Solution given by bartus11 is best option to use here, but if you are interested to know how to achieve this using echo, use \c option which will suppress trailing newline:-
Code:
#!/bin/bash
while read line
do
        echo -e "${line} \c" >> newfile
done < oldfile
echo -e "\n" >> newfile # put final newline

OR use sed:-
Code:
sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/ /g' oldfile > newfile
