1204 ET - Travel demand may be affected by an economic "soft patch," Deutsche Bank analysts say. Domestic leisure demand may be the most heavily impacted by any economic slowdown. "Some of this 'softness' could be a function of recent headlines which have not only increased consumer uncertainty, but could result in their hesitancy with respect to the purchase of goods and services (including airline tickets)," the analysts write. Big airlines like Delta, United and American are likely to fare the best as many of their customers are less price sensitive than those who rely on budget carriers, the analysts say.
