Among suppliers, Embraer (+12.6%), which had previously suffered negative sentiment, appears to be moving back into favour, helped by a Goldman Sachs report which suggested that proposed staff cuts (opposed by the political leadership, at least publicly) were now likely to succeed in producing considerable improvements in productivity.
Aercap (+11.1%) shares also continued their upwards trajectory.
