OTTAWA, Canada (AFP) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government on Monday survived a third vote of no confidence in as many months, brought by his main Tory rival. The minority Liberal government got the support of the New Democratic Party (NDP), a small leftist faction once aligned with the ruling Liberals, to defeat the motion 180-152. The text of the proposition echoed NDP leader Jagmeet Singh’s own past criticisms of Trudeau since breaking off their partnership in late August, calling him “too weak, too selfish”. Neither Singh nor Trudeau were present for the vote. The House of Commons has been deadlocked most of this fall session by an unprecedented two-month filibuster by the Conservatives. But Speaker Greg Fergus, in a rare move, ordered a short break in the deadlock to allow for this and other possible confidence votes, and for lawmakers to vote on a key spending measure. MPs are scheduled to vote Tuesday on the spending package, which includes funds for social services, disaster relief and support for Ukraine. With a 20-point lead in polls, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has been itching for an election call since the NDP tore up its coalition agreement with the Liberals. But the NDP and other opposition parties, whose support is needed to bring down the Liberals, have so far refused to side with the Conservatives. Two no-confidence votes brought by the Tories in September and October failed when the NDP and the separatist Bloc Quebecois backed the Liberals. In Canada’s Westminster parliamentary system, a ruling party must hold the confidence of the House of Commons, which means maintaining support from a majority of members. The Liberals currently have 153 seats, versus 119 for the Conservatives, 33 for the Bloc Quebecois, and the NDP’s 25. Trudeau swept to power in 2015 and has managed to hold on through two elections in 2019 and 2021.
“Wanted” posters with the names and faces of health care executives have been popping up on the streets of New York. Hit lists with images of bullets are circulating online with warnings that industry leaders should be afraid. The apparent targeted killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the menacing threats that followed have sent a shudder through corporate America and the health care industry in particular, leading to increased security for executives and some workers. In the week since the brazen shooting , health insurers have removed information about their top executives from company websites, canceled in-person meetings with shareholders and advised all employees to work from home temporarily. An internal New York Police Department bulletin warned this week that the online vitriol that followed the shooting could signal an immediate “elevated threat.” Police fear that the Dec. 4 shooting could "inspire a variety of extremists and grievance-driven malicious actors to violence," according to the bulletin, which was obtained by The Associated Press. “Wanted” posters pasted to parking meters and construction site fences in Manhattan included photos of health care executives and the words “Deny, defend, depose” — similar to a phrase scrawled on bullets found near Thompson’s body and echoing those used by insurance industry critics . Thompson's wife, Paulette, told NBC News last week that he told her some people had been threatening him and suggested the threats may have involved issues with insurance coverage. Investigators believe the shooting suspect, Luigi Mangione , may have been motivated by hostility toward health insurers. They are studying his writings about a previous back injury, and his disdain for corporate America and the U.S. health care system. Mangione’s lawyer has cautioned against prejudging the case. Mangione, 26, has remained jailed in Pennsylvania, where he was arrested Monday . Manhattan prosecutors are working to bring him to New York to face a murder charge. UnitedHealthcare’s parent company, UnitedHealth Group, said this week it was working with law enforcement to ensure a safe work environment and to reinforce security guidelines and building access policies, a spokesperson said. The company has taken down photos, names and biographies for its top executives from its websites, a spokesperson said. Other organizations, including CVS, the parent company for insurance giant Aetna, have taken similar actions. Government health insurance provider Centene Corp. has announced that its investor day will be held online, rather than in-person as originally planned. Medica, a Minnesota-based nonprofit health care firm, said last week it was temporarily closing its six offices for security reasons and would have its employees work from home. Heightened security measures likely will make health care companies and their leaders more inaccessible to their policyholders, said former Cigna executive Wendell Potter. “And understandably so, with this act of violence. There’s no assurance that this won’t happen again,” said Potter, who’s now an advocate for health care reform. Private security firms and consultants have been in high demand, fielding calls almost immediately after the shooting from companies across a range of industries, including manufacturing and finance. Companies have long faced security risks and grappled with how far to take precautions for high-profile executives. But these recent threats sparked by Thompson's killing should not be ignored, said Dave Komendat, a former security chief for Boeing who now heads his own risk-management company. “The tone and tenor is different. The social reaction to this tragedy is different. And so I think that people need to take this seriously,” Komendat said. Just over a quarter of the companies in the Fortune 500 reported spending money to protect their CEOs and top executives. Of those, the median payment for personal security doubled over the last three years to just under $100,000. Hours after the shooting, Komendat was on a call with dozens of chief security officers from big corporations, and there have been many similar meetings since, hosted by security groups or law enforcement agencies assessing the threats, he said. “It just takes one person who is motivated by a poster — who may have experienced something in their life through one of these companies that was harmful," Komendat said. Associated Press reporters Wyatte Grantham-Philips in New York and Barbara Ortutay in San Francisco, contributed to this report.

Have you seen claims that Brian Thompson, the UnitedHealthcare CEO who was shot on Dec. 4 in New York, was killed because he was about to testify against Rep. Nancy Pelosi for insider trading? It’s gone viral on several social media platforms over the past week. But it’s not true. The oldest example of this false claim that Gizmodo could find dates to the night of Dec. 6, two days after the shooting. The X account HustleBitch wrote “ BREAKING: Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was set to testify against Nancy Pelosi for insider trading.” From that claim around 10:00 p.m. ET, other X accounts that went viral seem to have made their posts about it a couple of hours later. Politifact also found the claim being made on Threads and Instagram, though those posts were made on Dec. 7, the day after the earliest tweets spreading the false story, which were happening well before the arrest of Luigi Mangione , who’s been charged with the murder and is currently fighting extradition to New York from Pennsylvania. But the claim that Thompson was killed over this motive related to a sitting congresswoman isn’t true. There’s no evidence Thompson was going to testify against Pelosi for insider trading or anything else. But, oddly enough, Thompson was himself accused of insider trading before he was killed. The Hollywood Firefighters Pension Fund filed a lawsuit against Thompson and other executives at UnitedHealth back in May . The lawsuit alleges that the executives sold about $120 million worth of UnitedHealth shares when they learned the U.S. Department of Justice was investigating the company for anti-competitive practices. The stock went down only after it became publicly known the DOJ had opened an investigation. The suit states Thompson sold about $15 million worth of stock. Pelosi and other members of Congress have indeed received scrutiny over their activity trading stocks, and some Democrats have called for a ban, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who wrote back in 2021 , “There is no reason members of Congress should hold and trade individual stock when we write major policy and have access to sensitive information.” Some versions of the false claim on social media also use a video that purports to show Thompson talking about Nancy Pelosi providing help to UnitedHealth. The only problem, of course, is that the video doesn’t show the Thompson that was killed, as anyone with eyes can see. Matt Wallace , a conspiracy theorist who often spreads disinformation on X, helped spread the misidentified video along with several others. Wallace also made a video on Rumble claiming that Nancy Pelosi brainwashed the shooter with techniques from MKUltra, the mind control experiments of the CIA from the 1960s. There were also claims that the man who took a shot at Donald Trump over the summer in Butler, Pennsylvania. The CIA told Gizmodo after those claims went viral that any claims about MKUltra being involved in the assassination attempt were, “utterly false, absurd, and damaging.” Why are people online spreading this false story about Pelosi? We can only assume they’re either actively or unintentionally spreading false information that helps Trump. Many of the accounts that were sharing the false claim in its earliest iteration appear to have bios and images promoting the former and incoming president. HustleBitch, the account that appears to have shared the claim very early (if not possibly the first), has a history of sharing lies on the internet. That account was also one of the first to share a claim that a body double was actually used for Trump’s visit to watch a SpaceX launch with Elon Musk last month . But it’s not clear who’s actually behind the account. All we know for certain is that there’s no evidence that Thompson was killed because he was going to testify. And while Mangione’s lawyer has said his client intends to plead not guilty, all the available evidence seems to suggest that he may have been killed because his company makes billions of dollars in profits while denying life-saving medical coverage to Americans who are fed up with a broken healthcare system.

Ritholtz Wealth Management’s Josh Brown created a new index that tracks the most popular stocks in some of the hottest themes of the market . What To Know: Last Tuesday on " The Compound & Friends " podcast, Brown set the stage for unveiling the “Degen Dow.” “I think that if we were to make a list of the biggest themes of 2024, one of those themes would have been degeneracy,” Brown said. It’s tough to say precisely how the word “degen” came to be, but some believe it originates from the term “degenerate gambler” in sports betting and gambling culture, according to The Wall Street Journal. It’s also used by crypto traders and meme-stock traders who often make risky short-term bets based on momentum and steer clear of traditional ways of assessing investments. Brown put together a list of the top stocks used as trading vehicles by “degen” traders using platforms such as Robinhood, Stocktwits and Reddit’s WallStreetBets . The list includes high beta Bitcoin BTC/USD -related names, gaming and gambling companies, AI names, space theme plays, Cathie Wood favorites and president-elect Donald Trump -related stocks. “All the major degen food groups are represented,” Brown said. Here’s a look at all of the stocks that made it into the “Degen Dow.” Archer Aviation Inc ACHR AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc AMC Applovin Corp APP Coinbase Global Inc COIN Carvana Co CVNA Trump Media & Technology Group Corp DJT DraftKings Inc DKNG Flutter Entertainment Plc FLUT Geo Group Inc GEO GameStop Corp GME Hims & Hers Health, Inc HIMS Robinhood Markets, Inc HOOD Lucid Group, Inc LCID MARA Holdings, Inc MARA MicroStrategy Inc MSTR NVIDIA Corp NVDA PagerDuty, Inc PD Palantir Technologies Inc PLTR Roblox Corp RBLX Reddit, Inc RDDT Riot Platforms, Inc RIOT Rivian Automotive, Inc RIVN Rocket Lab USA, Inc RKLB Rumble Inc RUM Super Micro Computer Inc SMCI SoFi Technologies, Inc SOFI SoundHound AI, Inc SOUN Tesla, Inc TSLA Unity Software Inc U Vistra Corp VST Why It Matters: Brown equal-weighted the basket of stocks in the index to track performance. The index actually declined more than 80% from the highs in late 2021, but it has formed a base and appears to be breaking out to the upside with gains of nearly 50% since the start of the year. “Look how it’s like turning up ... this thing is ripping into year-end,” Brown said, to which his co-host Michael Batnick replied, “I want to get long.” Brown noted Nvidia and Reddit are the only two names on the list he currently owns.

It’s official: Dodgers sign Blake Snell for 5 years, $182 millionApple TV and HomePod mini reportedly get Apple’s custom Wi-Fi chip in 2025NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Saints quarterback Derek Carr was willing to risk his health to improve New Orleans’ chances of playing meaningful football in mid-December. Now the Saints, who’ve remained mathematically alive in the playoff race by winning three of four, might have to play without Carr again — and it didn’t go well the last time. Saints interim coach Darren Rizzi declined on Monday to rule out Carr for any of New Orleans' final four games because of his injured non-throwing hand or his concussion . Both injuries occurred when he tried to leap for a first down and crashed hard to the turf during the fourth quarter of New Orleans' 14-11 victory over the reeling New York Giants on Sunday. “We’re not going to rule him out just yet,” Rizzi said. “We have to see in the next day or two what the healing process is like and see if he can function. “The good news it’s not his throwing hand,” Rizzi said. “The bad news is we’re obviously dealing with an injury here that we have to kind of play it by ear.” Rizzi noted that Carr must clear the concussion protocol first. After that, he said, the Saints can see how well Carr can operate with his hand injury. “It's been done before,” Rizzi said when asked about the prospect of an NFL QB playing with an injured non-throwing hand. “It appears at moment that it's non-surgical, which is a big aspect of it. ... That's why we're going to discuss the options.” Last season, Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert played with a fractured finger on his non-throwing hand . Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen has played part of this season with an injured non-throwing hand . If Carr can't play, his replacement will be either second-year pro Jake Haener or rookie Spencer Rattler. Rattler started three games earlier this season when Carr had an oblique injury — all losses by New Orleans, which was in the midst of a seven-game skid. “We've just got to surround whomever it is and pick him up and get him rolling with the rest of us,” guard Lucas Patrick said. “It's just another step of adversity in this long season that we’ve had.” What’s working New Orleans' interior defensive line is coming off one of its better games. Defensive tackles Bryan Bresee and Khalen Saunders accounted for both New Orleans' sacks in New York. The Saints also held the Giants to 112 yards rushing — a lower opponent rushing total than in seven other games this season. What needs help The Saints' 92 yards rushing offensively was their fourth-lowest total all season and the lowest in any of their victories. Stock up Running back Kendre Miller's future is looking a bit brighter now. He has played in just three games this season because of hamstring injuries and his lack of readiness was criticized by since-fired coach Dennis Allen earlier this season. Miller also has yet to rush for more than 36 yards in a game. But against the Giants, he earned praise for the speed, strength and elusiveness he was able to show on a couple of clutch runs, including an 8-yard run for his first and only touchdown this season. Patrick said Miller deserved credit on his scoring run for staying upright and continuing to push forward — with the help of some teammates — after he was met at the 5-yard line by a Giants defender. Patrick said if Miller didn't give the extra effort and stay on his feet, his teammates would not have had the chance to help push him across the goal line. “Kendre's definitely a bright, young runner and he's exciting to block for,” Patrick said. Stock down Blake Grupe was 0 for 2 on field goal attempts, although both were from beyond 50 yards and one was blocked. Those were Grupe's first two failures from beyond 50 yards this season. Injuries In addition to Carr, reserve linebacker D’Marco Jackson left Sunday's game with an ankle injury. Key number 0 — The number of games the Saints have won when Carr does not play. They've gone 5-5 in his starts this season. Next steps The Saints are back home Sunday against Washington in what could be ex-New Orleans cornerback Marshon Lattimore's first game with the Commanders. The game also marks the return to Louisiana of quarterback Jayden Daniels, who won the Heisman Troply last year at LSU. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
The Syro-Malabar Church has said that the suspension of a young priest, who allegedly slighted the vicar of Mar Sleeva Forane Church, Manjapra, in front of a large gathering of the faithful during a Mass recently is in keeping with the Church laws and slammed the protest against the suspension calling it “orchestrated”. “A group of priests, with the support of anti-Church forces are protesting against the official Church action. But the faithful will reject the protest,” said Father Antony Vadakkekara, spokesman for the Church here on Saturday (November 30). “It is common practice that those who err are corrected through punitive action. It is, therefore, important that the Ernakulam-Angamaly archdiocese is spared more shaming in public through uncalled protests. The priests and organisations involved in the protest must turn back from their course of action,” said Father Vadakkekara. The spokesman also said that when priests, who were bound by the vow of obedience were breaching discipline. They not only plunge their souls into peril but also set a bad example for the faithful. The official Church statement came in the wake of a call by the rebel group of priests in the archdiocese for public protest against the suspension of the priest. There would be public protest if the “unjust” suspension was not withdrawn, said Father Jose Vailikodath, spokesman for Athiroopatha Samrakshana Samithi, the rebel group. The statement claimed that Father Jeff Pozheliparambil, assistant vicar of the Manjapra Forane, was suspended without even being issued a show-cause notice. If the suspension is not withdrawn by December 3, the priests’ group and the lay people would come out in protest against apostolic administrator Bosco Puthur and the archdiocesan curia, it said. Father Sebastian Thalian, convenor of the rebel priests’ forum, said the apostolic administrator and the curia had become laughing stocks through their actions.

With the recent $53 million acquisition of a 1.6-acre site in East Edgewater, the project signals a bold step forward not just for the developers but for Miami itself. Tower 36, which is set to redefine the skyline, will be the Group’s third tower in East Edgewater and its fifth major contribution to Downtown Miami. A Strategic Location for a Transformative Vision Perched at the nexus of East Edgewater and Miami’s Design District, the newly acquired site spans 3601 Biscayne Boulevard, 345 NE 36th Street, and 409 NE 36th Street. This prime location connects some of Miami’s most vibrant neighborhoods: Midtown, Wynwood, Downtown, and Miami Beach. Its seamless connectivity positions the project as a gateway to the city’s cultural and economic epicenters. Tower 36 will be far more than a high-rise; it will embody the ethos of One Thousand Group’s development philosophy. Designed by the internationally acclaimed KPF Architects, the project promises to deliver a mixed-use urban oasis. Branded residences, retail and commercial spaces, a private members’ club, and an array of culinary and wellness amenities will converge to create a lifestyle-focused destination. To top it all off, the signature rooftop helipad and heli-lounge, reminiscent of the Group’s iconic One Thousand Museum, will crown the tower. A Visionary Team Shaping the Future “This marks an exciting new chapter for Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood,” said Kevin Venger, co-founder of One Thousand Group. Having witnessed Edgewater’s evolution since 2005, Venger and his team are uniquely positioned to continue its transformation into a premier urban locale. The development’s proximity to the Design District’s culinary and retail scene, coupled with walkable green spaces, underscores its strategic appeal. Michael Konig, also a co-founder, emphasized the project’s significance: “Tower 36 represents a pivotal step in Edgewater’s emergence as one of Miami’s most sought-after neighborhoods.” With unmatched visibility and connectivity, the project aims to set a new benchmark for mixed-use living in Miami. The architectural vision, helmed by KPF’s Robert Whitlock and Lloyd Sigal, integrates sustainable design, cutting-edge technology, and urban walkability. By embracing a wellness-centered approach and incorporating transient living options, Tower 36 reflects both global trends and Miami’s local vibrancy. A Legacy of Excellence The One Thousand Group’s reputation precedes it. From the ultra-luxurious One Thousand Museum to the under-construction Villa Miami, the team has consistently delivered projects that challenge conventions and push boundaries. With over $8 billion in delivered value, nearly 20,000 residential units, and over 10 million square feet of developed space, the Group’s impact on Miami’s urban landscape is undeniable. “Our focus is on creating unique and innovative buildings that not only exemplify design excellence but also embrace sustainability and cutting-edge technology,” noted Louis Birdman, another co-founder of One Thousand Group. Tower 36’s design underscores this commitment to innovation and quality. A Bright Future for Miami As Miami’s real estate market continues to thrive, projects like Tower 36 underscore the city’s global allure. By fusing architectural brilliance with urban connectivity, One Thousand Group is not just building towers—it’s shaping communities and redefining what it means to live and thrive in Miami.As the Canada Post strike involving more than 55,000 workers neared the end of its 25th day, the postal service warned that a speedy resolution is unlikely. In a statement Monday, Canada Post said the latest proposals from the union widen the gap between the two parties. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers provided details on those demands Monday. They include wage increases, a cost of living allowance, and more job protections. The union said in a bulletin to members that it's calling on Canada Post to seriously consider its proposals, adding that the latest proposal includes demands voted on by members across the country. The strike began Nov. 14, and federal mediation was put on hold nearly two weeks ago due to the sides being too far apart. Calls for government intervention have been mounting from the business community, but so far the government has said it’s not stepping in. The federal government has intervened in other high-profile labour disputes recently by advising the labour board to order binding arbitration. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 9, 2024. The Canadian Press
North Korean nationals indicted in scheme using IT workers to funnel money for weapons programsM&S SHOPPERS are gutted after the chain confirmed it axed a beloved festive flavoured liqueur. The announcement was made in a comment by the retailing giant on social media platform X . M&S had previously sold its Trifle Flavour Cream in stores and it had amassed a loyal following of fans. The drink had been popular for many years before it seemingly disappeared from shelves. However, a comment on X by M&S earlier this week confirmed the liqueur would not be on sale this year. In response to a post asking the retailing giant if it would be stocking the drink, the chain said: "It doesn't look like we're doing the trifle flavour this year. Read More on Christmas "I'll let the Food Team know you'd like to see this again." In a Facebook post from 2020 about the drink , commenters laid praise on the unique drink's flavour. One user described the drink as "very nice", while another said how they "need this" in their life. The liqueur appears to have disappeared from shelves sometime in 2021, with regular posts on X calling for its return. Most read in Money In response to a query in October 2021, the retailer said it did not "appear to be stocking it this year". However, for almost every year since, fans have begged to be able to purchase the drink again, only to receive the same response from M&S that it won't be stocked . One user even described it has their "highlight of Christmas", While it was still stocked, it received heavy praise from its wide range of fans. One user on Instagram described the "delicious" drink as "a bit like Baileys, only fruity, desserty, and boozy." Another on X said: "Loving my purchase of M&S trifle liqueur - it will get me through to Xmas". In 2022, a third said: "A couple of years ago M&S produced a trifle flavoured cream liqueur at Christmas and it was the most delicious thing. "Have been trying to find an acceptable substitute since!" 'CHRISTMAS RUINED' This comes as the retailer axed another festive favourite from its shelves. The popular treat had only been in stores for a few short weeks but has already disappeared leaving them devastated. Customers were baffled when they went on the hunt for M&S Chocolate Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Rolls and the goodie was no where to be seen. One confused shopper penned a plea to the store which read: "Please don’t break my heart so close to Christmas.... Your chocolate and cinnamon tortilla rolls have disappeared from our local store and I can’t find them online. "Say they’ll be back on the shelves again soon." A company spokesperson wrote back: "I'm truly sorry - we're no longer making these! "We'll let the food team know that you (and me and my mum) would love to see them make a return. "Fingers crossed."

Syria’s prime minister said that most cabinet ministers were back at work on Monday after rebels overthrew President Bashar Assad. However, some state workers failed to return to their jobs and a United Nations official said the country’s public sector had come “to a complete and abrupt halt”. Meanwhile, streams of refugees crossed back into Syria from neighbouring countries, hoping for a more peaceful future and looking for relatives who disappeared during Mr Assad’s brutal rule. The alliance is led by a former senior al-Qaida militant, who severed ties with the extremist group years ago and has promised representative government and religious tolerance. The rebel command said they would not tell women how to dress. “It is strictly forbidden to interfere with women’s dress or impose any request related to their clothing or appearance, including requests for modesty,” the command said in a statement on social media. Nearly two days after rebels entered the capital, some key government services had shut down after state workers ignored calls to go back to their jobs, the UN official said, causing issues at airports and borders and slowing the flow of humanitarian aid. Mr Jalali stayed in Syria when Mr Assad fled and has sought to project normalcy since. “We are working so that the transitional period is quick and smooth,” he told Sky News Arabia TV on Monday, saying the security situation had already improved from the day before. At the court of Justice in Damascus, which was stormed by the rebels to free detainees, Judge Khitam Haddad, an aide to the justice minister in the outgoing government, said that judges were ready to resume work quickly. “We want to give everyone their rights,” Mr Haddad said outside the courthouse. “We want to build a new Syria and to keep the work, but with new methods.” But a UN official said some government services had been paralysed as worried state employees stayed at home. The public sector “has just come to a complete and abrupt halt,” said Adam Abdelmoula, UN resident and humanitarian co-ordinator for Syria, noting, for example, that an aid flight carrying urgently needed medical supplies had been put on hold after aviation employees abandoned their jobs. “I think it will take a couple of days and a lot of assurance on the part of the armed groups for these people to return to work again.” In a video shared on a rebel messaging channel, Mr al-Sharaa said: “You will see there are skills” among the rebels. The Kremlin said Russia has granted political asylum to Mr Assad, a decision made by President Vladimir Putin. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov declined to comment on Mr Assad’s specific whereabouts and said Mr Putin did not plan to meet with him. In public squares, some people were still celebrating. Civilian traffic resumed, but there was no public transport. Long lines formed in front of bakeries and other food stores. There was little sign of any security presence though in some areas, small groups of armed men were stationed in the streets.Expanded CFP field draws more bets and on more teamsUnited Airlines travelers with lost luggage have a new tool to track their bags.

After the report has been submitted, customer service agents will be able to locate the item on an interactive map alongside a timestamp of a recent update. The shared location will be disabled after a customer has the bag, and customers can also stop sharing the location of the item at any time on their own. The location link will also automatically expire after seven days. Using AirTags or other tracking devices on luggage is increasingly popular among frequent travelers, with a significant boom following the 2022 Southwest Airlines holiday meltdown , which displaced thousands of travelers over Christmas and into 2023, alongside much of their belongings. United says lost bags are rare, with more than 99% of its customers arriving with their bags. It says the new technology will help those with lost bags to recover them more quickly because the airline will have more information about them. Apple previously announced the new service will also be integrated at other air carriers, including Delta Air Lines. Others include Aer Lingus, Air Canada, Air New Zealand, Austrian Airlines, British Airways, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings, Iberia, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Lufthansa, Qantas, Singapore Airlines, Swiss International Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Virgin Atlantic and Vueling.
