Frontier Airlines private equity owner sees good buys in industry turmoil

Airlines hit hard by the travel restrictions imposed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic may soon present buying opportunities for investors, the co-founder of the buyout firm that owns budget carrier Frontier Airlines said in an interview.

The NYSE Arca Airline Index has lost two-thirds of its value in the past four weeks, more than double the 30per cent drop in the S&P 500 Index, as investors fret about the impact of airlines grounding flights and placing thousands of workers on unpaid leave as air travel is sharply curtailed across the globe to try to stem the coronavirus outbreak."My personal point of view is that they're going to be some really good buys on publicly traded shares of airlines in Europe and the U.S.

While U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has discussed the possibility of providing financial aid to the airlines, it has so far resisted offering grants, as the industry would like.
