In this paper, the author implemented the Diebold and Yilmaz approach to analyse the connectedness between the major American and European publicly traded airline companies. The author calculated the return and volatility spillover index for the whole sample using a dynamic rolling sample analysis. The results show that all airlines are significantly linked but there is a clear division into two markets. It was found that return spillovers are more intensive than volatility spillovers. Moreover, the average connectedness level is higher in the U.S. market for returns as well as for volatility. An increase of connectedness occurred due to the certain events: issues linked with the condition of the global economy and long-term crude oil price changes.

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badania powiązań w świetle metody Diebolda i Yilmaza pomiędzy notowaniami najważniejszych linii lotniczych w Stanach Zjednoczonych i w Europie. Wyznaczono indeks powiązań dla dziennych zwrotów i zmienności dla całej próby oraz w ujęciu dynamicznym. Wyniki badania wskazują, że notowania wszystkich analizowanych linii lotniczych są ze sobą powiązane, ale istnieje wyraźny podział na dwa rynki. Powiązania między rynkiem europejskim a amerykańskim są znacznie słabsze niż efekty zarażania pomiędzy liniami lotniczymi z jednego rynku. Efekty zarażania są silniejsze dla zwrotów niż dla zmienności. Ponadto średni poziom indeksu powiązań jest wyższy w Stanach Zjednoczonych niż w Europie. Na zmiany poziomu powiązań w czasie miały wpływ wydarzenia z otoczenia makroekonomicznego i rynku kapitałowego oraz długotrwała zmiana poziomu ceny ropy naftowej.
