German carrier hopes that its Swiss airline will pay back its pandemic-related government-backed loans by the end of the year because interest rates on them are high, the CEO said, adding that the unit isn’t for sale.

Lufthansa expects private trips to recover to pre-pandemic levels next year. The company is already seeing a “catch-up effect," with bookings to some destinations surging above 2019 levels.

The CEO is more skeptical regarding a recovery for business travel, saying it’s too early to quantify if the pandemic will reduce work trips by 5%, 10% or 15%. Oil Shock Lufthansa and its peers are also wrestling with Russia’s war in Ukraine, which has triggered an oil shock and forced carriers to cancel or reroute long-haul journeys to avoid shuttered airspace.

While Lufthansa has hedged some two thirds of its kerosene needs for this year, rising oil prices will eventually lead to higher ticket prices, Spohr said. “If the price of oil goes up $10 a barrel, the ticket price goes up $10 on average," he said.

The brouhaha over data on pandemic mortality

The New York Times, the WHO pegged extra deaths above the pre-covid norm at about 15 million globally by the end of 2021. This figure, which includes indirect losses from a healthcare crunch caused by a covid crowding-out, is around 9 million above the combined tally reported by governments. India, with an official covid death toll of roughly 520,000, was estimated to account for at least 4 million deaths. While this broadly conforms with independent studies by other agencies, it has evoked a sharp response from New Delhi, which has sought to poke holes in the methodology that was used for it. As the controversy draws global attention, the validity of our stance is likely to face scrutiny around the globe.

Tax Day 2022: Deadline to file is Monday — what to know if you need an extension

WASHINGTON - Monday is Tax Day 2022, the federal deadline to file income tax returns and pay taxes owed, and the IRS expects millions of last-minute filings both electronically and through the mail. The IRS said that as of April 8, it had received more than 103 million returns for this tax season. For comparison, last year more than 169 million people completed an income tax return by the end of the year. That probably leaves nearly 40% of this year's taxpayers still unaccounted for, with many scrambling to submit their documents by Monday.Meanwhile, some 15 million taxpayers are expected to request an extension of time to file, according to the agency.
