The airline trade: 4 plays on 3 stocks

JetBlue Airways stock could gain ground as the carrier attempts an overseas expansion, some CNBC "Fast Money" traders said.

The company on Monday said it is looking into extending its network to South America and other places abroad with a long-range plane from Airbus. JetBlue closed Tuesday barely higher.
