Airlines shares were unfazed by the forced landing of a Ryanair plane in the Belarusian capital Minsk on Sunday, which is causing a great stir in Europe. American Airlines and United Airlines each grew by around one percent.

However, since it was not clear what type this was, the joy of the Luminar shareholders quickly ebbed away again.
