The International Air Transport Association (IATA) this week predicted airlines would amass further losses in 2021 as they drop airfares as low as possible in an attempt to win back business. Forecasts predict the airline industry will lose NZ$153 billion in 2021. International passenger numbers are predicted to drop to 2.25 billion this year before rising to 3.38 billion in 2021, which will still be more than 25 percent below 2019's number.

Old school CD radio player
Hi every hope everyone is well and the weekend is going even better. I'm just on the look out for an old school CD radio player if anyone has one . With all cords attached aswell as speakers , preferably as one unit. Needing one for my step son who is currently in prison. This is the only type of radio that maybe accepted. A while ago sent one in but the cord wasn't attached and wasn't accepted.. anyway thanks
