Spirit, American Airlines shares sell off after lowered forecasts
Two more airlines lowered their third-quarter outlook on Wednesday, reinforcing a recent trend that caused their shares to fall.
Spirit Airlines said it experienced “increased promotional activity with significant discounts” for travel booked from late summer through the pre-Thanksgiving period. Spirit said the company now expects third-quarter revenue of about $1.25 billion, down about 5% from its previous forecast.
American Airlines cut its third-quarter profit forecast due in part to a new pilot contract that will increase labor costs. The contract calls for increases of 46% over four years.
