La guerra dei dazi scatenata da Donald Trump getta la crescita globale sotto il 3%: secondo le previsioni appena rilasciate dal Fondo monetario internazionale. Una correzione cumulativa dello 0,8% nel biennio, rispetto a un passo già mediocre, che ora scende ancora di più sotto la media storica (2000-19) del 3,7%. Nel passato recente, due volte la crescita mondiale si è fermata sotto il 3%: nel 2008 e nel 2019, in entrambi i casi, l anno successivo c è stata una recessione. Per l Italia, si passa da una crescita del Pil dello 0,7% nel 2024 a una dello 0,4% nel 2025, con taglio delle stime dello 0,3%. Nel 2025 il Pil mondiale si fermerà al 2,8%, per tornare al 3% nel 2026, con una correzione al ribasso dello 0,8% nel biennio. Per gli Stati Uniti crescita all 1,8%, quasi un punto in meno rispetto alle previsioni di gennaio e al dato del 2024. Messico in recessione. Correzione al ribasso dello 0,6% per la Cina e dello 0,2% per l Eurozona. Per l Italia, si passa da una crescita del Pil dello 0,7% nel 2024 a una dello 0,4% nel 2025, con taglio delle stime dello 0,3%. Il commento è di Mario Deaglio, professore emerito di Economia internazionale.Nuovo schiaffo di Pechino, i Boeing rispediti negli UsaLa guerra commerciale fra Stati Uniti e Cina colpisce pesantemente anche il mercato dell aviazione. Le compagnie aeree cinesi hanno iniziato a rimandare indietro - cioè negli Stati Uniti - alcuni aerei Boeing. Sabato scorso, un 737 Max è atterrato a Seattle, presso l hub del costruttore americano, secondo l agenzia Reuters. Il tutto mentre le tre principali compagnie aree cinesi (Air China, China Eastern Airlines e China Southern Airlines) avrebbero messo in dubbio gli ordini attuali (179 velivoli).Il rientro sarebbe il primo segnale concreto dopo che Pechino ha imposto alle sue compagnie di non accettare ulteriori consegne di aerei Boeing, in risposta all inasprimento dei dazi statunitensi saliti fino al 145% sull import di beni cinesi. (Pechino ad oggi ha risposto con contro-dazio del 125% sul made in Usa e restrizioni a business americani). Interviene Alessandro Plateroti. direttore Newsmondo.itTrump attacca la Fed e il dollaro ne risenteWall Street tenta un rimbalzo dopo la paura di ieri (i listini Usa arrivano a perdere oltre il 3%, il biglietto verde scende ai minimi da marzo 2022, oro oltre i 3.400 dollari). Gli indici Usa si muovono così in territorio positivo, dopo la chiusura molto negativa della vigilia, causata dalle aspre critiche di Donald Trump al presidente della Fed Jerome Powell, accusato di non aver tagliato i tassi di interesse. Una mossa che secondo l inquilino della Casa Bianca sta minando la stabilità dell economia del Paese e per questo sta lavorando per un eventuale licenziamento del presidente della Federal Reserve. Resta comunque alta l incertezza con gli investitori che temono che i dazi e l'escalation della guerra commerciale con la Cina possano riaccendere la pressione inflazionistica e far precipitare l'economia statunitense in recessione.Ieri Trump è tornato ad affondare il coltello, con due affermazioni sul social network Truth molto forti: l inflazione a suo avviso «virtulamente» non esiste e se l economia Usa rallenta la colpa - scrive in sostanza il presidente - sarebbe della Fed che non taglia i tassi. Poi ha definito Powell «un perdente». «A loser». Lo scontro, insomma, è sempre più infuocato. Ne parliamo con Morya Longo, Il Sole 24 Ore.

El presidente Xi Jinping ha asestado un duro golpe a la empresa estadounidense Boeing al ordenar a las aerolíneas chinas cancelar todos los pedidos de aviones que habían realizado. Con esta medida, el fabricante de aviones se ha convertido en un daño colateral en el enfrentamiento comercial y arancelario entre Estados Unidos y China. El impacto de esta medida punitiva contra Boeing ha sido inmediato: sus acciones han caído un 3% antes de la apertura de Wall Street. Esta decisión no podría haber llegado en peor momento para el mayor exportador del país. Boeing ha atravesado años difíciles, marcados por varios accidentes y cuestionamientos recurrentes sobre la prioridad que otorga a la seguridad frente a la rentabilidad.Sin el mercado chino, Boeing podría perder 2.500 millones de dólares. Las aerolíneas de bandera chinas Air China, China Eastern y China Southern habían previsto la compra de 179 aviones entre 2025 y 2027, según informa nuestra corresponsal en Pekín, Cléa Broadhurst. Además, el Gobierno chino ha extendido la restricción a cualquier compra de equipos y piezas para aeronaves a empresas estadounidenses.'China estaría construyendo y reforzando alianzas para ganar poder de negociación frente a Estados Unidos' El presidente Xi Jinping se encuentra actualmente realizando una gira por tres países del sudeste asiático: Vietnam, Malasia y Camboya. Esta visita se produce en medio de la escalada de la guerra comercial que enfrenta a China con Estados Unidos.Jorge Malena, Director del Comité de Asuntos Asiáticos y de la Especialización en Estudios sobre China en la Era Global en la Universidad Católica Argentina, resalta la importancia estratégica de esta gira. 'China estaría construyendo y reforzando alianzas para ganar poder de negociación frente a Estados Unidos, especialmente en un momento en que la relación bilateral atraviesa un período de pronunciada competencia, no solo económica, sino también tecnológica y geopolítica'.El especialista advierte que estas alianzas se extienden a otros países asiáticos.'China también está reforzando lazos con Tailandia, Laos e Indonesia. Estas alianzas desarrollarán rutas comerciales que, a mi entender, afectarían el frente diplomático proestadounidense dentro de la propia Asociación de Naciones del Sudeste Asiático'.Sin embargo, la importancia económica y comercial de los tratados que se concreten durante la gira no puede reemplazar los intercambios comerciales que China mantiene con Estados Unidos. Antonio Sanchez, Director de la Cátedra de Economía y Sociedad de la Comunidad Valenciana, explica que se trata de mercados con características muy diferentes.'La zona de Asia oriental estaba desintegrada y China con el crecimiento económico ha conseguido una integración basada en el rol que desempeñaba como "país fábrica" y, gracias a este impulso, continúa desarrollándose en términos productivos'. 'La Union Europea y Estados Unidos, dos grandes mercados consumidores, podrían  ser parcialmente sustituidos por países de Asia Oriental, pero solo dentro de la estrategia de Xi Jinping de desarrollar el mercado consumidor interno chino'El especialista destaca la diferencia entre los mercados consumidores y los mercados productores. 'Tradicionalmente, Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea han sido los principales mercados consumidores. Sin embargo, esta situación podría cambiar en gran medida debido a la crisis económica de 2008, que ha dejado a la Unión Europea en muy mal estado, hundiendo a sus clases medias y reduciendo su poder adquisitivo'.'En el caso de Estados Unidos, los aranceles podrían disminuir su consumo. En este sentido, estos dos grandes mercados consumidores podrían verse alterados y ser parcialmente sustituidos por países de Asia Oriental, dentro de la estrategia de Xi Jinping de desarrollar el mercado consumidor interno chino', precisa el especialista.Aunque el presidente Trump ha dejado en pausa gran parte de sus medidas arancelarias, si decide mantenerlas, sería un golpe muy duro para países como Vietnam y Camboya, cuyo ingreso medio anual es de aproximadamente 2.200 euros y cuyas importaciones hacia Estados Unidos representan alrededor del 30 % de su Producto Interno Bruto (PIB).

Passenger traffic surged 17% YoY, lifting revenue per seat. Since January, the stock has gained 25%, delivering a 58% annual return—far outpacing the Nifty 50. However, its valuation of 9.5x earnings exceeds global airline peers like Air China (8.8x) and the industry average (5.5x). IndiGo plans to expand international capacity from 28% to 40% by 2030, adding one aircraft per week and cutting grounded planes. Despite strong fundamentals, analysts warn the upside is limited, with Motilal Oswal and Nuvama setting target prices below its current ₹5,097 level. Eli Lilly Brings Mounjaro to India Eli Lilly has launched Mounjaro, its diabetes and weight-loss drug, in India after securing regulatory approval. With over 101 million diabetes cases and rising obesity, India is a key market for the pharma giant. Already sold in the UK and Europe under the same name and as Zepbound in the U.S., Mounjaro is expected to tap into a global obesity drug market projected to reach $150 billion annually by the 2030s. CEO David Ricks had hinted at a 2025 India launch, and now it's a reality. Accenture's Warning Spells Trouble for IT Sector Accenture flagged macroeconomic uncertainty in the U.S., citing weaker earnings and federal contract delays under the Trump administration. The IT giant's Q2 revenue fell 5.8% sequentially to $16.66 billion but grew 5.4% YoY. Its Q3 revenue outlook remains between $16.9 billion and $17.5 billion, with full-year growth guidance capped at 7%. For Indian IT majors like TCS, Infosys, and Wipro, this signals headwinds, as analysts predict slower growth for India's $283-billion IT sector in FY26 due to high interest rates and geopolitical risks. However, AI offers a bright spot—Accenture secured $1.4 billion in Gen AI bookings last quarter, with total AI-related orders hitting $5.6 billion since September 2023. The Corporate Rebranding Wave: More Than Just a Name Change? Following Zomato's shift to Eternal, CK Birla Group's HIL Ltd has rebranded as BirlaNu Ltd, while Hindalco has also refreshed its identity. Experts say rebranding reflects strategic shifts, next-gen leadership, and market differentiation. Over 1,100 Indian companies have changed names in the past two decades, with BFSI, real estate, and IT leading the trend. A third of newly listed companies rebrand within five years of their IPO, highlighting competitive pressures. But does it impact stock prices? Not necessarily—PwC's Raghav Narsalay notes that unless tied to a major business shift, investor reactions remain muted. India Approves ₹54,000 Crore Defence Boost India has cleared a massive military upgrade, approving key acquisitions for the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Highlights include: • Air Force: Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) aircraft to enhance aerial surveillance. • Army: Upgraded 1,350-HP engines for T-90 tanks, improving mobility in high-altitude regions. • Navy: Indigenously developed Varunastra torpedoes for anti-submarine warfare. The Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), led by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, also announced measures to speed up procurement as part of the government's “Year of Reforms” initiative. These moves reinforce India's focus on military modernization and operational readiness.

Las reservas de hoteles para los próximos meses en España han crecido un 20% en comparación con el año pasado, impulsadas principalmente por el turismo internacional, que representa el 70% del total, según datos de Siteminder, lo que confirma que el turismo se mantiene a buen ritmo una vez comenzado septiembre. Los viajeros visitan hoy en promedio 277 sitios web antes de reservar un viaje, frente a los 38 sitios de 2013, según datos de Expedia. Este aumento refleja el creciente tiempo y esfuerzo que se dedica a la planificación de viajes en un contexto de presión por optimizar estos recursos. La Comisión Nacional de los Mercados de Valores (CNMV) ha dado su conformidad a la decisión del grupo húngaro Ganz-Mavag Europe (Magyar Vagon) de desistir de la Oferta Pública de Adquisición (OPA) de acciones que lanzó para adquirir del 100% del capital de Talgo. El consejero de Turismo y Andalucía Exterior, Arturo Bernal, ha anunciado que Air China está considerando ofrecer tres vuelos semanales durante todo el año entre Andalucía y las ciudades de Shanghái y Pekín. Los viajeros con alto poder adquisitivo, aquellos con ingresos anuales de 150.000 dólares o más, destinan el 46% de su gasto total en restaurantes, actividades, atracciones y otras experiencias en el destino. Según el informe "The Affluent Experiences Traveler" de Arival, las experiencias juegan un papel clave en la elección del destino para estos viajeros de todas las edades. El turoperador Mundiplan ha anunciado el inicio de las ventas de su programa de turismo senior alternativo al Imserso, cuya comercialización comenzará el próximo 12 de septiembre en todas las comunidades, con más de 100.000 plazas en destinos nacionales e internacionales. La aerolínea Level ha programado 277.588 asientos para la temporada de invierno entre Barcelona y América, sumando un destino más que el año anterior.

La decisión del Consejo de Ministros impide que el inversor continúe con su Oferta Pública de Adquisición (OPA) para adquirir el 100% de la compañía.

Air China, one of the country's major airline companies, plans to schedule more international flights during the upcoming summer travel rush to cater to passengers' needs and facilitate China's global civil aviation market.中国国际航空公司是中国主要航空公司之一，预计将为夏季旅游高峰期安排更多国际航班，以满足乘客需求并促进全球民航市场。According to the company, the airline will launch new routes such as Beijing to Dhaka, capital of Bangladesh, Chengdu to Milan, and resume the Shanghai to Barcelona route. Additionally, it will increase the frequency of flights on 13 international routes, including Beijing to Copenhagen and Chengdu to Singapore.据国航称，将开通北京至孟加拉国首都达卡、成都至米兰等新航线，并恢复上海至巴塞罗那航线。此外，将新增13条国际航线的航班量，包括北京到哥本哈根及成都到新加坡。By doing so, Air China's international and regional flight network will be restored to over 90 percent of the level in 2019, totaling 114 routes connecting 43 countries and regions across the world.中国航空国际和地区航线网将恢复到2019年水平的90%以上，共计114条航线，连接全球43个国家和地区。In addition, through collaboration with member airlines of the Star Alliance, the airline will expand its route network to nearly 1,200 destinations worldwide.通过与星空联盟组织成员的合作，国航将把航线网络扩展到全球近1200个目的地。To facilitate the Belt and Road Initiative, Air China has opened 61 routes to countries and regions involved in the BRI, connecting 36 cities in 28 countries. The number of these flights accounts for 60 percent of the total international flight volume.为推动“一带一路”倡议，国航开通了61条通往“一带一路”沿线国家和地区的航线，连接28个国家的36个城市，航班数量占国际航班总量的60%。Notably, the company is a significant carrier between China and Europe, holding a market share of over 28 percent.

Asia correspondent Per Elinder Liljas speaks to Lisa Owen about Elon Musk snubbing India but still visiting China, Air China's massive order of planes from a state-owned manufacturer and Japanese authorities blocking a picturesque view of Mount Fuji because of unruly tourists.

Episode Notes One of China's largest airlines, China Southern, is buying 100 domestically-built planes – the C919, produced by the state-owned Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC). The plane is considered an emerging competitor to Airbus' A320 and the Boeing 737. And Airlines Editor Gordon Smith examines if other airlines will look to buy these Chinese-built aircraft. Just last week, Air China signed a similar agreement with COMAC for 100 C919 jets. The bigger question is if international carriers will be tempted to buy.  Christian Scherer, the CEO of Airbus' commercial aircraft division, has said the C919 “isn't going to rock the boat.” However, one Boeing executive said the planemaker is factoring in competition from the C919 in its long-term forecast.  Next, TUI CEO Sebastian Ebel believes recent protests in the Canary Islands against mass tourism aren't about the industry itself. He says residents are angry about a shortage of housing, writes Travel Experiences Reporter Jesse Chase-Lubitz.  Protestors are calling on authorities to limit tourist arrivals to ease pressure on the environment, infrastructure and housing supply. Chase-Lubitz notes many Canary Islands residents argue that mass tourism is pricing them out of their homes.  However, Ebel said the unregulated online booking platforms are the reason housing prices have gone up — not tourism as a whole. Ebel blamed individual trips, which include people booking local apartments, for causing more housing to be offered as holiday accommodation.   Finally, columnist Colin Nagy argues the ideals of luxury hospitality have been distorted so much that guests are struggling to understand reality: Great properties don't get the attention they deserve, and others serve up superficial goods but fail to deliver. He looks at the problems and suggests ways to fix them.  Nagy cites the decline of travel media as one area of concern, noting he believes thoughtful, unbiased commentary on hotels is disappearing. He lists writers and publications worth reading. Nagy also writes that luxury offerings all look the same, and urges readers to support brands carving out unique spaces.   Producer/Presenter: Jose Marmolejos

  Risky Business in Rising China w/ Mark Atkeson AZ TRT S05 EP06 (221) 2-11-2024  What We Learned This Week Mark worked in many industries in China - Aircrafts, EV Cars, Mobile Phones, Internet Co. & Aircraft Parts Mark first worked in Japan w/ Sony, China must be careful, not to repeat Japan‘s Lost Decade of 1990s China has a lots of investment in EV Car & Solar Market US v China Rivalry is not dying down, two most important Tech countries, who must learn to co-exist   Guest: Mark Atkeson   Mark Atkeson is an international business leader, investor, entrepreneur, and author. A foremost expert on doing business in China, Mark managed, partnered in or provided services to Chinese-based companies for more than three decades in industries ranging from machine tools to aircraft engines, automotive manufacturing, mobile technology, startup venture investing, and aviation asset trading. Most recently, Mark wrote and released Risky Business in Rising China: Deals, Ordeals and Lessons Learned as an American Entrepreneur in a Surging Superpower Grappling with Growing Pains, chronicling his real-life experiences managing joint ventures and startup companies in China.          Now living in California, Mark continues participating in the Chinese economy as founder and managing partner of China Aviation Partners LLC, which provides software services, market research and other consulting for China-related businesses. Mark is a graduate of Yale University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with master's degrees in Electrical Engineering and Business Administration.   For more than 30 years, American entrepreneur Mark Atkeson found himself in the trenches of the Chinese economy managing joint ventures and startup companies.   His new memoir, RISKY BUSINESS IN RISING CHINA: Deals, Ordeals and Lessons Learned as an American Entrepreneur in a Surging Superpower Grappling with Growing Pains, chronicles Atkeson's real-life experiences as the world's most populous nation transformed itself into a global economic and military superpower.   Over his three-decade career, Atkeson worked across a variety of industries ranging from aircraft maintenance to electric-vehicle production, mobile internet to venture capital. In addition to Atkeson's behind-the-scenes business dealings with entrepreneurs and government officials, the book offers an unprecedented glimpse into Chinese society, its economy and its governance into the near and distant future.   RISKY BUSINESS IN RISING CHINA has received high praise from readers.   Here's what people are saying:   “Atkeson is a talented storyteller whose diverse and adventurous China business career winds along the path of China's progress and setbacks.” – James McGregor, American author, journalist and businessman, and three-decade resident of China   “Mark Atkeson's China business memoir recounts his peripatetic career from the early days of the Open Door Policy to the Modern China of 2023 in an honest, humorous and detailed way. This book will be valuable for anyone seeking to understand the often messy ‘inside story' of China's rise in the late 20th Century, and the role that foreign managers and investors played in the process.” – David G. Brooks, former chairman, Coca-Cola Greater China and Korea   “If you want to understand today's China, and the forces changing it, you need to read Atkeson's book.” – John Clasen, former director of China business development, Magellan Aviation Group       Notes:   Seg 1   Marc worked in China from the late 1980s to just after 2010. He saw the country go through their reform phase, and then capitalist rise. For nearly 20 years the political ideology took a backseat to market forces. An astounding 800 million people came out of poverty.   Mark worked with lots of companies in his career, dealing in venture capital, mobile phones, Internet, companies, EV cars, machines, and aircraft.   China is the 2nd most advanced nation in the world in technology, behind the US. Chinese Internet company TikTok is just one example of the Chinese advancement in AI and tech.   Products that people use on an average day usually have some connection to China, like manufacturing. Giant US corporations like Walmart, Amazon and Apple are all very dependent on China. China is the 2nd largest economy in the world.   The modernization of China was like a tidal wave from the 1970s to the early 2000s a 30+ year run. It seems though that in 2023 we've seen the crust of the wave with China slowing down. GDP in China is no longer 10% a year but more like 2 to 5%. Both property and consumer sales are down.   China has a middle class of 400 million people and most of their net worth is in their real estate. Real estate has been down in China the last few years, so millions of people have taken a hit.   Mark worked in Japan for Sony Corp. from 1988 to 1989. Japan in the 1980s was the rising superpower to challenge the US. It was number 1 in growth. Then in 1990, the dual economic bubble burst (stock mkt & real estate) in Japan and they entered their lost decade.   It took 30 years for the real estate in stock market to get back to the 1989 levels. China may be facing some of the similar problems of Japan, dealing with too much growth, leverage, debt, and possibly demographics. China will need decades to de-leverage from their current debt situation.       Seg 2   Mark's grandfather was stationed in China in the late 1930s. This was during the start of the conflict with Japan and pre-World War II. Mark‘s father worked in Far East banking circa 1970s – 19080s.   Mark actually took Chinese in college. In 1982 he took his first trip to China. He remembers the country being poor with small buildings and very few cars. During the 1980s foreign businesses were investing more in China.   In the early 1990s, Mark got his first job in China working the aircraft industry. They were maintaining airplanes for a Chinese airline. Regulations were lax and implementation was lacking. He ran a factory in China in the Szechuan province.   They installed the Toyota production system, for more efficiency, collaboration, built and grew the factory. Factory dealt with diesel and fuel.   Unfortunately, corruption and theft mafia style was very common. Example of the corruption was the sales force would take bribes. This was a state owned auto group and corruption. Scams were not uncommon in the business world in communist type countries.     Seg 3   In 2001, Mark got involved in a venture capital company. He was being replaced by the local population and younger managers to run the factories he had built up. He decided it was time to transition to a new industry.   Him and some partners created an investment fund. They were investing in products in mobile tech and the Internet. He could see the upcoming Internet business on phones which were very popular in China.   Consumer products like payments, info services and entertainment. The idea was to build an incubator - set up to invest in Chinese entrepreneurs. Then raise Series A funding and strategic buyers over the long term for an exit.   They were paying 8 Chinese engineers for 12 months in an angel investing deal for just $100,000. It was a Portfolio of 10 businesses, involved in things like gaming and payments.   Result: 8 out of 10 of the businesses return 0%, 1 did OK, and 1 was a home run. The home run company made a deal with China mobile for an exit and sale to a NASDAQ listed company in 2007.   After that he represented US companies that acquired Chinese Internet businesses and Mark was a liaison to the US company in China.   Mark actually worked in Internet entertainment. They put on a singing contest which acquired 800 million votes from audiences with cell phone text voting. At the time, this was a major example of democracy - voting through Phone. This was regulated out of existence.       Seg 4   BYD EV car company was a mobile phone company and supplied to Apple. China makes good low-cost cars and has a lot of electric vehicle development. In 2008 Tesla was building electric vehicles, when oil was priced at $140 a barrel.   Circle back to US with US engineers going to China to build the EV cars. Design was localized in China. EV cars has 3 challenges – tech, then US safety requirements, then fit & finish of the car. Produce cars in China and then sell in California.   2012 was the end of the road for Mark working in China. He was working in Hong Kong with an AR financing leasing and appraisals type airline business. They would buy an old A23 or A3 aircraft, disassemble and sell the parts.   It was like a high-end junkyard business. These were Chinese aircraft models. Mark connected with a company in Florida, who had a business partner in Air China. They moved on to buy 747 and disassemble them in the Chinese Beijing airport. Now Mark' career came full circle in Aircrafts, with salvaging aircraft 20 years later.   What is the future of China? US v China rivalry not dying down. They are the two most important tech innovators on AI batteries and solar and must figure out how to coexist. Tesla makes more cars in China versus the US. They have a big factory in Shanghai. Apple outsources to China in their supply chain.   Chinese economy has slowed from 10% growth per year to 3%. China may not be 10 feet anymore but it's still 6 foot four.   The Chinese private economy and services could ultimately come to the US. BYD EV car company as an example, that could become the face of a Chinese company in the US.   BYD US - https://www.byd.com/us     Business Topic: HERE   Investing Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/investing More - BRT Best of: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+Of   Thanks for Listening.

The number of direct flights between China and the United States will be further increased next month as a result of positive steps made by both sides to promote an orderly recovery of international passenger travel.The US Department of Transportation said on Friday that Chinese airlines could make 35 roundtrip flights to the US a week, up from 24, starting Nov 9.The number will be equal to the number China will allow for US airlines. In total, Chinese and US carriers will be allowed to operate 70 weekly round-trip flights from Nov 9.Seven Chinese airlines will operate the flights: Air China, Beijing Capital, China Eastern, China Southern, Hainan, Sichuan and Xiamen airlines, according to an order amendment released by the US Department of Transportation on Friday.According to the amendment, the goal is to improve the environment for airline companies from China and the US to maintain "a competitive balance and fair and equal opportunity".The US will continue ongoing and productive dialogue with the Civil Aviation Administration of China to facilitate a gradual, broader reopening of the air service market between both countries, the document said.Also on Friday, Liang Nan, director of the transport department of the CAAC, said, "The administration will continue to encourage and support Chinese and foreign airlines to resume international passenger flights, improving the international route network and supporting people movements between China and foreign countries to ensure stable foreign trade and investment."The new winter and spring civil aviation season in China started on Sunday and will end on March 30. During the season, China's international flights are expected to return to 70 percent of the volume seen in 2019, Liang said.She said that 13,004 international flights involving 65 countries are planned every week during the season, but the number between China and the US has not yet been released.Due to the pandemic, international flights to and from China were greatly reduced. In March 2020, China introduced the "circuit breaker" policy — suspending flights operated by an airline for two weeks if five or more passengers tested positive for COVID-19 upon landing in China, or for four weeks if 10 or more passengers tested positive.Only a very small number of international passenger flights continued to operate during the pandemic. Data from the CAAC showed that in August 2021, the number of flights to and from China was about 2.15 percent of the volume recorded in 2019.The number of international flights has risen gradually since January, after China optimized its response measures to COVID-19 and promoted the resumption of cross-border air travel.From Oct 16 to 22, a total of 7,750 international passenger flights operated, about 51 percent of the volume before the pandemic. Those flights involved 61 countries, according to the administration.Although the international civil aviation market has recovered well, China-US air service is far from fully resumed.In 2019, more than 300 round trips were operated every week between China and the US, according to Lin Zhijie, a civil aviation industry analyst.After the increase next month, the number of China-US flights will be about 25 percent compared with the volume in 2019, he said.The volume of flights affects prices. According to Orbitz, a global travel planning website, the cheapest price ticket from Shanghai to San Francisco in November is about $620.The lowest ticket price for the end of this month is around $890, as of Sunday morning."Restricted by the number of flights, the ticket price between China and the US is still high, with about 10,000 yuan ($1,366) for a one-way ticket. The operation of more flights from 48 to 70 per week can help lower ticket prices," Lin said.There are two key factors in promoting the recovery of passenger travel between China and the US — an increase in the number of flights and visa issuances, according to Lin."It still takes quite long, about two to four months, to get a visa. As the number of flights has gradually recovered, the visa problem has become a bottleneck that needs to be solved," he said."At present, the resumption of flights between China and the US has released positive signals, and it can indeed alleviate the problem of insufficient flight capacity and high fares, but the recovery in the future is still uncertain," Lin said.Reporter: Luo Wangshu

The NOTAM outage and subsequent ground stop, why Amazon Air is selling cargo capacity, the runway incursion at JFK, the Airbus automated emergency diversion system, and an Australia News Desk report. Aviation News Here's the latest on the NOTAM outage that caused flight delays and cancellations On January 11, 2023, the Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system failed and the FAA issued a domestic ground stop, leading to thousands of delayed and canceled flights. A corrupt database file has been cited as the cause of the failure. NAV CANADA reported issues with their NOTAM system on the same day. At the time, they did not believe the Canadian outage was related to the FAA outage. See FAA's NOTAM computer outage affected military flights.

Topic: Airlines targeting post-pandemic ‘revenge travel'   The blow caused to the airline industry by the COVID-19 pandemic has been especially felt by budget airlines, which mostly operate narrow-bodied passenger jets and have therefore been unable to develop a sideline in air freight during the pandemic. According to one academic's analysis, when the outbreak stabilizes, businesses are targeting a trend in so-called “revenge travel.” However, she also hopes that, rather than the pre-pandemic price wars between budget airlines, the consolidation that has taken place during the pandemic will restore healthy competition in the industry. 疫情衝擊航空界，其中廉航受限於機隊多為窄體客機，無法發展貨運，受疫情衝擊更大。學者分析，業者瞄準疫情穩定後的「報復性出遊」，但也希望疫情前廉航削價競爭的情況，能因疫情重整，回歸良性競爭。 According to associate professor Melody Dai of National Cheng Kung University's Department of Transportation and Communication Management Science, costs per flight have not changed during the pandemic, but if carriers are required to implement social-distancing seating plans, leaving empty seats between passengers, this would eat into airlines' profit margins, causing a fresh headache for the industry. Dai says she hopes that budget airlines will manage to survive, since they help stimulate Taiwan's domestic tourism sector as well as the wider economy. 成大交通管理學系副教授戴佐敏說，每航班成本不變、但座位未來若須採間隔座導致收入減少，確實是疫後的難題，希望廉航仍有生存空間，對促進觀光與經濟有正面幫助。 Dai says that choosing to operate flights during the pandemic is a test of airlines' ability to sustain losses, but the crisis may also prove to be a turnaround for the industry. Dai says there are many variables to the pandemic. She says that once the outbreak stabilizes, if the demand for “revenge travel” exceeds supply, this could resolve the pre-pandemic situation of supply exceeding demand, which led to price wars among budget airlines. The consolidation that the pandemic has triggered within the airline industry could bring about a return to healthy competition, says Dai. 戴佐敏認為，選擇在疫情期間開航，考驗航空公司「虧本」的能力，不過危機也有可能是轉機，疫情仍有變數，疫情穩定後的「報復性出遊」若需求大於供給，疫情前廉航供過於求、削價競爭的情況，這次可能因疫情重整，回歸良性競爭。 One industry insider stated that, despite the lockdowns and reduced number of travelers and flights during the pandemic, the industry is bullish about post-pandemic prospects for both freight and passenger travel in the flourishing Asian region. The insider added that a trend in “revenge travel” could cause short-haul routes to become particularly busy. 業者指出，雖然國境仍然封鎖，疫情期間每週班次不多，旅客也非常少，但看好疫情後亞洲旺盛的物流、人流，預估疫情趨緩後將出現「報復性出遊」，亞洲短程航線將會更繁忙。Source article: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang/archives/2021/09/12/2003764205   Next Article   Topic: Rebranding is beneficial to China Airlines. Here's why   台灣的立法院於7月22日表決通過建議將台灣最大的國際航空公司之一：「中華航空公司」 (China Airlines) 的英文名稱更名。這樣的提議，立即引發了各種疑問：這樣做的成本是否過高？中華航空公司是否會因此喪失航權？ Taiwan's Legislative Yuan voted on Wednesday to work towards renaming China Airlines, one of the national air carriers. Such a proposal immediately prompted various questions: Would doing so be prohibitively expensive? Would the airline lose aviation rights as a result of the act? 航空業的複雜程度超乎想像，故難以提供此細微議題絕對明確的答案。雖然，把台灣的國籍航空「中華航空公司China Airlines」更改英文名字，會有非常大的爭議，但讓我們暫時撇開政治上的兩極化角度，而從商業的角度分析，什麼才是對中華航空公司最有利的。 The airline industry is unimaginably complex, so there is no definite answer to such a nuanced topic. While the issue of renaming Taiwan's national airline is inherently controversial, let us move away from political polarization and analyze what is best for China Airlines, from a business perspective. 品牌重塑的成本 | The Cost of Rebranding 首先，如果中華航空公司想重塑品牌形象，彰顯其隸屬於台灣國籍航空的品牌辨識度，一定會產生相對的成本。 Firstly, if China Airlines were to rebrand itself to reflect a more Taiwanese identity, it is undeniable that the airline would incur costs. 這是因為航空公司的標誌無所不在：從登機櫃檯到貴賓室，甚至是乘客在機上所使用的餐巾紙上都能看見。因此，對於中華航空公司來說，重新彩繪噴漆飛機機身並全面重塑品牌，勢必需要投入相當的資金支出。 This is because airlines logos appear everywhere: from check-in counters, lounges, to even the napkins passengers use onboard. So yes, it would be a significant investment for China Airlines to repaint their planes to rebrand across their network. 但是，考量一家航空公司的將來的利潤及是否賺錢，未來營業收入成長的重要性，和考量成本支出，是一樣重要的。從長遠來看，如果航空公司能夠在未來吸引到比現在更多的乘客，這項品牌重塑計畫就值得。 However, an airline's profitability is as much determined by revenue than it is affected by costs. In the long term, if an airline is able to attract more customers than now, such rebranding efforts would pay off. 更改中華航空公司的英文名稱「China」可解決過往的一些問題。例如，許多英語系國家的人認為「China」一詞帶有負面含義，且他們聽到「China Airlines」時，也無法將其與台灣連結在一起。 Rebranding China Airlines could address previous issues. For example, many people in English-speaking countries believe the word “China” has negative connotations, and they don't associate the airline with Taiwan when they hear about “China” Airlines. 此外，中華航空 (China Airlines) 經常被與中國政府擁有的中國國際航空(Air China)混淆。近年來，因為名字上的混淆，全球大多數人無法區分這兩家航空公司。因此，與中國國際航空相關的飛安意外事故和客服事件，皆損害了台灣國籍航空公司的聲譽。 In addition, China Airlines is often confused with Air China, which is owned by the Chinese government. In recent years, safety and service incidents associated with Air China have damaged the Taiwanese airline's reputation, as the majority of the world simply cannot tell the two carriers apart, largely due to the confusing naming. 另一方面，中華航空的主要競爭對手「長榮航空」是一家提供高標準飛行安全和高品質服務的台灣國籍航空公司。如果中華航空的英文更名動作，能夠改善中華航空過去行銷上的困難，那麼英文更名所帶來的好處，可能遠超過潛在的成本。 On the other hand, CAL's main competitor, EVA Air, is well known as a Taiwanese company offering high standards of flight safety and service. If China Airlines can change a name that has made marketing difficult in the past, the benefits of rebranding could outweigh the potential costs. 航權 | Aviation Rights 從中華航空的角度來看，另一個令人關注的領域是航權。航權，意指賦予航空公司進入、飛越或降落在另一個國家領空的權利。 The second area of concern from China Airlines' perspective would be aviation rights, which grants airlines the privilege to enter, fly over, or land in another country's airspace. 航權對任何一家航空公司的運營都是極為重要的，是航空公司與監管機構經過數十年談判的結果。有些人表示，中華航空可能會因為英文名稱「China」的更名而失去這些權利，但其實非常重要的一點是，航空公司的形象更名並不需要包含更改其法定名稱。 Such rights, critical to any airline's operations, are as a result of decades of negotiations between airline companies and regulatory agencies. Some have indicated the possibility of China Airlines losing these rights because of a name change, but it is important to understand that rebranding does not have to include changing the legal name. 舉例而言，以阿姆斯特丹作為基地的歐洲大型航空公司是以 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines（荷蘭皇家航空）做為形象名稱，但此航空公司註冊的法定名稱則為Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij。 For instance, the major European airline based in Amsterdam is branded as KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, but the three letters KLM stand for its registered legal name, Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij. 以類似的方式，中華航空也許可以在英文名稱上更名為「CAL Formosa Airlines」，並同時維持其法定名稱「中華航空」，以避免損及航權。 In a similar fashion, China Airlines could perhaps rebrand as “CAL Formosa Airlines,” while retaining its formal name, to avoid compromising its aviation rights. 政治考量 | Political Considerations 最後，儘管航空公司傾向於不碰觸政治議題，但像中華航空這樣的公司也必須考慮維持其現有飛航市場，尤其是中國。 Finally, while airlines tend to stay out of politics, companies such as China Airlines also have to consider its ability to continue flying into existing markets, particularly China. 對於更改中華航空的英文名稱中的「China」字眼一事，持批評意見者表達了對可能激怒北京共產黨的擔憂，並推測中國政府將禁止中華航空飛入中國領空。 Critics of the idea to rename China Airlines have voiced concerns about angering the Communist Party in Beijing, and have speculated that the Chinese government would ban CAL from flying into Chinese airspace. 儘管這種情況確實是不利且不能被排除的，但中華航空可以選擇改成更具政治中立性的名稱來降低此風險。 While such a situation would indeed be unfavorable, and the possibility of occurrence cannot be ruled out, CAL could minimize risk by choosing a more politically neutral name. 例如，通過使用「Formosa」或「Taipei」等字眼，航空公司可以避開中國與台灣的爭議，並在最不具爭議的情況下繼續為現有的乘客提供服務。 For example, by utilizing words such as “Formosa” or “Taipei”, the airline could stay out of the Taiwan-China debate and continue serving its existing passengers with minimal controversy. 總結來說，即使不將中華航空的英文名稱China Airlines更改為「Taiwan Airlines」，該公司也可以通過將「China」從其英文名稱中刪除，來回應人們建議改名的聲音，並同時避免名字所引起的混淆和爭議。 At the end of the day, even without changing China Airlines' name to “Taiwan Airlines”, the company can respond to the voices of the people by removing “China” from its name and avoid confusion and controversy altogether.

The document said China is entitled to make laws and rules to regulate its cyberspace sovereignty following international practice.The law was passed in November 2016 at a bimonthly session of the National People&`&s Congress Standing Committee after a third reading.A regulation requiring Internet products and services that may affect national security to undergo a security review will go into effect on the same day as the cyber security law.Reviews focus on whether the products or services are secure and sufficiently managed, and on assessing the risk of illegal control, disruption or interruption.They also evaluate the risk of providers using their products or services to illegally gather, store, process or make use of user information.This is Special English.Chinese Premier Li Keqiang has called on Germany to help China-developed large passenger plane C919 get an airworthiness certificate from the European Union.Li made the call during his talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin. He was on an official visit to Germany for an annual meeting between the two heads of government, a mechanism that has been in place since 2004.The twin-engine C919 made its maiden flight on May 5 in Shanghai with five crew members on board but no passengers. The success makes China the fourth jumbo jet producer after the United States, Western Europe and Russia.With a standard range of 4,075 kilometers, the narrow-bodied jet is comparable with the updated Airbus 320 and Boeing&`&s new generation 737 planes, signaling the country&`&s entry into the global aviation market.China has taken pride in developing the homegrown jumbo jet, regarding it as a symbol of national strength.In 2007, the State Council approved plans to develop a large passenger jet. In November 2015, the first C919 jet rolled off the assembly line.

The threat has particularly worsened in pastures or grasslands; meadows are also under increasing pressure.The Federal Office for Nature Conservation has reported some positive developments in coastal regions as well as next to rivers and streams which are benefiting from restoration or environmental protection plans as well as better sewage treatment plants. However, figures are much less positive for groundwater due to high nitrogen pollution caused by fertilizers from intensive farming. Many stagnant water volumes are also affected.There are many types of natural habitats in Germany including 46 types of water environments and 20 types of arable and fallow arable land. This is Special English.A study on young female mice reveals how puberty hormones might trigger changes in neural communication in the frontal cortices and impede some aspects of flexible youthful learning.Scientists have found that the onset of puberty hits something like a "switch" in the brain&`&s frontal cortex that can reduce flexibility in some forms of learning.The study was led by Linda Wilbrecht, an associate professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of California, Berkeley, and the senior author of the study published in the journal Current Biology.The changes occurred in a region of the frontal brain that is associated with learning, attention and behavioral regulation.Overall, children have been found to have greater brain flexibility or "plasticity" than adults, enabling them to more easily master multiple languages and other elementary scholastic pursuits.While they continue to learn after puberty, their cognitive focus in adolescence is often redirected to peer relationships and more social learning.The study noted that if hormonal changes start as early as second or third grade, when children are tasked with learning basic skills, a shift in brain function could be problematic.Puberty onset is occurring earlier and earlier in girls in modern urban settings, driven by such factors as stress and the obesity epidemic, and has been associated with worse outcomes in terms of school and mental health.This is Special English.America&`&s first Nutella Cafe opened recently in downtown Chicago, with more than 400 customers lining up for their favorite treat.This is the first standalone Nutella Cafe owned by parent company Ferrero.

Is China's slowing economy taking its toll on the country's Big Three carriers? So far Air China, China Eastern and China Southern have held up well and posted a rather good 2015. But the fourth quarter of 2015 showed some signs of deterioration—even by the standards of this off-peak quarter. In the U.S., Alaska Airlines and Virgin America are, unlike a lot of mergers in the past, merging from a position of strength. But is that a good thing? Delta's upcoming first quarter earnings report will surely be terrific and begs the question: Does the U.S. airline industry have an off-peak quarter anymore? Air New Zealand has some shares of Virgin Australia they want to sell you, Air France/KLM is looking for a new CEO, and we finish the show with our first lightning round of 2016.
