Did you see the Airbus plane flying low over Derby last night? Josh Gould certainly did - and he captured this spectacular footage. Josh filmed the A330neo flying over Normanton just after 6pm yesterday. The flypast wasn't widely known about, and many people feared it was so close to the ground that it would crash. But it was then revealed that the flight was part of the new Airbus plane's "five continent" proving tour, a programme of rigorous tests to gain its certificate of airworthiness, which will allow it to begin passenger services. This is how we covered the flypast last night The version of the Neo which flew over Derby is the extended fuselage version of the plane, which can accommodate 287 seats. Its full designation is the A330-900neo. Airbus kicked off this phase of the flight test campaign by conducting flypasts of various production facilities in Europe, including Rolls-Royce, that have contributed components to the aircraft.

POLITICO Brussels Playbook, presented by Airbus: The Donald Trumps NATO and May — Thyssen out — Tusk walking
Press play to listen to this article By FLORIAN EDERwith ZOYA SHEFTALOVICH PRESENTED BY AIRBUS Send tips here | Tweet @florianeder | Listen to today’s Playbook and view in your browser GOOD FRIDAY MORNING. What a week, again. The world watched the operation to save 12 kids and their soccer coach from a cave in Thailand. (They’re now safe, without any help from Elon Musk’s tiny submarine.) The World Cup rewarded us with really great matches — it’s a shame it’ll be over this weekend. Donald Trump was in Brussels, and wow was he in Brussels. He’s now in Britain, where an inflatable Trump made news as much as the inflated one did. Finally, two years after the referendum to leave the EU, there’s now a British plan on what Brexit shall be all about. Business as usual: The train strike in Belgium is over and so is the NATO summit, so traffic should be back to — crazy, anyway — normal today. The sun’s out … [Read more...] about POLITICO Brussels Playbook, presented by Airbus: The Donald Trumps NATO and May — Thyssen out — Tusk walking
POLITICO Brussels Playbook, presented by Airbus: Britain’s zombie PM — Europe’s Trump problem — MEPs cash in
Press play to listen to this article By FLORIAN EDER PRESENTED BY AIRBUS Send tips here | Tweet @florianeder | Listen to today’s Playbook and view in your browser Attention, Bruxelles: If you can avoid Brussels for a few days this week, do it: Security will be heightened between today and Thursday for the NATO summit at the alliance’s new headquarters. Don’t expect to get around town or to and from the airport without some disruption. Taking the train might not be your best option either: Train service will be laid low by a strike starting this morning and running until 3:00 a.m. Thursday. Check whether your train is running here. Do like the king of the Belgians does … and get your priorities straight. U.S. President Donald Trump might be coming to Brussels, but King Philippe will be watching les Diables Rouges square off against France in the World Cup semifinals in Russia. Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel … [Read more...] about POLITICO Brussels Playbook, presented by Airbus: Britain’s zombie PM — Europe’s Trump problem — MEPs cash in
ConsumerBusinessSpotlightConsumerBusinessSpotlightConsumerBusinessSpotlightConsumerBusinessSpotlightConsumerBusinessSpotlight An election, a Norway-style deal, and a second referendum: how Labour could unite the country
With the departure of David Davis, the Conservative strategy for Brexit has died. Despite embodying a very clear strand of thinking among old-style Tory voters, it’s not the man himself who matters. The simple fact is: Theresa May cannot now get her Chequers plan through the Commons. The implications of this must be stared squarely in the face: –The EU27 will regard the Chequers request – for a customs arrangement, voluntary alignment etc – as irrelevant; any support that was building for positive engagement with May’s request will be easily overridden by Emmanuel Macron, who is pushing for the indivisibility of the single market rules. – May will likely be overthrown before the Tory conference in October. The “second vote” that decides the fate of Brexit will be another snap general election. – The real alternatives are a Canada-style free trade deal and a Norway-style deal that puts the UK inside both the customs … [Read more...] about ConsumerBusinessSpotlightConsumerBusinessSpotlightConsumerBusinessSpotlightConsumerBusinessSpotlightConsumerBusinessSpotlight An election, a Norway-style deal, and a second referendum: how Labour could unite the country
Here’s a List of European Companies Operating in Iran In Face of US Sanctions
Washington’s decision to kill the deal does not seem to affect American business, while the introduction of “secondary sanctions” against Tehran would be detrimental to European heavyweights operating on Iranian soil. In response to the US decision, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker stated that the 28-member union would amend its Blocking Statute in order to include Washington’s anti-Tehran sanctions in the regulation to shield its businesses.
