The airline, the operator of the Boeing plane that suffered a mid-air cabin blowout in January, also reported a smaller loss in the first quarter, despite a $162 million impact from the more-than-two-week grounding of its 737 MAX 9 aircraft.

Former ECB president Mario Draghi, mandated by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to come up with proposals to revitalise the EU's economy, is expected to echo the same sentiments in a report due in June.
