Hna making largest lost in history even when China domestic market recovered

Hainan Airlines Holding, the aviation unit of debt-laden Chinese conglomerate HNA Group, has posted the biggest-ever annual loss among listed Chinese companies. Hit by the outbreak of Covid-19 and provisions for asset losses linked to a restructuring at its parent firm, the Haikou-based carrier reported a loss of 64 billion yuan (US$9.9 billion) for 2020, or 3.83 yuan per share, it said in an exchange statement on Friday. And the airline continues to be unprofitable this year too – it reported a first-quarter loss of 2.6 billion yuan in a separate filing.

I think short covered alot today

Before the pandemic, business travel had grown annually for a decade. Now, the industry is bracing itself for a lasting decline of between 10 and 25 per cent, mainly because executives are expected to travel less in the future. People have become used to video conferencing. They have also discovered they don’t need to be physically present for every meeting and they have grown to appreciate that time spent on travel can be better used elsewhere.

And, at a corporate level, the bean counters are happy with the often substantial savings being made on travel budgets. That alone is likely to change the definition of what constitutes an “essential” business trip forever. Add in the commitment by more and more organisations to a net-zero-emissions policy and the business travel market looks set for a bumpy recovery.

Spending by “road warriors” accounts for about a fifth of revenues within the overall global travel and hospitality sectors but it is lucrative business. Consulting firm McKinsey estimates that up to 75 per cent of profits for some major carriers and large city hotels are dependent on corporate users

Pakistan records more than 200 Covid deaths in a day for the first time
Pakistan recorded more than two hundred Covid-19 deaths in a day for the first time since the start of the pandemic, as the government said it was considering stricter lockdowns.

Umar Farooq reports for Reuters from Islamabad that a total of 201 new deaths were recorded on Tuesday, bringing the country’s overall death toll from the virus to 17,530, according to the National Command Operation Center (NCOC), which oversees the government’s pandemic response. The previous highest daily death count was 157 recorded on 23 April.

Only around two million vaccinatations have been administered in Pakistan, and the country has struggled to procure supplies to cover enough of its population. Officials have said health care facilities are at risk of being overwhelmed. Pakistan has very limited health resources, with ventilators and oxygen in short supply.

Around 6,286 Covid-19 patients were being treated in 631 hospitals on Tuesday, and more than 70% of ventilators and oxygenated beds were occupied in hospitals in many major cities, according to the NCOC.

Iran has found three suspected cases of the coronavirus variant discovered in South Africa, health minister Saeed Namaki said on Tuesday, calling it an alarm bell after a record 496 deaths from Covid-19 were recorded a day earlier.

The country is battling a fourth wave of infections and reported 462 further deaths from the virus on Tuesday.

Iran’s death toll now stands at 70,532, according to official statistics.

Namaki said:

Unfortunately we received a report about three cases of the South African virus, and we are making more checks to confirm this.

We are also checking cases of Indian visitors infected with the coronavirus and hope that they don’t carry the [Indian] mutated virus.

In any case, these alarm bells tell us that we need to increase social distancing and better follow health precautions.

On Saturday Iran barred travellers from India and neighbouring Pakistan to curb the spread of virus variants.

Fiji outbreak confirmed as 'Indian variant' – inter-island and international travel banned
A Covid-19 outbreak that forced Fiji’s capital into lockdown after the island nation avoided transmission for a year has been confirmed as the Indian variant, with health officials saying they feared a “tsunami” of cases.

The Pacific country had largely dodged community transmission before a cluster emerged this month centred on a quarantine facility in Nadi, the city that is home to Fiji’s international airport.

The permanent secretary for health and medical services, James Fong, said six new cases had emerged in quarantine facilities on Tuesday and events in India showed the threat posed by the strain could not be underestimated.

“We cannot let that nightmare happen in Fiji,” he said in a televised address, AFP report.

“We still have time to stop it happening but a single misstep will bring about the same Covid tsunami that our friends in India, Brazil, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States are enduring.”

Fiji has largely contained the virus through strict isolation measures and border controls, recording 109 cases and just two deaths in a population of 930,000.

Authorities on Tuesday banned inter-island travel, while national carrier Fiji Airways has suspended all international and domestic passenger flights.

The emergence of community transmission is a blow for Fiji’s hopes of opening quarantine-free travel bubbles with Australia and New Zealand, both major sources of international tourists before the pandemic.

Indian variant are spreading

So today up just because of the 10 mil court case? That is enough for three day burn rate?

Even though India’s case load was down from Monday’s global record (323,144 new cases, down from 352,991) some medical experts warned it was due to reduced testing, not a reduced infection rate.

“Please note that a huge fall in daily cases … is largely due to a heavy fall in testing. This should not be taken as an indication of falling cases, rather a matter of missing out on too many positive cases!” Rijo M John, a professor and health economist at the Indian Institute of Management in the southern state of Kerala, said in a post on Twitter.

Thailand on Tuesday reported 15 new coronavirus deaths, setting a new daily record for the third time in four days during a growing third wave of infections that has prompted new shutdowns in Bangkok and other areas.

The health ministry also reported 2,179 new coronavirus cases, bringing total confirmed infections to 59,687 and fatalities to 163.

Parks, gyms, cinemas and day-care centres in the capital Bangkok were ordered to shut from 26 April until 9 May.
