As the war in Iran continues to roil world oil markets, Singapore has delayed the rollout of its sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) levy, pushing back a plan that would have added a new charge to tickets sold for departing flights later in 2026. The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) said on March 25, 2026, that the levy will now apply to tickets and services sold from October 1, 2026, for flights departing from January 1, 2027.

However, the European satellite Sentinel-2, using Short-Wave Infra-Red (SWIR) imagery, showed a heat signature at the same location on Mar. 27.…

Specifically, it’s now a criminal offense to refuse to give Hong Kong police the passwords or decryption assistance to access all personal electronic devices, including mobile phones and laptops.

From 2023 (YouTune Edition): Bureaucrats Endeavor to Curb Bureaucracy The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has launched upgrades to its online database system—an historically flawed tangle of abstruse redundancies that archives, ostensibly, airspace obstructions, runway data, and other data the agency considers safety-critical, as well as non-safety critical data the likes of airport layout plan mapping. Data contained in the FAA’s online database is generated by contractors, airport authorities, and other stakeholders in the businesses of airport infrastructure and operations. Subject data is salient to the aims of the FAA’s Flight Procedures Office (FPO), which is tasked with maintaining flight procedures…
