European airlines demand 'level playing field' with Chinese rivals
BRUSSELS (Reuters) -European airlines urged Brussels on Wednesday to do more to secure a level playing field in the industry, complaining that Chinese rivals enjoy a huge cost advantage because they can fly over Russia and do not face extra environmental costs. A number of carriers, including IAG-owned British Airways and Lufthansa have recently cancelled their routes to Beijing as they struggle with competition from Chinese airlines on Europe-Asia routes. Action is all the more important because many carriers are also facing delivery delays as planemakers Airbus and Boeing struggle with supply chain problems and, in Boeing's case, industrial action, the airlines said.
