FAA to keep an eye on American Airlines; Air Canada, Fedex slips
North and South American carriers’ stocks continued to suffer on the final day of trading for 2009 (31-Dec-2009), following the failed terrorist attack on a Northwest service from Detroit via Amsterdam earlier in the week. As a result, the AMEX Airline Index fell 0.32%, not helped by a decline in the wider marker, with the Dow closing 1.1% lower at the end of trading.
