Why Airline Stocks Are Up Today

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provided new fuel for the so-called "reopening trade," and airline stocks are taking flight as a result. Shares of American Airlines Group (NASDAQ: AAL), United Airlines Holdings (NASDAQ: UAL), Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL), Spirit Airlines (NYSE: SAVE), and JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ: JBLU) are leading the way, all up more than 5% on Friday.
