49

Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What will shape its future

  • The Hawaiian integration: synergies and new routes against debt and complexity.
  • Its Seattle and West Coast stronghold, the fiefdom funding everything.
  • Fuel and the travel cycle, the sector's classics.
