Extended read
Alaska Air Group shares experienced a notable increase of 12.7% this week, contributing to a broader rally in airline stocks. This positive movement occurred despite rising jet fuel costs, as comments from Southwest Airlines' CEO suggested that airlines have successfully implemented multiple fare increases without a decline in demand.
