Earnings from American and Southwest Airlines are expected to deliver more bad news following downbeat outlooks for the quarter from United, Delta, Alaska Airlines, and Ryanair this week

Record summer travel demand was tipped to translate into bumper earnings for airlines – but quarterly reports are looking less than stellar.

Airline executives attributed the overcapacity to an overoptimistic view of travel demand, which by most standards has been robust. In addition to the discounting pressure, new labour contracts and higher lease rates and maintenance costs have driven up the industry’s operating expenses. Southwest has been hit hard by Boeing’s jet delivery delays, and it is under pressure from an activist investor to oust its CEO, overhaul the board, and shake up its business.

Analysts warn these pricing worries could spread across the sector in Europe. “More aggressive pricing by the market leader is likely to result in adverse fallout for the other European airlines,” Liberum analyst Gerald Khoo said in a note. “I think we are doing better than this,” Varadi told Reuters, referring to Ryanair’s challenges over softer pricing.
