French aviation receives $17bn bailout

France’s aviation sector has been granted a $17bn bailout by the government.

France’s aviation sector has been granted a $17bn bailout by the government. Dr Christophe Benaroya is director of aerospace MBA programmes at Toulouse Business School, and tells us what the package of loans and grants is expected to achieve. And we get reaction from Gilles Lazarini, president of OMPE, which lobbies for the protection of the environment. Also in the programme, as Cyprus’s tourism sector opens up again, visitors from Russia and the UK, which make up 70% of tourists to the country remain banned, because of high coronavirus infection rates in their countries. Harry Kyrillou is commercial director of the firm Planet Holidays, which specialises in visitors from the UK to Cyprus, and discusses the likely impact on his business. Our regular workplace commentator Stephanie Hare examines the growing trend towards employees being laid off via Zoom conference calls, and asks if there is a better way. Plus with Indian Premier League cricket still suspended, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s Rahul Tandon finds out how people in the country are coping without it.
