Record-breaking summer for flights across Atlantic tests demand for travelBooming demand for transatlantic travel comes amid signs of a wobble in the US domestic marketUS and European airlines have embarked on a record-breaking summer of transatlantic flying, in a test of demand for travel on some of the world’s most lucrative routes.There are nearly 418,000 flights scheduled between the US and Europe from April to October, 7 per cent higher than the record set last year, according to aviation data consultancy OAG.Airlines bosses have reported particularly strong demand from US travellers visiting Europe, buoyed by the strong dollar.“A lot of Americans are walking the streets of London, as they are in many other great destinations across Europe,” said Ed Bastian, chief executive of US carrier Delta.European tourists are also travelling the other way in significant numbers, and capacity along transatlantic routes has boomed.Capacity along transatlantic routes exceeds where it was in July 2019, while it has shrunk on routes to Asia, from either the US or Europe. United Airlines scheduled the most seats in July — more than 722,000, up 3 per cent from July 2023 — while British Airways has planned more than 419,000 seats, slightly more than one year earlier.Meanwhile, Air France boosted its seating capacity by more than 15 per cent to 279,000 seats, the largest increase among transatlantic carriers, according to aviation data provider Cirium.Virgin Atlantic recorded its highest ever revenue for passengers travelling from the US to the UK last month, while in the other direction, flagged particular interest from UK travellers flying to Los Angeles, San Francisco and Florida.The booming demand for travel across the Atlantic comes amid signs of a wobble in the US domestic market, with some investors asking if capacity oversupply could bleed into the US-Europe routes.United Airlines scheduled the most seats in July — more than 722,000, up 3% from July 2023 © Gary Hershorn/Getty ImagesThere are few signs of cracks in demand across the Atlantic, according to airline bosses. Along with the strong currency, continued demand for international travel following the coronavirus pandemic has encouraged Americans to fly to Europe, including Italy, Spain and France.“I think there is a desire [to travel] after years of feeling cooped up,” Bastian said.He pointed to an added factor of Taylor Swift fans driving up demand for European flights, as they sought concert tickets that were generally cheaper than in the US.This jump in demand for leisure travel — particularly in business and first class — has helped compensate for the continued decline in corporate travel, which is yet to return to 2019 levels.“There is no doubt that the transatlantic market remains one of the most attractive markets for airlines and for many carriers is the most profitable part of their networks,” said John Grant, chief analyst at OAG.US airlines, too, are motivated to cross the Atlantic as the supply of seats in the domestic market outstrips demand, sending fares lower.Yields remained strong on transatlantic flights, offering carriers a “pricing opportunity”, said Cirium analyst Rob Morris. “People are going out to make money on these routes,” he added.This summer will also see more low-cost airlines fly across the Atlantic than in previous years, as a growing number of carriers look to break into a market traditionally dominated by a handful of legacy airlines including BA, United and Delta.Just over 7,300 flights by low-cost carriers including Norse Atlantic and Canada’s Air Transat are scheduled between North America and Europe, although this will still only account for about 5 per cent of the market, according to OAG.More low-cost airlines fly across the Atlantic than in previous years this summer © Spencer Platt/Getty ImagesThe airline industry has a history of adding more flights and seats to the market than consumers want, as carriers compete for a greater share of the market.This has been evident in US domestic travel, where the plentiful supply of seats has led to discounted fares, at a time when fuel and labour costs have increased.Shares in US airlines declined after Delta forecast lower third-quarter profit than Wall Street expected, as did United, despite strong second-quarter revenue figures.United chief Scott Kirby predicted “an inflection point” by mid-August, with industry domestic capacity falling 3 percentage points.“This is an industry that can ill-afford overcapacity,” said Raymond James analyst Savanthi Syth. “Something has to give.”For now, demand for travel in Europe appears more solid. But Air France-KLM this month warned it would take a financial hit after a “significant” number of tourists have avoided trips to Paris over the summer Olympics. Lufthansa has also warned it was becoming “increasingly challenging” to break even this year, citing reasons including pressure on air fares. Despite worries among some investors, airlines are continuing to maintain pricing power on transatlantic routes, particularly amid an industry-wide shortage of new aircraft, Morris said. But as Boeing and Airbus deliver more planes, fares could decrease.United chief commercial officer Andrew Nocella this week shrugged off concerns about a transatlantic supply glut hitting margins later this year. Capacity for flights to southern Europe has risen 31 per cent this summer compared with last year, with the industry pushing “the limits of demand” to the region, but United has been “careful” in managing scheduling for the rest of the year, he said.“We feel good about the set-up that the Atlantic will continue to look pretty good going forward.”
He leído con interés el post de Mistermaguf... Gramsci era Filólogo y el Partido Socialista de Pensilvania lideró ya en los años 50 el uso de técnicas de camuflaje lingüístico como fue la sustitución de "Socialista" por "Liberal" que tuvieron un gran éxito porque si "socialista" era una palabra con fuertes connotaciones negativas en los EEUU, lo contrario sucedía con "liberal". El cambalache se vio coronado por el éxito.
Little-Known Tool Is Giving Instant Access To Vast Amounts of Homebuyer DataPosted by BeauHD on Friday July 19, 2024 @06:00AM from the more-you-know dept.An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Record:CitarWhen Florida real estate professional Susan Hicks discovered the app Forewarn over a year ago, she was shocked to learn that for a service costing about $20 a month she could instantly retrieve detailed data on prospective clients with only their phone number. "For anybody who's had exposure to this, usually the first time they see it, it blows their mind," Hicks told Recorded Future News, adding that she enthusiastically recommends the tool to the brokers she manages. "It's incredible that there's that amount of information out there that you can just access with one click." "It can be real creepy and you have to swear that you're not going to use it in a wrong manner," Hicks added, referring to Forewarn rules which say real estate agents can't share data from the app publicly or with third parties, or use the app to pull information on non-professional contacts.Forewarn is primarily marketed to and used by the real estate industry, and it has been penetrating that market at a rapid clip. Although some real estate agents say the financial information it returns saves time when finding clients most likely to have the budget for the houses they're looking at, most agents and associations tout it primarily as a safety tool because it also supplies criminal records. In addition to those records, the product -- owned by the data broker red violet -- also supplies a given individual's address history; phone, vehicle and property records; bankruptcies; and liens and judgements, including foreclosure histories. Although such data could generally be gleaned from public records, Forewarn delivers it at the press of a button -- a function real estate agents say allows them to gather publicly available information without having to visit courthouses and municipal offices, a process which would normally take days.The power of Forewarn's technology has led to rapid adoption, but the company is still largely unknown outside the real estate industry. Several fair housing and civil rights advocates interviewed by Recorded Future News weren't aware of its existence. The individuals whose data it sells also have no idea their information is being shared with real estate agents, who potentially might choose not to work with them because of what they discover on the app. Forewarn did not respond to multiple requests for comment, however, statements made by one of its executives suggest that the company intentionally keeps a low profile. "Do not tell the prospect that they are not permitted or unqualified to purchase or sell property because of information you obtained from Forewarn," a company executive said at a recent training webinar with Illinois real estate agents. She emphasized that potential buyers "do not get notified" when they are screened with the app, a question she said many real estate agents ask. Real estate agents who, for example, discover a client has a lien filed against them, should consider telling the prospect they "obtained this information from a confidential service that bases their information on available public record information," the executive added.

El Gobierno anunció que pondrá en marcha una auditoría total para determinar, dentro de un universo de 1.223.864 personas beneficiarios de pensiones por invalidez, quiénes accedieron de manera irregular a dicho beneficio. Se sospecha que cerca de medio millón de pensiones serían “truchas”, porque para acceder al cobro se cometieron ilícitos en el trámite necesario para conceder la pensión. En otras palabras, se busca identificar a personas que estén cobrando la pensión sin cumplir los requisitos legales para merecerla. Y dar de baja el beneficio. Además de abrir una causa penal. Si se comprueba esta hipótesis, se podría alcanzar un ahorro en el gasto en pensiones de unos 100.000 millones de pesos por mes
A esto se suman casos individuales como los que se descubrieron, por ejemplo, en la provincia de Chaco, donde con una misma radiografía de hombro se entregaron 150 pensiones por invalidez. También se entregaron como prueba de discapacidad radiografías de un perro. En la misma provincia, en noviembre pasado -antes de finalizar el gobierno de Fernández-, se sumaron 22 mil nuevos pensionados por discapacidad.”También se detectaron casos tal vez insultantes. 60.000 beneficiarios con más de 1 auto, más de 1 casa, con barcos, aviones. También 30.000 extranjeros de los que no se sabe si fue corroborada su condición de residencia y radicación.
UK seeks ‘regular’ EU meetings to rebuild post-Brexit relationsStarmer’s new envoy wants to see Britain ‘reconnected on the world stage’(...) But for all the warm words, Thomas-Symonds says Labour has no intention of taking Britain back into the EU: “I don’t think it’s in the national interest to go back to the debates of the past and the uncertainty that would have.”Nor will talks with the EU be easy. For example the EU would like a youth mobility deal with Britain and improved terms for access to its universities, neither of which are palatable to a government committed to ending free movement and with a higher education funding crisis.But Thomas-Symonds says the diplomacy of the past two weeks had been promising. “We are certainly encouraged,” he said. “It’s about setting a mood, an atmosphere. I don’t think we should be underplaying that.”
