Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Adam Levine-Weinberg]

  Among the many passengers flying Delta last year, one may have escaped notice: top competitor United Continental (NYSE: UAL  ) . United, which has performed far worse than Delta recently -- it earned an adjusted profit of just $589 million in 2012 despite being similar in size to Delta -- has nevertheless managed to ride Delta's coattails to stock greatness in the last six months.

  2013 proved to be a very strong year for the airlines, trading up 57.6%. Our 2013 thesis of capacity discipline, last major airline merger and the beginnings of capital deployment announcements played out in line with expectations. We expect 2014 to be a strong year for the group, as the airlines have really only benefited from merger
  announcements rather than merger synergies. We expect [United Continental (UAL)] and American to continue rationalizing capacity, helping with the pricing environment. United will announce their return of capital plans in late 2014 to be executed in 2015, while Delta will announce further capital deployments at their annual meeting in June.

  On Monday, United Continental (UAL) announced that Cleveland would no longer be us! ed as a hub. Imperial Capital’s Bob McAdoo and Scott Buckexplain what United Continental stands to gain–and why it could be good news for American Airlines (AAL) and Delta Air Lines (DAL), too:

  Associated Press

  We view the reduction in service at Cleveland as an important step in closing [United Continental's] performance gap with industry leader Delta Air Lines. While there remains significant work to do, we believe the 4Q13 results highlighted the progress that United has already made…

  We believe both American Airlines Group and Delta Air Lines will also be beneficiaries of this change in Cleveland. Passengers from cities that are losing regional connecting service through Cleveland will now be required to connect through other airports including hubs operated by both American Airlines and Delta. These connections could include Atlanta and Charlotte to the south, Chicago or Minneapolis to the west and Philadelphia to the east. As a result, we expect both American Airlines and Delta to benefit somewhat from incremental traffic driven by Uniteds Cleveland reduction.

  Shares of United Continental have dropped 1% to $43.53 at 3:11 p.m., while American Airlines has fallen 1.2% to $33.66 and Delta Air Lines has declined 0.1% to $29.92.
