Alaska Air (ALK) Proposes Plans to Expand Footprint to Belize
Read MoreHide Full Article
Alaska Air Group, Inc. (ALK - Free Report) announced plans for service expansion as air-travel demand (especially for leisure), which was dampened by the coronavirus crisis, improves gradually. Starting this November, the airline will start operating seasonal flights to Belize City from two of the airline’s west coast hubs (Los Angeles and Seattle). Belize, a favorite tourist spot, will be the fourth country after Canada, Mexico and Costa Rica, that Alaska Air will fly to from Los Angeles and Seattle.
As part of this expansion program, Alaska Air will add two new routes to the Central American country of Belize. The airline will connect Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) with Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport (BZE). From LAX, new service to BZE (four times a week) will start from Nov 19, 2021 and end on May 23, 2022. The reverse journey (also four times a week) will commence from Nov 20 and terminate on May 24 next year. From SEA, new service to BZE (twice a week) will start from Nov 19 and end on May 21, 2022. The reverse journey (also twice a week) will commence from Nov 20 and terminate on May 22, next year. While fares between Los Angeles and Belize City start at $199, the same between Seattle and Belize City begins at $249.
We believe that the launch of new service to Belize City during the holiday season will not only attract travellers but also recover the carrier from prolonged COVID-19 led crisis. As a result of the anticipated traffic swell, passenger revenues — accounting for bulk of the carrier’s top line — is likely to receive a boost.
Zacks Rank & Stocks to Consider
Alaska Air currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Long-term (three to five years) expected earnings per share growth rate for Landstar, Triton and Herc Holdings is projected at 12%, 10% and 42.9%, respectively.
Infrastructure Stock Boom to Sweep America
A massive push to rebuild the crumbling U.S. infrastructure will soon be underway. It’s bipartisan, urgent, and inevitable. Trillions will be spent. Fortunes will be made.
The only question is “Will you get into the right stocks early when their growth potential is greatest?”
Zacks has released a Special Report to help you do just that, and today it’s free. Discover 7 special companies that look to gain the most from construction and repair to roads, bridges, and buildings, plus cargo hauling and energy transformation on an almost unimaginable scale.
