Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) fell in early trading on Friday after the airline company reported revenue of $15.56 billion to top the consensus estimate by $1.08 billion. Earnings per share came in at $1.

If investors were questioning whether airline stocks could keep rallying, Delta Air Lines has provided an emphatic answer. The carrier’s fourth-quarter earnings and positive outlook for 2025 gave the sector’s stocks permission to take off again early Friday.

More than 200 Delta Air Lines passengers fled an aircraft using inflatable slides and four were injured after an engine problem caused takeoff to be aborted. At least five emergency slides were deployed as the passengers evacuated the Boeing 757-300 on the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport tarmac shortly after 9am on Friday.

The passenger accused of opening an emergency door on a JetBlue flight earlier this week has appeared in court, according to a report from 7 News Boston. Angel Luis Morales Torres was detained by authorities following the alleged incident and faced the court in Boston on January 8th, 2025, one day after the incident in question.

Venmo payment options are the latest announcement in a broader effort from JetBlue to enhance its services and boost profits. The struggling low-cost carrier has searched for new revenue streams as larger airlines introduce their own budget options, increasing competition for those flyers.

Shares of airline companies are moving higher in sympathy with Delta after the company posted strong 2024 fiscal-year fourth-quarter earnings.
