EU funds for holiday flyers Aid for Condor declared null and void

As of: 06/09/2021 1:00 p.m.

The EU court annulled a decision of the EU Commission that allowed German aid for the Condor airline. Ryanair had sued against the release. Ryanair has achieved a success against state corona aid for the German airline Condor before the EU court (EGG). The judges overturned the EU Commission’s decision to approve the aid. The decision of the Brussels authority was not sufficiently justified, said the court in Luxembourg. In practice, however, this initially has no consequences: the effect of the declaration of invalidity was suspended until the EU Commission has passed a new decision. This means that Condor does not have to repay the money immediately.

Loan of 550 million euros

Germany had registered the aid in favor of Condor in Brussels in April 2020. This involved two government-secured loans with reduced interest rates in the amount of 550 million euros. The background was damage caused by the cancellation or postponement of flights due to travel restrictions in the corona pandemic. The low-cost airline Ryanair complained, among other things, of violations of the free movement of services and filed a lawsuit against the release.

Connection with bankruptcy proceedings?

At Condor, the situation had worsened due to the bankruptcy of the parent company Thomas Cook in autumn 2019, which preceded the corona crisis. The airline was only able to continue working with rescue aid of 380 million euros, which was also approved by the EU. The insolvency proceedings initiated at the time had to be extended after the outbreak of the Corona crisis because the new owner, the Polish aviation company PGL, had jumped off. The 550 million euros in government aid also included costs that resulted from the extension of the insolvency proceedings at Condor. Ryanair had argued that the commission had not explained why it had even included the extended insolvency period when calculating the damage to Condor from the corona crisis. The Condor case is one of many in which Ryanair is taking action against state corona aid for competitors. So far, the plaintiff has succeeded in some cases but not in others. (Case T 665/20)

April 30: Coffee shop attracts tourists The first place the group visited was The Wilder Nest, a cafe located between 3 passes of Prenn, Sacom and Tuyen Lam. The shop is in the process of being repaired, does not serve water, but still allows visitors to freely take photos. The sunlight flooded in making the space here become majestic. Around 8am, some people started coming to check-in, the space became more bustling. The majestic space at The Wilder Nest. Utopia Dalat is a homestay suitable for those who like tranquility. Because of traveling during the holidays, I had to book a room 2 weeks in advance to get a seat. Room rates for 3 days and 2 nights are about 525,000 VND/person. The shop displays many beautiful small stone lotus pots. The hostess is friendly, sponsors the charcoal, the oven for the guests’ barbecue. The plus point of the accommodation is the giant bougainvillea in front of the house, just stepping out the door, you have a lovely picture right away. Around 3pm, we stopped at Bag Mo To. The wooden houses are designed in a vintage style that makes a strong impression. Each glass of water here costs 50,000-60,000 VND. I like the stone lotus house the most with many beautiful potted plants, eye-catching pictures. In the evening, we enjoy wet cake and go for a walk at the central night market. Because of traveling by private car, the group is quite proactive in terms of time. 1/5: Early morning cloud hunting experience mây From 5am, we were at the famous Da Phu hill to hunt clouds and watch the sunrise. You can walk up the hill or rent a car for a round trip of 50,000 VND/person. This thrilling experience like off-road racing is not for the faint of heart. After breakfast, the group bought tickets to visit Puppy Farm. This is a complex consisting of a dog farm, a flower hill, a strawberry garden, a stone lotus… with an airy and pleasant atmosphere. If you don’t like the crowded scene on the banks of Tuyen Lam lake, you can go deeper and stop at Happy Hill. This area is quite large, so tourists spread out to many places. The price of drinking water is about 60,000 VND/cup. Experience early morning cloud hunting in Da Phu and watch Trai Mat light up. In the evening, we went to eat hot pot. Tao Ngo é chicken hotpot is always on the group’s list of places to visit. The meal cost 400,000 VND, a lot of meat, just enough for 6 people. Vu Thi Village Coffee, beautiful view, watching Trai Mat light up, is a suggestion you can refer to. The group also visited the square to drink hot soy milk – a familiar dish chosen by many tourists when coming to Da Lat. The salesman here has a good sense of epidemic prevention, everyone wears a mask. Day 2/5: Da Lat returns to its quietness The next morning, I enlisted to clean up, check out and find a coffee shop when I returned to Ho Chi Minh City, back to busy office work. During 3 days in the foggy city, I had the opportunity to visit many coffee shops, in which, the space in Bo Hem was the most poetic. Perhaps many tourists take advantage of leaving early, so the shop is quite empty. A reasonable schedule is the secret for visitors to have a full experience. Before leaving, we had delicious and cheap broken rice at Ms. Thu’s restaurant 118 on Hai Ba Trung Street. The journey back to Ho Chi Minh City starts at 14:00. The section below the people of Bao Loc pass was still congested, so the friend took a shortcut to Binh Thuan. Great, we got home exactly at 10pm. For me, choosing a destination and schedule when traveling to Da Lat on holidays is quite important. Even in the midst of the “sea of ​​people”, the group still found valuable and unforgettable experiences.

Receiving a text from my boss, I glanced at my watch. 6 more hours until my flight from Hanoi to Da Nang departs at 20 pm on April 30. Previously, on April 29, Ha Nam province recorded a case with a positive result for SARS-CoV-2, BN2899. This person has just completed concentrated isolation in Da Nang City and tested negative for nCoV 3 times. After that, many F1, F2 related to this case were found to have Covid-19. “Or stay where you are?”, I hesitated a bit. Noi Bai airport (Hanoi) at noon on April 29 was more crowded than usual because many people returned to their hometown or went on holiday on April 30. Photo: Ngoc Tan. However, this is my first leave since the beginning of this year. I was so excited that I planned it long in advance. There are still recommendations from the Ministry of Health on maintaining the 5K status (masks, disinfection, distance, not gathering, medical declaration), but then, moving between localities is not prohibited. Moreover, Da Nang has not had a ban on tourist areas, resorts and hotels from accepting guests. In the end, I packed my things in my suitcase and left with the thought: “If the translation is too complicated, I can book a ticket to return earlier.” Avoid going to bars and clubs for fear of danger On the morning of May 1, I decided to go to the beach. Contrary to my imagination of a crowded Danang during the holiday season, traffic is sparse on the streets. Seeing me wondering, the driver said: “The epidemic is so scary that people have been rushing back since April 30. There is a company that booked a 5-star hotel for 500 employees to go on vacation but also canceled the tour.” At the beach, although the weather is quite nice, I can count the number of people out here playing on my fingers. It was a group of young Chinese friends carrying buoys playing in the sea. A family with young children all fell into the water and struggled back to the shore to make sand. In the afternoon of the same day, the scene was still strangely deserted on the way to Linh Ung pagoda on Son Tra peninsula. Not many tourists visit Linh Ung Pagoda (Son Tra, Da Nang) on ​​the afternoon of May 1. Some foreigners do not wear masks. Photo: NVCC. Arriving at an emerging place recently, which young people call “Obama rock”, I saw about 100 people, mostly local families, sitting crammed in huts to eat, drink and sing. . Seeing the crowded scene, no one wearing a mask or paying attention to the distance, my companion and I quickly left. Although the plan that day was to go “chill” at the bar on the roof of a high-rise building in the evening, we decided to cancel because a closed environment such as a bar or pub can easily spread the virus. Throughout the day, my companion and I did not forget to wear masks and bring hand sanitizer. Sometimes when traveling on the road, I take advantage of reading the news to update the situation about new infections. Going out in anxiety According to the schedule, on May 2, I spend time mainly in Hoi An city (Quang Nam). Unlike Da Nang, the entertainment spots here are still quite crowded. Except when diving to see coral or swimming in Cu Lao Cham, my companion and I try not to leave the mask. At lunchtime, we also choose a corner table to limit contact with people. However, with the large number of tourists present on the island, it is very difficult to ensure social distancing. Visitors are sparse in Hoi An ancient town at about 4pm on May 2, but it becomes more and more crowded in the evening. Photo: NVCC. On the way to Hoi An ancient town, the taxi driver reminded us that the suspected case of SARS-CoV-2 infection was a local. I immediately opened the phone to check the information to be more secure. As evening comes, the number of tourists flocking to the old town increases, mainly young people traveling with lovers and families. They gathered around famous sightseeing areas such as Cau Pagoda, Ba Mu pagoda gate, Phuc Kien assembly hall… to take pictures. According to observations, most do not wear masks.

Will there be a compensatory rebound in tourism demand during Qingming and May Day holidays? How has the tourism market recovered this year? Sohu think tank connected with Wang Qiyan, director of the Leisure Economics Research Center of Renmin University of China.

Wang Qiyan said that this year’s Spring Festival, the implementation of the in-situ Chinese New Year policy for safety considerations, does have a backlog of tourism demand, which will be released during the Qingming Festival and the May 1st holiday. But he also emphasized that the Spring Festival in China is a time for family reunion, and the proportion of tourism demand is not very high compared to visiting relatives. Therefore, we need to look at the release and rebound of tourism demand objectively.

Wang Qiyan pointed out that with the rise of local tourism and nearby tourism economies, if the tourism industry wants to seize the opportunity, it needs to focus on three aspects. First of all, providing adequate services is the most fundamental thing for the industry. Second, innovation will always be the theme, and it must be a two-wheel drive of culture and technology. Third, the government should do a good job of supervision, including issues such as not defrauding consumers, which require more attention from the government.

Will outbound tourism resume in the second half of the year? Wang Qiyan said that it is still very difficult to predict. From the perspective of foreign epidemic prevention and control, there is a positive side. For example, some places are also learning China’s vaccination. But there are also negative factors. Some areas still go their own way, don’t wear masks and gather casually. Therefore, we should be cautious about the recovery of situational tourism.

Before the news that many hotels had ‘burned’ rooms for the holidays of April 30 and May 1, Ms. Thao said that normally, travel agencies had to plan hotel and restaurant reservations many months ago. Therefore, at the peak time, when the retail customers call the hotel to book directly, they often will not be there because the hotel always gives priority to room funds for travel agencies.

Therefore, at peak, when customers want to use the service, they can still book through travel agencies, there is still room fund in the hotel.
