European carmakers, like BMW (BMW.DE), Volkswagen (VOW1.DE) or Mercedes Benz (MBG.DE) are already in process of making their new fleet fully electric but industry groups warn that such a strict ban will lead to job losses and higher prices for consumers.
Lufthansa (LHA.DE) said that it had to cancel around 900 flights scheduled for July due to staff shortages. Those are mostly domestic and short-haul European flights. Majority of those flights were scheduled for weekends and accounted for around 5% of weekend capacity.
Share price of Lufthansa (LHA.DE) is pulling back after repeated failures to break above the 200-session moving average (purple line). Stock broke below €6.55 support and is eyeing a drop towards early-March low at €5.40. Source:x Station5
