Berlin Tegel airport expects disruption from defusing of WW2 bomb
Berlin's Tegel (Berlin: TGW.BE - news) airport has warned passengers to expect disruption on Friday morning when a World War Two bomb discovered near the capital's central train station is defused. Planes coming in to land at Tegel, which is about seven kilometres (4.4 miles) away from the central station, may therefore need to be re-routed to avoid flying above the defusing site. "Air traffic will be significantly limited tomorrow morning before and during the defusal," the airport operator told passengers via Twitter (Frankfurt: A1W6XZ - news) .

IAG's Walsh moves on Norwegian Air to battle expected turbulence
LONDON/BERLIN, April 12 (Reuters) - IAG's move on budget carrier Norwegian Air Shuttle (LSE: 0FGH.L - news) may prove a shrewd move for the group led by Willie Walsh ahead of expected further turbulence in the European aviation industry. Norwegian's plan to bring the low-cost model that has proven so successful on short-haul routes in Europe to flights across the Atlantic (Shanghai: 600558.SS - news) has affected IAG's British Airways more than other carriers in Europe because Norwegian has targeted flying from Britain in particular.
Reuters•13 days agoIAG's Walsh moves on Norwegian Air to battle expected turbulence
LONDON/BERLIN (Reuters) - IAG's (ICAG.L) move on budget carrier Norwegian Air Shuttle (NWC.OL) may prove a shrewd move for the group led by Willie Walsh ahead of expected further turbulence in the European aviation industry. Norwegian's plan to bring the low-cost model that has proven so successful on short-haul routes in Europe to flights across the Atlantic has affected IAG's British Airways more than other carriers in Europe because Norwegian has targeted flying from Britain in particular. Analysts estimate British Airways makes the majority of its profit on North Atlantic routes and alliances between established carriers on both sides of the Atlantic have for years helped to protect prices more than in other regions.

BA-owner IAG says considering making offer for Norwegian
IAG said on Thursday it had bought a 4.61 percent stake in Norwegian as a platform for starting talks, and that could lead to it making a full offer for the airline founded by former fighter pilot Bjorn Kjos. A trailblazer of low-cost long-haul flying in Europe, Norwegian has been leading the charge to eat into the trans-Atlantic (Shanghai: 600558.SS - news) market where traditional full-service carriers like British Airways have historically made most of their profits. Norwegian has already made its impact felt: British Airways and others have recently tried to compete more directly with Norwegian by introducing basic economy fares.

Reuters•16 days agoTravel industry eyes blockchain potential for fees, delays, lost bags
Blockchain technology has the potential to shake up the travel industry by giving airlines and hotels a way to bypass controlling intermediaries like Expedia (EXPE.O) or Amadeus (AMA.MC) and gain better access to customer data. Major players including Lufthansa (LHAG.DE) and citizenM hotels are partnering with startups and talking to large corporate clients about whether they can do group bookings via blockchain instead of using middlemen, who charge up to 25 percent of ticket or room prices in fees. Blockchain, which functions as an online record-keeping system maintained by a group of peers rather than a central agency or authority, also offers new business opportunities in tracking bags and flight delays.

European flight system outage not down to external interference
A computer failure that resulted in thousands of flight delays across Europe on Tuesday was not caused by outside interference, the network manager said. Eurocontrol, which is responsible for the flow of traffic across Europe's skies, is carrying out an investigation into the outage of the ETFMS flight planning processing system that affected passengers across the region. The failure of the ETFMS on Tuesday morning meant flight plans were lost and departures had to be restricted from airports across the region.

Half of European flights delayed by Eurocontrol system outage
Travellers across Europe suffered disruption on Tuesday after the failure of a continent-wide flight plan processing system, affecting around half of the day's flights and adding to problems in France caused by labour stoppages. The breakdown of the ETFMS system at European network manager Eurocontrol came on a day when travellers in France were hit by strikes by rail workers and Air France (Paris: FR0000031122 - news) employees. The outage meant flight plans filed by airlines before 1026 GMT were lost, leading to restrictions on the number of departures at airports across Europe.
