When buying stocks, investors traditionally look at the current financial results of a company, whether they are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/invest-in\/dividend-stocks\">paying any dividends to shareholders<\/a>, and what the firm\u2019s future stock market performance might be.<\/p><p>But with airlines, other factors to consider include passenger numbers, the proportion of flights they are operating where all the seats have been sold, and the cost of fuel \u2013 one of the big expenses for airlines.<\/p><div class=\"text-centre\"><a class=\"luna-button luna-button--large luna-button--primary scroll\" href=\"#compare\">Buy airline stocks<\/a><\/div><h3 id=\"etfs\">Investing in airline ETFs<\/h3><p>ETFs \u2013 or exchange traded funds \u2013 are another investment option worth considering.  In simple terms, ETFs are funds which own and \u201ctrack\u201d a variety of assets, including stocks in various companies. Buying into an ETF means you do not have to purchase individual shares in different companies yourself. More general information on this type of fund can be found in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/invest-in\/exchange-traded-funds-etfs\">Finder\u2019s guide to ETFs<\/a>. <\/p><p>Currently, the US Global Jets ETF (known as JETS) is the only ETF that exclusively tracks airlines stocks. But other larger funds, and ones which focus on the transport sector for example, will also include airline stocks.<\/p><div class=\"text-centre\"><a class=\"luna-button luna-button--large luna-button--primary scroll\" href=\"#howto\">Invest in airline ETFs<\/a><\/div><h3>Bottom line<\/h3><p>Make sure you\u2019re aware of the risks involved and that you do your research on individual airline stocks before you invest.
