Weekly Airline Stock Update - BAASA Index Shows a Mixed Bag

Last week, Bangalore Aviation introduced the BAASA Index, the world's first index of 30 airline stocks measured from a 3,000 point base value and designed to provide a broad based measure of airline financial performance and investor confidence in the airline industry.

Over the past week, the BAASA index fell 0.49% to close at 2985.80 points. Performance was mixed across the board by region, though Asia-Pacific outperformed the pack (excluding Qantas).

The weakest performers were Qantas, who suffered a precipitous 30% decline in shares, primarily on recent worries over Qantas reporting a 90% drop in profits for the past fiscal year, and airberlin, which fell 15.56%

On the plus side, Jet Airways, jetBlue, and Air Canada each rose more than 7% over the week, with Air Canada leading the pack with an 8.14% rise.

Here is the full table of values for this week. The initial prices (normalized to 100) can be found here.All values are as

Introducing the BAASA Index - The World's First Airline Stock Index

As the post title indicates, we'd like to introduce the Bangalore Aviation Airline Stock Average (BAASA), by our count, the first officially defined Airline Stock Index. The goal of this creation is to provide a measure of global airline financial performance, and investor sentiment about the global airline industry.

In creating the index, we first picked a representative sample of 30 airlines from around the world, which are shown below broken down by region.

Asia-Pacific: Jet Airways, Korean Air, Singapore Airlines, China Southern, ANA, Korean Air, AirAsia, Qantas, Cathay Pacific

North America: United, Delta, Southwest, US Airways, jetBlue, WestJet, Air Canada, Allegiant

Europe: International Airlines Group (British Airways/Iberia), Lufthansa, Air France-KLM, Ryanair, EasyJet, Turkish Airlines, AirBerlin, Norwegian Air Shuttle

Middle East: Air Arabia

Africa: Kenya Airways

Latin America: Copa Airlines, LAN Airlines (will be replaced with LATAM once the merger is completed), Aeromexico.

The breakdown of carriers by region were taken from IATA's breakdown of global ASKs (i.e if 30% of global ASKs occur in Asia, then Asia would be represented by 9 airlines in the index)

The BAASA Index will have a starting value of 3,000 points - the stock price of each airline on May 28th is initialized to 100 points (to normalize the different values of different currencies. Each week, we will review the change in the stock price, and then recalculate the new BAASA point value (i.e if the stock price increases 12% over a week, the new value of that airline's stock in the BAASA index becomes 112).

That being said, here are the initial values used for the BAASA index.
