Summary
Airline CEOs are warning about a murky U.S. economic picture and weaker near-term demand, leading to a focus on attracting wealthier leisure travelers. Budget airlines are hoping to entice consumers with pricier, roomier seats, while premium seating on international routes remains strong. However, problems are brewing in international travel as well, with weaker demand potentially leading to cheaper flights to popular destinations.
