Aircraft delivery delays 'brutal' - Lufthansa CEO

He added around 100 of Lufthansa's 750 aircraft were grounded either for maintenance reasons or because they'd been decommissioned.Earlier this week, Airbus lowered its forecast for deliveries this year to around 770 jets from around 800. The announcement came with growing doubts among suppliers over its jet output as Airbus grapples with parts shortages.At rival Boeing, a series of incidents have raised regulatory scrutiny of the U.S. manufacturer.It's added to delays in deliveries that originated during the pandemic.

Ultra-low-cost e-commerce giants Shein and Temu have only recently been confirmed as subject to centralized enforcement of the strictest layer of the European Union's digital services regulation, the Digital Services Act (DSA), but on Friday the Commission announced it's sent a bunch of requests for information (RFI) to both platforms vis-à-vis to their compliance with various requirements of the law.
