Southwest Airlines has increased its revenue outlook for the fourth quarter due to higher travel demand and ticket prices during the holiday season. The airline now expects a decline in revenue for each seat flown a mile of no more than 10%, compared to the previous expectation of up to an 11% drop. However, this adjustment falls short of the guidance boost offered by rival JetBlue Airways. Despite the positive holiday period, Southwest's shares declined before regular trading in New York. The company also continues to face elevated costs, with a slight increase in its outlook for jet fuel prices. [Extracted from the article]

The article examines the financial issues facing U.S. discount airlines. Contentious labor relations, unstable fuel costs, brutal competition and financial woes have long been synonymous with so-called legacy carriers that collectively have lost $23 billion since the 2001 terrorist attacks. Less well-known is that the same problems threaten their discount rivals. The nation's six largest discounters will see their combined earnings drop by 20% this year, predicts "FORBES" and Thomson First Call. Indianapolis-based ATA, the third-largest discounter, could be headed toward bankruptcy. Too much seat capacity is one of the problems. Meanwhile, the big carriers are fighting back, cutting costs to win back the leisure travelers they lost to the discounters. Discounters are also driving up costs by chasing after lower-paying passengers with new routes and new frills, like entertainment gadgetry and even food. The article compares discount airlines Southwest, ATA, JetBlue, AirTran and Frontier/Independence.
