Raymond James sees Delta Air Lines as the most favorably positioned among publicly traded U.S. carriers for fourth quarter 2026, based on short-term capacity and fare trends. JetBlue Airways ranks second, while Alaska Air Group and Allegiant Travel are the most negatively affected. Analysts expect slightly negative industrywide capacity trends relevant to competition, with potential cuts mainly at American Airlines, Frontier and United. Changes resulting from Spirit Airlines’ market exit are seen by Raymond James as mostly positive, especially for JetBlue, Frontier, Delta and Southwest. » Plus sur de.investing.com
