fuel accounts for as much as 30% of their operating costs, leaving them highly sensitive to fluctuations in oil prices.Analysts say that if the conflict persists, elevated oil prices could continue to weigh on airline profitability and the broader travel sector.United Airlines stock priceAmerican Airlines stock priceDelta Airlines stock priceSouthwest Airlines stock priceCarnival Corporation stock priceRoyal Caribbean stock priceRoyal Caribbean stock price

UATP Partners with MICA to Bring Credential-less Multi-Tender Payment Solution to MerchantsFebruary 19, 2026 10:24 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Solution gives merchants greater payment flexibility and streamlined operations at the network level, powered by Mica's patented technology.WASHINGTON and AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- UATP, the global network that helps organizations simplify payments and expand their payment options, has partnered with credential-less payments infrastructure provider Mica to launch multi-tender payment capabilities for merchants. Powered by Mica's patented payment technology and delivered through UATP's global payment platform, the new network solution enables merchants to intelligently allocate a single booking across multiple payment types in one transaction, while keeping settlement and reconciliation streamlined.







The solution brings together multi-tender orchestration, card authentication, intelligent payment routing, processing and automated reconciliation within a single, network-level payment flow. Merchants can combine cards, account-to-account payments, vouchers, coupons, loyalty currencies, and other stored-value instruments in one transaction, improving booking allocation and simplifying back-office operations.The multi-tender payment solution incorporates patented credential-less tokenization and payment technology, which eliminates stored credentials entirely, removing a primary target for fraud and account takeover attacks. Unlike traditional tokenization, this approach generates ephemeral, single-use keys that cannot be intercepted or reused, enabling secure and flexible payment experiences across channels. This expands UATP's Ceptor capabilities to all channels including in-store, in-airport and in-flight purchases. The partnership solves a growing demand for payment optimization across retail and travel verticals alike. By operating at the network-level, UATP gives merchants a way to modernize their payment stack without disrupting existing acquiring, gateway, or settlement relationships."Merchants want to expand payment choice without adding complexity or cost," said Ralph Kaiser, President and CEO of UATP. "Our proven infrastructure, combined with Mica's technology, helps merchants adopt new payment models efficiently, even in the most complex business environments. By delivering multi-tender and credential-less capabilities as a network solution, we enable merchants to orchestrate multiple forms of payment within a single transaction, while keeping settlement, reporting, and reconciliation fully streamlined across the UATP platform."The rule-based network capabilities allow merchants to decide how to allocate a basket total across various tenders, such as loyalty currencies, stored value, or alternative methods, before routing any remaining balance through card or account-based rails. With this flexibility, merchants can accept a broad range of payment forms, including stablecoin, account-to-account transfers, and traditional methods, all through a single platform optimized for online, in-app, and in-person use."Merchants have been forced to choose between payment flexibility and fraud protection. With Mica's credential-less tokenization and multi-tender payments technology now available through UATP's global network, they no longer must compromise. We are eliminating credential exposure that fuels massive payment fraud, with a more powerful payment experience with multi-tender orchestration, something legacy payment systems simply cannot deliver." said Mike Ward, CEO of Mica.Because the capabilities are delivered through UATP's network, merchants maintain their existing acquiring, gateway, and settlement relationships while gaining access to new multi-tender orchestration and credential-less tokenization and payment technology. The solution will help drive payment innovation across the ecosystem as multi-tender adoption grows.Media Contacts:

Within a single payment rail Mica can support on-line, in-app, P2P and in-store use cases across any form of value; debit, credit, loyalty, crypto, closed loop, stablecoins, etc. By removing structural constraints embedded in traditional payment systems—rigid tender models, credential exposure, and operational friction—Mica gives merchants, networks, and platforms the ability to orchestrate how value is exchanged with greater intelligence, control, and scale.

🇮🇪 How Much Money Ireland Is Losing From Tourism Right Now
Ireland hasn’t fully recovered its pre-pandemic tourism strength, and that gap is costing the country hundreds of millions of euros each year.

➡️ Ireland is currently losing an estimated €700 million–€1 billion annually in tourism revenue compared to 2019 levels.
That shortfall comes from:

fewer long-haul visitors (especially from the U.S. and Asia)

higher travel costs

reduced air capacity

slower recovery in business travel

weaker spending per visitor

Ireland’s tourism economy is heavily dependent on international arrivals, so even a modest drop hits hard. $DAL

American Airlines CEO Isom Faces Growing Pilot Backlash After Underwhelming PerformanceFebruary 4, 2026 8:15 AM
IH Market News
American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:AAL) CEO Robert Isom is coming under increasing scrutiny from the carrier’s pilots, who argue that his leadership has left the airline lagging behind rivals Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE:DAL) and United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:UAL) in terms of profitability.The Allied Pilots Association (APA), which represents roughly 16,000 pilots at American, is weighing a potential vote of no confidence in Isom and the broader executive team. Such a vote could take place as soon as Friday, according to APA spokesperson Dennis Tajer.In a message circulated to union members late Monday, APA President Nick Silva delivered a pointed assessment of management, writing: “The company under this management team appears to lack the tools, creativity, leadership and willpower to return American to prominence among its peers.”The possible no-confidence vote follows what the union described as insufficient operational readiness ahead of last month’s winter storm, as well as continued frustration over the airline’s recent financial results.American Airlines’ shares have fallen 8.6% since the start of 2026, trailing the performance of both United and Delta. The decline extends a broader slump after the stock dropped 12% in 2025, fueling investor concerns over whether current leadership—particularly Isom—can engineer a sustained turnaround.Isom has led American as CEO since March 2022, after serving as president for nearly six years. During the company’s most recent earnings call, he pushed back against criticism of the airline’s financial health, telling investors: “Our balance sheet is the strongest it’s been in years.”American Airlines stock priceDelta Airlines stock priceUnited Airlines stock price

Q&A
I had was just on the changes to Israel. How big actually is that in your total – in the
total market? It's a lot of ASMs, but it can't be that big in terms of I guess exposure.
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Glen William Hauenstein
President, Delta Air Lines, Inc. A
It's a little over a point of ASMs, and we're not going to give an exact number, but it's included – the revenue hit is
included in our fourth quarter guide. So we've extended at least through October and then we'll see what
happens. The reason we're not saying how much exposure there is, is we don't know how this will evolve yet, so
we're staying very fluid. But I think we feel very confident that we can get inside of our guidance ranges here with
Israel kind of in a worst-case scenario.
