Copa Airlines up; United Airlines calls on governments to continue liberalising air traffic
The majority of North and South American carriers' shares were up on Thursday (11-Feb-2010), moving with the wider market. The Dow (+1.1%) was up after the US Labor Department stated first-time jobless claims fell to their lowest point since Jul-2009, indicating that the labor market is improving. Stocks were also pushed higher by news the European Council pledged its support to Greece over its sovereign debt issues, and a rise in energy and materials stocks.
