deal later on wednesday over 30,000 workers have been on strike for over a month costing the company billions. that's the company billions. that's the only crisis that the new chief executive will have to deal with as bbc�*s explains. for boeing, the stakes are climbing ever higher. it's damaging billions of dollars thanks to a safety crisis, delays to aircraft programmes and a damaging walkout by workers and its washington state. the six—week—old strike has paralysed production of the bestselling 737 as well as to 777 and the 767 freighter. their finances were quite precarious leading up to this strike with about $115 billion in net debt and now, of course, the strike has, well, halted their biggest single revenue stream by a wide margin, the 737 max programme. senior�*s at a rally last week had been demanding a 40% pay increase over four years

as well as the return of traditional pension plans abolished a decade ago. here is what's on offer — a pay rise of 35% over four years, a one—time bonus of $7,000 and improvements to retirement packages but no return to traditional pensions. analysts expect a close run—vote. these workers picketing outside the 737 felt more concessions were needed. it's not we asked for. and i feel like the contract, it's not going to push the company forward. i have seen the new contract, it's looking better but it's not quite there. i think if they came - with that in the beginning, there never wouldl have been a strike. but they will have to do a little better, i think. they are close. boeing is also under intense scrutiny from regulators over safety following this incident injanuary when an unused door fell off a brand—new plane shortly after takeoff. its new high—tech long haul aircraft, the 777x has been been repeatedly delayed.

airlines won't receive it until 2026, five years later than planned. and it's starliner spacecraft has suffered embarrassing failures, leaving astronauts stranded in space. it's a perfect storm because they are basically losing in all corners and it is a result of actually 30 years of mismanagement where they have been prioritising the short—term profits instead of making good decisions and long—term decisions. new chief executive, seen here on the left, is the man charged with clearing up the mess and then the strike in getting the factories up and running again is clearly a key priority. but much money is to be done if boeing is to leave turbulent times behind it and embrace a sunnierfuture. the cost of living crisis is around the world, people begin to travel more, they are spending money with the level expected to exceed the pre— pandemic level this year. here in asia, travellers are preferring to stay in the

region, seeing less expectations for trips, according to a new study by travel agency sky scanner. jared took me through the key insight of the report. we are seeing a shift away from some of the more popular destinations in 2024 which were bali and tokyo and they have suffered from some over tourism and now starting to see the emergence of lesser known destinations, places such as india where we are seeing skyrocketing searches for destinations and seeing a fantastic trend, starting to emerge around community and collective experiences so, people that are searching and thudding to travel for things such as sporting events and of course, started to see things like most of galleries and gaming is as well. so you're saying travellers looking or getting a bit more sophisticated with where they are choosing their destinations? yes, we are. they certainly looking at the types of destinations they're looking to resonate around the experiences

that they want to travel for. bali, tokyo, is over tourism a concern that you noticed in travellers? the data certainly shows that we are starting to see similar search trends for the less known destinations so moving away from those popular destinations this year where we are starting to see more left the field places to discover. and numbers are encouraging — surging beyond pre—pandemic levels, it looks like people want to get out there, is it also apec travellers beyond the region as well? so we are seeing long haul flights to recover beyond what they were pre—pandemic, within the region, there is affordability around some of the shorthaul destinations with low—cost carriers coming to play and increasing the volumes, make it more affordable for those travellers. we are seeing ai creep into all sorts of manners of our lives, how is it

impacting the travel industry but with regards to what travellers, how travellers are using it? we are seeing 46% of travellers now been confident with using ai as a planning tool when it comes to travel and we are actually looking at skyscanner implementing our skyscanner is semi—search tool which allows you to have natural language so it's a lot more flexible and organic in the way that you can search and find destinations with relevant process. shares of tobacco giant philip morris international have search by 10%, reaching a record high. the bran strong demand for its nicotine pouches called according to the lakers earnings report. it a smoke—free business accounting for 40% of net revenue for the period between july and september. that's it for this edition of business today. thank you for watching.
