Corporate Bits | Wynn Macau donates to holy house of mercy

Wynn Macau donated MOP 300,000 to Macau Holy House of Mercy’s (SCMM) Welfare Shop Project to finance the distribution of food hampers to 355 underprivileged families.
In a bid to create a harmonious society, the resort has been supporting local charitable organizations and the SCMM’s Welfare Shop specifically for the fourth consecutive year.
According to Wynn’s press release, some 30 volunteers from the resort took part in the food hamper distribution, handing out hampers that included daily necessities. The property also handed out MOP100 supermarket vouchers to each household.
The SCMM Welfare Shop’s project was launched in 2013 with the aim of assisting underprivileged families by providing them with basic food and daily necessities to alleviate the burden caused by inflation and increased cost of living.
The property has donated a total of MOP1.1 million over four years in support of this project.

airbus says much-delayed a400m military plane ‘worth waiting for’

Boeing Co. gave its strongest hint yet that it will soon develop its first all-new passenger aircraft since the 787 Dreamliner.
The U.S. planemaker is honing designs for a mid-range plane to whisk travelers from New York to London, Sydney to Shanghai or Dubai to Oslo. Billions of dollars of investment would be required, but the aircraft would fill the gap in its product line between the largest single-aisle 737 and smallest widebody 787 – a relatively untapped market where Airbus Group SE is starting to extend its reach.
Boeing estimates that sales of middle-of-market jets could reach between 4,000 and 5,000 and the company would be poised to capitalize, provided it can keep production costs in check and prices reasonable, said Mike Delaney, general manager of airplane development. He used the term “when,” not “if,” while discussing the prospects for the new aircraft family, which would begin commercial flights next decade.
