what about evelyn's stuff and the broken carious remaining assets a day after the last answer evelyn take over rivals until thorough to say they'll challenge the deal. happy birthday a three eighty a decade ago as delivered its first super jumbo but it is not the success story the company had hoped for. and the plot that's used to produce take keer could soon you will get your car will tell you how. welcome to do business all of the bill and deal has sparked controversy in the aviation sector low cost carrier ryanair wants to take the deal to european competition authorities the german one all pally commission is looking at starting an antitrust investigation and evelyn stuff and customers are struggling to make sense of it all. the employees at air

berlin have questions lots of questions the future of most of the eight thousand two hundred employees is far from secure even after a deal with the photons the airline is purchasing most of the planes for two hundred ten million euros that's eighty one of the one hundred thirty aircraft but very few employees are being offered jobs at the photons of seventeen hundred of air berlin's former employees are already working there they were lent out to live tonnes of subsidiary euro wings there only an additional thirteen hundred jobs to apply for i know against it hit us you know tons of the impression is that lufthansa snatching up the best parts of air berlin for its own business and the employees are just an afterthought in it about how that's not permitted under european and german labor laws. and. staff can't be left in the lurch like that but it's i don't think the employees will accept it. starts.

but the financial pressure on every lane is immense it closes its doors at the end of the month and the unions can see it coming up with a better plan for the remaining six thousand employees. are afraid that everybody will lose their jobs and it's a very dramatic situation at the moment we don't know of any solutions whether easyjet is still in the game what's happening to air berlin sick with mint that will all be decided in the coming days but most of them will have to find new jobs or in. the tension is also growing as complaints over domestic monopoly could scupper the deal ryanair another former bidders for ever then want to take their case to the european court they think look times are received an unfair advantage and clinching the deal that could also prove unfair for air berlin customers you can supply the time first of all it's sad we're losing our berlin but also look tonnes a has to do even less for their customers now that they're not having competition anymore. now employees can only wait for answers that one. b.

in their favor. all right joining me now in the studio is my very aviation savvy colleague chris duff corba the first of all that deal would you say it's a good one is the best that ebeling could get well it depends who you ask if you ask for them it is a gigantic coup. their low cost subsidiary euro wings in which the herbal imports will be integrated it doubles in size just from one day to the other just like that that is very rare and it doesn't have to go through painfully slow growth in this low cost market which is dominated by other players so for it is it is a big coup if you look at the air berlin staff well it's a it's a rather sad scenario scenario for them of one the personnel pilots and flight attendants they have good chances of being rehired or taken over by loved ones or if they get rehired they're going to have to go through some pay cuts up to forty

percent that's what trade unions say and if you look at the ground staff and people working in the back office their chances of keeping their jobs over ok when you say that with the pay cuts i understand now what that lady in the report to meant when she said that service will probably suffer now we hear that obviously competitors on tapi about it but authorities monopoly commission etc they all want to look into it why. there's nary a is that tons of takes over eighty one planes of the about one hundred thirty that everyone has now the remaining parts that have not been snatched up out of tons that they are still up for grabs and according to the trust of stories they need to be bought by someone they are not supposed to disappear from the market if they did that would mean even more power to lose tons and then the whole deal could be scrapped all together now rabbi on the over on the horizon well there is easy jet they have been in talks with evelyn about for about a dozen planes but. there has been no deal signed yet there are other. other

companies that you know may swoop in if egypt doesn't get their way so there are talks but they have been for us what does this mean for passengers just briefly there is the fear of growing tickets because ticket prices for that matter because on routes where air berlin and moved on used to be competitors. is now taking on its own subsidiary that doesn't sound like much competition to me ok because of course by their very own aviation expert thank you so much for this. and moving on to another player in the aviation industry exactly a decade ago the first a three eighty was delivered it is the largest passenger aircraft in the world its parts come from britain germany and spain and they're delivered by land water and air as you can see here the final assembly takes place in toulouse in southern france after that the plane is flown off to hamburg where it's painted the cabin

a feminist now research and development where the a three eighty have cost twelve billion euros that's a third a third of which was public funding but it's unlikely the company can ever recruit its initial investments the official list price is four hundred and thirty seven million dollars for one plane but customers receive big rebates also because the a three eighty is not particularly popular with airlines. singapore airlines was the first carrier to add the a three eighty to its lineup ten years ago but now much earlier than expected the airline has decided not to extend the leasing contracts on those first jets that's not a positive signal even though singapore has also ordered more airbus is scaling back production last year at the twenty eight of the giant passenger jets and twenty eighteen it's only planning on manufacturing twelve a three eighty s and just nine in twenty nineteen. you have

a bus and. we're adjusting to market fluctuations that pretty standard in this business you have to take the long view of the a three eighty has now been around a long time and will continue to develop it in the coming years after that we'll be able to ramp up production again. and. their boss wants to win new customers with new designs one of its technical developments is an improved wing let the end of the wing that arches up nearly vertically the plane manufacturer says by making it larger they've reduced both drag and fuel consumption by four percent and all their bus engineers have also altered the interior of the plane. we're using the whole cabin on both decks more efficiently and that's made space for eighty additional seats so. that means carriers can reduce the costs per passenger carried by the. airbus continues to believe the plane has a bright future especially on intercontinental routes like between paris and new

york or sydney and los angeles. because inside n.p.r. eons of crisis the longer routes are the ones that remain relatively stable compared to shorter routes and they get shut down at times and that means that larger planes are generally always in use even when times are hard you know the news often based on site and however there are. no plans to make any major changes in the near future for example to make the a three eighty s. engines more fuel efficient the development costs for that says airbus are simply too high in an era of sinking demand. china safety watchdog has ordered german comic a dime led to recall over three hundred fifty thousand mercedes cars fitted with potentially dangerous to kata backs the authority says millions of cars on chinese roads are equipped with the airbags that can explode releasing shrapnel when deployed to kata declared bankruptcy in june and to joint venture partners will

and ethanol that's somewhere between ten and thirty percent and clinton and the policy and. it's a boon for drivers but also for farmers and distilleries who can sell their waste. one thing is very important to this new idea of using not only the court to produce tequila you know but to also use the leaves and the bad guys to produce ethanol can be carried out on an industrial level. with us it will be in the. right now everything is still in a testing phase as scientists are comfortable pouring their product straight into their own gas tanks but other drivers might have to get used to it. but as we know when they don't know it sounds like a good idea but i don't know what impact it will have on my car engine does it need to be a special engine or can any engine use

a gobby ethanol and then when you're having. apparently every engine can once the concept catches on the i gather a plant will be powering mexicans as well as their cars but hopefully not at the same time. that's all for business thanks for watching.
