Sunny quarterly results from Delta Air Lines DAL -3.51%decrease; red down pointing triangle sent air carrier stocks soaring on Thursday.

The analysts are confident about the two carriers’ long-term performance, but think they have less near-term upside than some of their rivals.

This is called the carrier phase of the wave.

The losses forced the plan to assess its member carriers $1 billion to pay its claims, half of which could be recouped from the carriers’ own customers across the state.

The European plane maker has been working on modifying its A350, a large wide-body jet used on long-haul international flights, with the expectation cargo carriers might use such a system first.
