Airlines recently went through a string of consolidation with the most recent purchase of Westjet Airlines (WJA-T) and the acquisition proposal of Transat (TRZ.A-T) by Air Canada (AC-T).

The airline industry has recently received extensive press with the Boeing 737 Max crash and subsequent grounding of crafts. There are also concerns over the cost competition brought about by low-cost carriers. Furthermore, they can be vulnerable to oil price and geopolitical events.

CNBC was reporting a few weeks ago (in April) that analysts predicted Airline stocks could still rally another 20% this year.

In the long-term, analysts expect millennials who value experience to help bolster the airline industry.
