The practice of using dynamic pricing, or selling award seats as a function of demand or retail market price, is spreading into Europe. Last week, Lufthansa confirmed that it would be the first carrier to adopt the model for its Miles & More loyalty program later this year, though it wouldn’t share an exact timeline. Lufthansa follows Delta and now United, which launched its own dynamic plans last month. Passenger feedback on dynamic pricing has been mixed. <br/>

EgyptAir decided to suspend its current flights scheduled for Sudanese capital, Khartoum over ‘latest developments’. The decisions comes as a result of the ongoing clashes and public rage taking place in the capital, following a violent dispersal for a sit-in by security forces in Khartoum, earlier Monday. The Egyptian flag carrier issued a statement explaining that flight No. MS 855 scheduled to depart from Cairo International Airport to Khartoum International Airport on Monday at 04:00 P.M was canceled, “to the ongoing developments in Sudan”. EgyptAir Integrated Operation Center is following up the situation in Sudan to stay abreast of any developments in the southern neighboring country, the company added in its statement. Earlier, Egypt has called upon Sudanese parties to exercise restraint after nine protesters were killed as a result of the violent dispersal. Egypt urged all parties to return to the negotiating table and dialogue. <br/>
