FRANKFURT

Turkish Airlines (THY) is set to resume flights between 16 cities in six European countries, including Germany, the Netherlands and Austria and Turkey, on June 18, the flag carrier's senior official has announced.

Lufthansa has announced it is increasing flights between Germany and Greece from June 15, doubling the number of services it provides from Athens to Munich and Frankfurt.

It is planned that Air Serbia will start renewing flights from Nis on June 16, while the planes of the Serbian national airline from Kraljevo will fly starting on June 30, 2020, the national airline announced.

Frankfurt's annual book fair - the world's largest - will take place as scheduled in mid-October, its organizers said on May 27, a sign of some return to normality amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The event usually draws more than 300,000 visitors, and dates back to the 15th century when Johannes Gutenberg
introduced the mass printing of books in nearby Mainz.

As it gradually comes out of lockdown to restore domestic and some international service, Aegean Airlines is introducing strict safety measures at the gate and onboard and a flexible ticketing policy, the Greek carrier said in an announcement.

Increased liquidity requirements amid the coronavirus pandemic contributed toward the increase in Greek bank' dependence on European Central Bank funding.

Greece's largest carrier Aegean Airlines said on Thursday it will gradually restart flights from Athens to some major European destinations by the end of May, ending a suspension prompted by the new coronavirus pandemic.

Most of the infected are workers of the company "Djuro Djakovic Montaza" from Slavonski Brod, and some of the members of their families.
It is about 20 workers who returned to Croatia from Sweden on May 2 by plane via Frankfurt, which made that flight a new source of infection in Croatia, "Jutarnji list" writes.

While all of Europe is taking a socio-economic beating the German Federal Court of Justice opined that the bond-buying programme of the European Central Bank that emerged after the last debt crisis is in part unconstitutional and touches on the principles of the German (Federal) Constitution.

The current crisis is threatening to tear apart the European construct and project.

It may be hard for the yields of the benchmark bonds to return to the all-time lows of 0.92 percent observed just a few months ago, but the recovery of the Greek debt over the rest of 2010 and in 2021 appears necessary, according to analysts.
