Now is the time to strike Iran deal, says John Kerry

VIENNA: US Secretary of State John Kerry said Sunday it was “now time” to seal a historic nuclear deal with Iran as ministers were flying back to Vienna ahead of a looming deadline. Addressing reporters, Kerry stressed that after almost two years of negotiations and on the ninth day of these latest talks “genuine progress” had been made. But upping the pressure after three meetings just alone on Sunday with his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif, he warned the fate of the negotiations still swung in the balance and “could go either way.” The foreign ministers of France, Germany, Russia and Britain were expected back in the Austrian capital later Sunday, with their Chinese counterpart possibly due on Monday. “I want to be absolutely clear with everybody, we are not yet where we need to be on several of the most difficult issues,” Kerry said, standing at a podium in the searing sun, his crutches due to a broken leg by his side. If all sides were prepared to make hard choices, then “we could get an agreement this week. But if they are not made, we will not,” Kerry warned, adding that if there was “absolute intransigence” the US would walk away. The global powers — Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States — are trying to pin down a deal putting a nuclear bomb out of Iran’s reach in return for lifting a web of sanctions against the Islamic republic. On one of the thorniest issues — choreographing the nuclear steps to be taken by Iran in exchange for reciprocal sanctions relief — a compromise may be emerging, at least among experts thrashing out the complex final accord. “There are still differences,” an Iranian official insisted, however, while a Western diplomat said on UN sanctions — as opposed to EU and US ones — there was “no agreement yet”. The deal between Iran and the P5+1 would end a standoff dating back to 2002 when dissidents first revealed undeclared nuclear facilities in Iran. Officials have stressed all week that th …

IndiGo hikes pilot salaries by 8% and cabin crew by 16% on average: Report

MUMBAI: India’s biggest airline by marketshare IndiGo has hiked salaries of its pilots by 8% and cabin crew by 16% on average, maintaining a gap between itself and its rivals, said a source in the know. Now a first officer will get Rs 2.61 lakh monthly for flying his stipulated 50 hours. He can get Rs 3.3 lakh if he flies for 90 hours. A senior first officer will get Rs 3.75 lakh for 70 hours of flying which can go up to Rs 4.3 lakh if he does 90 hours. A captain will get Rs 6.01 lakh for 70 hours and over Rs 7 lakh for 90 hours. A cabin attendant will get Rs 31,000, a senior cabin attendant Rs 40,000, a lead cabin attendant Rs 60,000 and the check crew Rs 90,000 for flying 40 hours. Bonuses for 90 hours will range between Rs 45,000 to more than Rs 1 lakh. IndiGo, which is soon to list on the bourses has a fleet of 97 planes and 1,448 pilots. “Earlier this year, the airline gave an annual crew bonus to its pilots and flight attendants. That was the 5th year in a row. Out of 8 years of its existence IndiGo has paid crew bonuses in 7,” said the person who didn’t want to be named. Aside of the price war in the skies, airlines have been trying to match each others salaries too, especially to its crew to match rivals. In May, SpiceJet increased salaries by 10% for pilots that fly its Boeing 737 planes and 20% for those who fly the Bombardier Q400 planes to “close the gap with rivals,” a second person the know said. Go Air’s management recently wrote to its employees saying it saying it will soon match their salaries with peers in the industry, a third source said. Go Air, gives a higher bonus than its rivals for pilots who fly overtime. That may decrease, he added.

China curbs IPOs, enlists brokers in all-out bid to end market rout

BEIJING/SHANGHAI: Beijing intensified efforts at the weekend to pull China’s stock markets out of a nose-dive that is threatening the world’s second-largest economy, with top brokerages pledging to buy massive amounts of shares and a report that the government has set up a market stabilisation fund. Beijing has also suspended new share offers in an attempt to take pressure off the market after a 30 per cent plunge in three weeks, the Wall Street Journal said. The reported suspension of initial public offers (IPOs) came a few hours after extraordinary announcements by major brokers and fund managers, which collectively pledged to invest at least $19 billion of their own money into stocks. China’s government, regulators and financial institutions are now waging a concerted campaign to prop up the nation’s stock markets, amid fears that a meltdown would rock the financial system and inflict heavy losses across an economy where annual growth is already running at a 24-year low. Almost $3 trillion in market value – more than the entire economic output of Brazil – has been wiped out since markets went into reverse just a few weeks ago, posing a bigger headache for many global investors than even the Greek debt crisis. The main Shanghai Composite Index has lost nearly a third of its value since mid-June, a dramatic end to an equally breathtaking rally that saw it more than double in just seven months, fuelled by official interest-rate cuts. The sell-off is especially worrying because the bull market had been built on a mountain of speculative loans. Some analysts suggest total margin lending, both formal and informal, could add up to around 4 trillion yuan ($645 billion). China’s stock markets are dominated by retail investors, and a full-blown collapse could fuel fears of panic. State TV said on Sunday police had detained a man who allegedly spread rumours about people jumping off buildings after the share crash. Repeated attempts by regulators over the last week …

Mehair to launch Nashik-Pune flight service from tomorrow

NASHIK: Seaplane service operator Mehair will launch its first flight service between Nashik and Pune tomorrow after it had to suspend its earlier launch due to inclement weather. The company had scheduled its earlier launch on June 15. However, it was postponed “owning to heavy rains coupled with very strong winds in Mumbai on June 14, which resulted in moisture ingress into the aircraft,” the company had said. “That was a one off incident. We are confident of operating the service seamlessly. This service will prove to be a boon to the people travelling between Nashik and Pune as the current road journey of 6-7 hrs will be reduced to a mere 50 mins of comfortable flying,” Mehair Co-Founder and Director Siddharth Verma said. The first nine seater Cessna 208B plane service will take off at 9.45 AM and will reach Pune airport in 50 minutes and one time air-tariff is Rs 5,999 while the return journey fares are fixed at Rs 8,999 till July 31. Initially Nashik-Pune air service will be operated from Monday to Thursday twice in a day. The company is planning to start “joy rides” during Friday to Sunday, for Nashikites on minimum air fares. From August 1, the company will increase the fares to Rs 6,499 for one way and Rs 9,499 for return trip.
