Sept 23 (Reuters) - Heart Aerospace unveiled a redesigned 36-seat hybrid-electric regional aircraft on Wednesday and said public charter carrier JSX had committed to buy 50 of these planes.

U.S. Global Investors CEO Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss o discuss the strength of global travel demand and why he believes the sector continues to offer attractive opportunities for investors despite higher fuel costs and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty. Holmes said travel demand remains exceptionally strong and is acting as a powerful tailwind for both airlines and luxury hotels, helping companies overcome challenges such as oil prices trading above their 50-day moving average. He pointed to Air Canada as an example of an airline successfully navigating higher fuel costs while continuing to benefit from robust passenger demand. According to Holmes, recent travel trends suggest consumers remain eager to travel despite geopolitical tensions in several regions. He highlighted reports showing a roughly 30% rebound in travel activity out of Dubai, arguing that global demand for both leisure and business travel remains resilient even during periods of uncertainty. A key factor supporting airline profitability, Holmes said, is the industry's increasing use of artificial intelligence and sophisticated revenue-management systems. Rather than focusing solely on filling seats, airlines are now optimizing revenue on a per-seat basis, allowing them to maximize profitability through dynamic pricing and capacity management. He explained that when demand does not justify daily service on a route, airlines are increasingly shifting to every-other-day schedules instead of discounting fares aggressively. This more disciplined approach helps preserve ticket prices, maintain strong load factors and improve overall financial performance. Holmes noted that this represents a significant change from past industry practices, where airlines often added capacity regardless of demand conditions, leading to fare pressure and weaker margins. The strength of travel demand is also benefiting the luxury hospitality sector. Holmes said high-end hotels across Europe continue to command nightly rates between €1,000 and €2,000 without any noticeable decline in occupancy or pricing power. He also cited Toronto's Four Seasons Hotel, which he said is currently charging approximately $1,400 per night. As a result, business-oriented hotels remain highly occupied, reflecting the ongoing importance of in-person meetings across industries. Holmes also highlighted Toronto's unique role as a global center for mining finance and investment, particularly within the gold sector. He noted that the city's status as a hub for mining capital makes direct airline connections especially valuable for firms such as U.S. Global Investors, which manages gold-focused investment funds and maintains extensive relationships throughout the mining industry. Overall, Holmes believes the combination of strong leisure travel, resilient business travel, disciplined airline capacity management and sustained luxury hotel demand continues to create favorable conditions across the travel and hospitality sectors. #proactiveinvestors #usglobalinvestorsinc #nasdaq #TravelETFs #TRIPETF #FrankHolmes #USGlobalInvestors #AirlineStocks #CruiseStocks TravelIndustry #Airlines #Tourism #TripETF #Investing #Hospitality #TravelStocks #MarketOutlook

U.S. Global Investors CEO Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the continued strength of the global travel industry and what the resilient demand environment could mean for airline, hotel and travel-related stocks. Holmes said the global travel sector continues to show strong momentum, with Air Canada indicating that the fall travel season could rank among its strongest ever. He pointed to a resurgence in corporate travel and a reduction in traditional seasonality as important drivers, suggesting that demand is becoming more consistent throughout the year. Holmes highlighted Delta Air Lines as a classic "growth at a reasonable price," or GARP, investment opportunity. He pointed to Berkshire Hathaway's decision to significantly increase its position in Delta, following its earlier exit during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Holmes, Berkshire increased its ownership stake by approximately 44% to about 8.7%. Despite airline ticket prices rising roughly 17% year over year, Holmes said business travel demand has remained resilient, suggesting that higher fares have not yet materially weakened corporate travel activity. From a valuation perspective, Holmes believes airline stocks remain relatively inexpensive compared with the broader market. He noted that airlines are trading at approximately one-third of the price-to-earnings multiples of S&P 500 companies, potentially leaving room for positive earnings surprises and further share-price appreciation. Holmes also discussed the relationship between oil prices and airline stocks, highlighting a pattern he has observed in the market. When crude oil prices rise above their 50-day moving average, airline shares often come under pressure because of higher fuel costs. Conversely, when oil prices fall back below the 50-day average, airline stocks have historically tended to strengthen and reach new highs. The strength of the travel recovery is also evident internationally. Holmes said Europe is capturing roughly one-third of global leisure travel spending this summer, creating significant economic benefits for luxury retailers, restaurants and hospitality businesses across Southern Europe. Meanwhile, CoStar data through early August continues to show another strong year-over-year performance for the U.S. hotel industry, reinforcing Holmes' view that travel remains a powerful component of the global consumer economy. Overall, Holmes believes the combination of resilient corporate travel, strong leisure demand, improving year-round travel patterns and relatively low airline valuations could continue to create opportunities for investors across the travel and hospitality sectors. #proactiveinvestors #usglobalinvestorsinc #nasdaq #TravelETFs #TRIPETF #FrankHolmes #USGlobalInvestors #AirlineStocks #CruiseStocks TravelIndustry #Airlines #Tourism #TripETF #Investing #Hospitality #TravelStocks #MarketOutlook
