it's only day one after the last take over and already rivals and authorities are taking aim to challenge the deal uncertainty prevails about the future of staff to the broken carriers remaining us. also happy birthday a three eighty ten years ago apple us delivered its first super jumbo but airlines have fallen out of love with the biggest passenger jet in the world. welcome to d.w. business. the takeover of bankrupt carrier. sparked controversy in the sector in europe low cost carrier ryanair wants to take the deal to european competition authorities the german monopoly commission is also looking at starting an antitrust investigation and many employees are not happy either. 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 tons of seventeen hundred of air berlin's former employees are already working there they were lent out to live tons of subsidiary euro wings their 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 the employees are just an afterthought that's not permitted under european and german labor laws gotten into office all patient about face and staff can't be left in the lurch like that. i don't think the employees will accept it.

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 who are afraid that everybody will lose their jobs 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 sic 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 form of bidders for ever they want to take their case to the european court they think look times are received an unfair advantage and clinching the deal now employees can only wait for answers that won't be in their favor. so a lot of headwind there for that takeover deal let's cross over to often national correspondent standing by in frankfurt for us. ryan that all companies

complaining about market concentration isn't that a bit rich. yes it is kind of your pot meet kettle situation there are tons actually responded to that by saying that of course its market share in germany will increase from the thirty four percent that it has now but it still won't come close to what ryan air enjoys in its home market of ireland which is forty eight per cent now it has to be said that these complaints out of ryanair are coming out of a time where it really has its own problems to fix let's not forget this kind of this flight cancellation crisis still ongoing its council twenty thousand flights in the last weeks it's still fighting with its pilots and saying that if ryan air is going to keep complaining about takeovers it has to be prepared to do so in the future because in the industry there is a widely predicted trend of more consolidation of smaller airlines struggle to survive and struggle to compete with bigger airlines and budget airlines since they're somewhere in between so we'll see more smaller airlines taken over unlike

what we've seen with air berlin. so much for the aviation business is there no one else is moving markets over that front but today. well today investors are quite focused on buyer after it announced a deal with b.s.f. to sell some of its seeds business for almost six billion euros now we've seen by your shares trading up for is as a result of that there was also an i.p.o. for this new company a six year old company called volatile box that's a company that makes a battery systems for commercial electric vehicles like buses and like forklift now electoral ability obviously a very hot topic for the industry right now so investors have been very excited as for the docks itself more generally it's sort of danced around this thirteen thousand mark not really sure whether to make up its mind on holding on to that thirteen thousand mark or not but we've got some time till the close so we're going to see some movement until then. thirteen thousand mark how important is that briefly if you kyra. well it shows of that investors are starting to shake off

political uncertainty also and they're starting to enjoy the benefits for example of an up or the revised growth forecast from the likes of the i.m.f. and the o.e.c.d. so improving business conditions thank you very much another milan in frankfurt for us thanks a lot. smarter than an adverse read today ten years ago the first a three eighty was delivered spot celebrations are likely to be low key the biggest passenger aircraft in the world has a mixed record customers aren't exactly breaking down the doors to get one any more . 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 and twenty nineteen. you have a bus and then mocked we are adjusting to market fluctuations that's 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 airbus 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 don't cite 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. canadian prime minister justin trudeau is in mexico city to meet with mexican president enrique

now more than ever because this him our daughter not only supplies the local to kill a plant he also helps fuel cars in the region after the juice from the ferments and matures to become the country's national trend the pulp and their god beliefs go to this man leopoldo have yet rios consol this he came up with the refining process for a gasoline additive. to me and. he is very similar to gasoline and can be even better if you find the ideal mix of gasoline and ethanol that somewhere between ten and thirty percent. clinton has seen trying to foresee 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 cord 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 there. 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 you know when i 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 god a yes or no 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. the c.e.o. of samsung electronics has resigned in the wake of what he calls an unprecedented
