UK airports seek government aid
Airports are calling for government assistance after revenues fell to almost nothing, according to the Airport Operators Association.

Karen Dee, the trade body's chief executive, says even though commercial demand has dried up, airports still have to stay open for medical, military and freight flights.

The government's furlough scheme can only ease pressure to a limited extent, she adds, since staff are needed to operate the airports.

"The key thing about airports, we are safety critical businesses and about 70-80% of the cost of running an airport are fixed," she says.

"That doesn't change whether it is one flight coming in or 100 flights.

Ms Dee called on the government to adjust the current support schemes so they could "better suit the airports needs" and called for "targeted support" so airports could preserve expenditure.

UK's biggest banks face pressure to axe dividends
The UK's biggest banks are facing pressure to cancel or delay big dividend payouts to investors to make sure they have the resources to keep struggling business afloat during the coronavirus crisis.

Britain's biggest banks - Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, RBS and Standard Chartered – are due to pay out £15.3billion in dividends, a figure which exceeds the amount paid in 2007, just before the financial crisis, according to research by investment platform AJ Bell.

Half of that money is due to be paid out to investors in the coming weeks - but both small shareholders and big City investors face disappointment.

The FTSE 100 came flying out the gate on Tuesday, with markets buoyed by confirmation that China's economy is starting its recovery from the virus induced shutdown as it registered positive PMI figures.

Global mergers and acquisitions activity plunged 28 per cent in the first quarter to its lowest level since 2016 as the devastating economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic took hold in March, compounding a slow start to the year for dealmakers.
