"Asian airline shares have found a way to increase their lift: Attract business travelers, who are increasingly seen perusing their BlackBerrys or tapping laptop computer keys in the region's bustling airport waiting areas...Robust Asian corporate earnings bankroll more and more business trips, aiding profitability and share prices at air carriers like Air New Zealand (ticker: AIR.New Zealand), Cathay Pacific (0293.Hong Kong), Qantas (QAN.Australia) and Singapore Airlines (S55.Singapore) that cater to corporate travelers, say analysts."

From Barron's 4/2/07 "Qantas may provide the whole industry with a little lift. If it works out, a private-equity bid to buy Australia's marque airliner could bring more rationality to pricing. "Qantas' LBO (leveraged buyout) is likely to create more sensible competition as new private owners are unlikely to pursue aggressive fare discounting to gain market share," says analyst Chin Lim of Morgan Stanley. The Chinese airlines have been particularly aggressive price-cutters."

From Barron's 4/2/07 Rising Asian currencies against the U.S. dollar also help because major costs, notably fuel, spare parts and aircraft leases, are denominated in dollars. China Eastern (CEA), which has lots of dollar debt, should reap a windfall from the currency's decline, says UBS.
