Dassault Aviation’s Falcon 10X program will now move toward its next big milestone, flight testing, after a glitzy unveiling of the long-awaited business jet in Bordeaux-Mérignac.

For the last international segment of my Iceland to The Residence via Cambodia trip, I flew Aer Lingus’ Airbus A330-300 business class on the 6hr20min flight from Dublin (DUB) to Boston (BOS). It had been some time since I flew Aer Lingus’ wide body business class, so I was looking forward to seeing how it was holding up. I’d say that Aer Lingus’ transatlantic business class is squarely middle of the pack, and that’s probably a good place to be. Everything is pretty good, but not much is great. Given Aer Lingus’ positioning within the IAG portfolio (which also includes British…

Digitization was the warm-up. Orchestration is the main event. By 2026, booking air cargo digitally isn’t impressive. It’s expected. Acceptance rates are up. Cancellations are down. APIs are faster. The pipes work. Now the pressure has shifted. Because forwarders aren’t just booking more digitally – they’re booking more strategically. And that changes everything. The Great Diversification Between 2021 and 2026, the average forwarder expanded their active carrier pool by as much as 180%. That’s not incremental growth. That’s structural diversification. Europe moved fastest. In Germany, the average largest share of bookings per forwarder flowing to a single carrier dropped from…

The rise in remote work has transformed how millions of people earn a living, with digital nomads and remote employees increasingly finding themselves working from multiple countries each month. However, despite advances in cloud technology and collaboration tools, one fundamental challenge remains: reliable and affordable international connection. Traditional international roaming charges can easily exceed $2,000 annually for frequent travelers, with daily rates often ranging from $10-15 per day in major destinations. But the problem extends beyond cost. Remote workers frequently report productivity losses due to connection delays, security concerns with public Wi-Fi, and the administrative burden of managing multiple data…

South Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has cut construction costs and approved improper airport safety structures for over two decades, a state audit has found, according to a report by The Chosun Sun.  The devastating Jeju Air crash claimed 179 lives at Muan International Airport (MWX) in December 2024. Concrete mound built to save costs, despite risks  To save on the expenses of reshaping the terrain, the ministry approved the construction of a concrete mound to raise the localizer above the runway in 2003 without conducting a proper risk assessment, the Board of Audit and Inspection (BAI) said…

For the next sector of my Iceland to The Residence via Cambodia trip, it was time to fly Aer Lingus’ A321LR AerSpace on the 80-minute flight from Paris (CDG) to Dublin (DUB). For those not familiar, AerSpace is Aer Lingus’ premium seating on regional flights. In terms of soft product, AerSpace is nothing exciting, as you just get a free drink and snack from the buy on board menu. What’s different is the hard product, and that differs greatly between planes. If you fly in AerSpace on an A320, you simply get a seat in the first row with a blocked…
