Bundesregierung verteuert Flugreisen für Bürger und schüttet Frittenfett ins Kerosin

Tichy:»Carsten Spohr, der Vorstandsvorsitzende der Lufthansa, platzte der Kragen. In der Bild-Zeitung sprach er am 12.10.24 Klartext: „Ich mache mir grosse Sorgen um die Anbindung unseres Wirtschaftsstandortes. Die extrem gestiegenen staatlichen Kosten im Luftverkehr führen weiter zu einem schrumpfenden Angebot.

European airlines urge EU to push for more green fuel

Several leading European airlines urged EU authorities to follow the US lead and push for increased green fuel production on Wednesday, according to Euractiv.

The European Union passed a law requiring airlines to start phasing in sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) on routes departing from EU airports last year as part of the fight against climate change. SAF is expected to account for 2 per cent of the total fuel mix from next year, 6 per cent in 2030, before rising sharply to 70 per cent from 2050.

Airlines for Europe (A4E) stated that SAF production in Europe was lagging behind projects launched in the US and supported by Washington’s sweeping Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) plan. Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr claimed:

In the US, the SAF production is highly incentivised. We need those solutions here in Europe.

Surviving The 2022 Travel Chaos

This summer the usual logic does not apply. Here’s how to handle the madness.

Late June, the Lufthansa Group Executive Board wrote a letter to its customers asking for understanding regarding the current chaos in aviation. CEO Carsten Spohr et al. apologized for the inconvenience of delays and cancellations, adding that the situation is unlikely to improve in the short term.

In 2023 the Lufthansa Group expects to have a much more reliable air transport system worldwide. We truly hope so. And until then The Sunday Coffee Club is here to help with this 8-Step guide to surviving this years travel chaos.

1. Be neurotically early

There was a time when you would arrive an hour before your flight and you’d still have enough time to browse through Duty Free, get a snack and read the papers. Back then Berliners had their beloved Tegel Airport, close to the city and easy to navigate. Sadly that’s in the past.

Now, with the BER being the only (!) (functioning) airport for a city of 3.6 million, one can imagine the chaos even without war in Ukraine, pandemic aftermath, staff shortage etc. It was bad from the get go. But don’t get me started on our airport.

Let’s face the truth here: You have to get to the airport earlier than you ever normally would - and check in online whenever possible. Traveling overseas? Try 3 hours earlier. If you can, now would be the moment to upgrade. Let your saved miles/points help you get in the lounge instead of reenacting The Terminal on a metal bench.

2. Keep luggage to a minimum

Whenever you think it’s doable: Go carry-on only. That moment when the belt stops and your bag hasn’t showed up: It’s a mood killer and you don’t want that on your first day of that much needed vacation. Sadly, with the general situation of airports right now, chances of suitcases disappearing are at an all-time high.

Maybe it’s time to invest into a high-quality carry-on. The Sunday Coffee Club looooves floyd.one, so look no further. In case you’re bringing a bag to check, throw an AirTag in there, it’s good for extra precaution, especially when you’re carrying valuables.

3. Use any delay to clear your inbox

After you’ve made it through security the waiting game begins. My routine: I browse through the perfume section (of course) at Duty Free before I get the papers and a bottle of water. Then I look for a well-lit spot with my gate in sight. 

Once I’m seated I try to clear my inbox from any unread mails and newsletters. I hate to begin my vacation knowing there are unread mails, messages and unchecked Safari bookmarks that want my attention.

Get a coffee, and tie up any loose ends before wheels up. Any other day, zero inbox may be a dream. Now is the time to get it.

4. Choose your reading material wisely

It does not matter if you prefer Kindle, iPad, an actual printed book, magazines and newspapers: As long as it distracts you from a crowded airport coffee shop, it’s worth bringing. I’m team printed books, but I would argue that a Kindle or an iPad go a long way when traveling.

Whatever you bring, don’t overdo it. Although we think we might have the time to read three books in one week, chances are high you will not even finish one book. But that’s fine. Don’t stress yourself.

5. Do your homework

If you’re someone who’s always had a more laissez-faire approach to holiday planning, a travel delay gives you a second chance to do some pre-trip research. 

As stated above: team print - which is why I love Wallpaper’s compact guides. They look nice, fit in every pouch or tote bag and offer a good overview of activities, sights, places to go and more. Get them at phaidon.com. 

Please, for the love of God, you’re never going to become fluent in Italian via Duolingo, but you might learn how to say hello, goodbye and “more gelato, please” in the hour or so you’re waiting for your flight.

6. Make a well-considered investment or two

Impusle Duty Free purchases can be a mistake. But, if the duty-free iteam is cheaper then its equivalent at home, maybe it is time you cop the Persol sunglasses or the Bottega handbag that has been sitting on top of your wishlist.

Google a little bit. Then, take full advantage. Nothing beats a good shopping-induced dopamine rush before boarding opens. 

7. Put your Netflix subscription to good use

In-flight entertainment is my go-to time killer on a long flight. If it’s mediocre, that’s a problem. Which is why I download some Netflix shows and films and I urge you to do the same.

Not sure what to watch? Start with any travel or food docuseries relevant to your holiday. It’s a great way to learn a little bit about culture, food and people. Not your cup of tea? Give Podcasts a try, either for information, learning, following the news or just to make you fall asleep easier. Whatever it is, download it, because you don’t want to rely on in-flight WiFi or an unstable WiFi connection at the gate.

8. Read the fine print – then read it again

Talk to friends and family regarding travel insurance, in chaotic times like these, it might be good idea to find a trusted company/partner that helps you out in case anything goes south. Then: Read every detail of the policy and make sure you understand it all. Not all insurances cover the same travel related disruptions. Having to pay for a hotel after a cancelled flight makes a shitty situation even shittier.

汉莎航空错过了收购ITA的第二个截止日期

汉莎航空错过了收购ITA的第二个截止日期

汉莎航空收购ITA会不会有什么影响？在4月底截止日期到期后，第二个截止日期也于昨天结束 - 没有达成协议。

尽管与意大利国有航空公司Ita Airways进行了艰难的谈判，但汉莎航空首席执行官Carsten Spohr仍然保持乐观 - 一方面关于德国航空公司进入ITA在意大利市场的地位，另一方面ITA承诺增长计划最终应该为汉莎航空带来高利润。一个令人厌烦的话题仍然是融资和必要的投资。现在���正如 airlines.de 宣布的那样，第二个截止日期也已于昨天，即5月12日过去。目前尚不清楚谈判将如何继续。

截止日期会第三次延长吗？ ITA和汉莎航空之间关于股东协议的谈判正在拖延。就在上周，汉莎航空集团执行董事会主席卡斯滕·斯波尔（Carsten Spohr）不得不在ITA进入的背景下，在虚拟年度股东大会上听取了一些批评。最重要的是，股东们正在向斯波尔施加压力，并且仍然对收购本身和2.5亿欧元的初始资本金额持怀疑态度。汉莎航空的许多人仍然不相信ITA的经济成功，这不仅是意大利国有航空公司承诺的，也是汉莎航空所期望的。

伊塔航空 最近，一次又一次的说法，谈判已经完成，目前只是因为“细节问题”而签订合同失败。然而，鉴于截止日期已经第二次到期，问题就出现了，有争议的详细问题到底有多小。关于融资和投资仍有悬而未决的问题——汉莎航空不想在这里完全孤军奋战，正在寻找更多的投资者。

目前，起重机将收购ITA股份的40%以上，股权出资2.5亿至3亿。作为 2026 年全面收购的一部分，该航空公司获得了良好的机会。前提是ITA航空公司在规定的两年内实现盈利。

待欧盟委员会批准 据 airliners.de 称，该合同正在保密，但国家和欧洲层面的竞争法审查仍在等待中。汉莎航空首席执行官卡斯滕·斯波尔（Carsten Spohr）也对ITA Airways即将实现的利润持乐观态度，即使股东在年度股东大会上不同意：

它在罗马和米兰拥有3，900名员工和70架飞机，定位非常高效。在签订采购协议并获得欧盟委员会的批准后，我们认为Ita作为我们集团的一部分的成功前景良好。

卡斯滕·斯波尔，汉莎航空集团首席执行官 目前尚不清楚何时设定另一个截止日期。意大利财政部的一份声明也仍然缺失。然而，可以肯定的是，汉莎航空的野心是彻底接管，但意大利政府不会轻易放弃拥有发言权的权利。

关于ITA截止日期届满的结论 汉莎航空仍然无法进入ITA-Airways。最近，人们一再表示，这笔交易已经准备就绪，只需要澄清几个细节问题。但是，在昨天第二个截止日期过去后，合同没有最终达成，问题出现了，即艰难的细节到底有多小。意大利尚未发表���论。由于汉莎航空仍希望投资，即将发布的声明可能包括第三个截止日期。我们仍然保持好奇！

Lufthansa needs “half of Germany’s electricity” to run its entire fleet on green fuels

The air transport giant will have to consume half of the electricity produced in Germany to keep all aircraft running on green fuel.

Carsten Spohr, the group’s CEO, told a national aviation conference in Hamburg that Lufthansa, which has the largest fleet in Europe, “will need about half of Germany’s electricity to convert it into synthetic fuel.”

But both economics minister Robert Habeck and Federal Network Agency, which regulates Germany’s electricity, won’t give me that amount of energy.
