Southwest Airlines (LUV) is climbing after Deutsche Bank analyst Michael Linenberg upgraded the stock to Buy from Hold in a note to investors earlier today. The airline, which is poised to increase its return on invested capital, should begin to obtain revenue and cost savings from its AirTran acquisition, Linenberg wrote. Furthermore, Southwest is poised to buy back more shares and pay down more of its debt, added the analyst, who increased his price target on the stock to $15 from $11. In mid-morning trading, Southwest advanced 20c, or 1.83%, to $11.11. | |

A decade of restructuring in the U.S. airline industry has resulted in a sharp reduction in air service that is curtailing traveler choice and some local economies even as it improves the industry's health, an MIT study shows, reports the Wall Street Journal. From 2007 through last year, U.S. airlines cut the number of scheduled domestic flights by 14%. The number of seats offered fell by slightly less, as airlines pushed passengers onto bigger planes, says the study.
