Aurigny aircraft damaged after 'tail strike'
An Aurigny aircraft has been taken out of service following a "tail strike", a spokesperson for the airline has said.
They added the airline's engineering team and partners were examining the aircraft G-PEMB to assess damage sustained when the tail of the plane hit the runway on 15 April, and determine the timeline for its safe return to service.
The spokesperson said Aurigny would be "implementing additional aircraft resilience measures" through leasing after the incident.
They added: "We remain committed to maintaining a reliable and safe service for our customers."
Last week, an Aurigny spokesperson said: "We can confirm that there was a harder than normal landing in the gusty weather conditions as one of our flights arrived at Guernsey Airport yesterday [15 April]."
The airline said no one was injured.
Aircraft G-PEMB joined the Aurigny fleet in July after the airline had previously sold its only jet.

Why Oil Prices Are Jumping After OPEC Increased Production
Global oil prices rallied hard on Monday, lifting U.S. crude to the highest levels in two weeks, as investors shrugged off a planned supply increase from the OPEC+ cartel and focused on geopolitical news that could pressure energy markets over the coming months. The Ukraine attack may have also renewed concerns that President Volodymyr Zelensky could target Russia oil installations, a move that ING commodities strategist Warren Patterson said would 'change the outlook for the oil market drastically.' Multiple media reports also suggest that a bipartisan effort by Senators Lindsey Graham (R., South Carolina) and Richard Blumenthal (D., Conn.) to sanction countries that purchase Russian oil could be ready for this month's G-7 summit in Alberta, Canada.

Dai-ichi Life to acquire 15% stake in British insurer M&G
Dai-ichi Life Holdings has revealed plans to acquire a 15% stake in UK-based insurer M&G through on-market purchases 'to capture long-term value creation opportunities across an array of strategic initiatives'. The acquisition, subject to regulatory approvals, is part of a long-term strategic partnership between the two companies covering asset management and life insurance. Once the 15% threshold is reached and certain conditions are met, Dai-ichi will have the right to appoint a director to M&G's board. Under the terms, M&G will become Dai-ichi's preferred asset management partner in Europe. The partnership will focus on growth, distribution and product development, with the aim of generating new business flows for both companies. M&G expects the partnership to support its expansion into European private markets and open new business opportunities in Japan and Asia. Dai-ichi will gain access to M&G's investment capabilities across public and private markets to support its own portfolio and client needs, and will collaborate to enhance Dai-ichi's expertise in bulk purchase annuities. Dai-ichi Life HD president and CEO Tetsuya Kikuta said: 'Dai-ichi Life Holdings is delighted to enter into a strategic alliance with M&G, a highly regarded global player in the insurance and asset management industries, to collaborate and develop capabilities together in multiple areas, especially in Europe. 'We see our partnership with M&G acting as a spearhead to develop our presence across Europe and the UK, accelerating our strategy to become a global top-tier insurance group.' The partnership is expected to generate at least $6bn in flows into M&G funds over five years, with Dai-ichi expecting at least $2bn (Y285.83bn) in new flows through investments and distribution of its products. An implementation agreement outlines Dai-ichi Life HD's governance rights and includes restrictions such as a two-year lock-up, a 19.99% shareholding cap and an orderly market arrangement for share disposals. Commenting on the partnership, M&G Group CEO Andrea Rossi stated: 'It brings together two highly complementary international businesses with shared growth ambitions who aim to deliver excellent client service and sustainable shareholder returns.' In April, TAL, a subsidiary of Dai-ichi Life Holdings, agreed to acquire a 15.1% stake in retirement solutions provider Challenger for Y80bn.

Oil Prices Rise After Ukrainian Strikes on Russia
Instead of falling, Brent crude prices are up about 3% to start the week, at a shade under $65 a barrel. Prices are getting a boost from Ukraine's drone strikes on military airports inside Russia, analysts say, and a push by U.S. lawmakers to further cut off Russian oil from global markets. Meanwhile, Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal said over the weekend they aim to have tighter limitations in place on Russian oil by the G-7 summit in mid-June.
