The U.S. Army plans to increase partnerships with private industry and boost its own manufacturing capacity to field at least one million drones within the next two to three years, an Army spokesperson told Military Times.

Delta Air Lines is a major operator of aircraft from the Airbus A220 family. Formerly known as the Bombardier CSeries, this popular family of twinjet narrowbodies consists of two passenger-carrying variants, the smaller A220-100 and the larger A220-100, and such is Delta’s love of the type that it flies both models.

The son of a German immigrant father, Huchthausen was a rising star in the field of architecture. His strong grasp of design principles and enthusiasm for history brought him accolades for his work and professional success.…

Thousands of flights have been cancelled or delayed across the United States, as the country continues to feel the pinch after the U.S Secretary of Transportation took the unprecedented steps to shave up to 10% of all scheduled flights to release the pressure put on air traffic controllers during the federal government shutdown. Domestic flights around the country have been cancelled at the top 40 busiest airports, since they have been grappling with air traffic control and aviation security staff shortages, due to them either calling in sick, or taking alternative means of income following their expectation to work without…

The Memorandum of Understanding envisages both companies combining their complementary capabilities in development of unmanned systems and exploring new market opportunities. Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI or TUSAŞ – Türk Havacılık ve Uzay Sanayi A.Ş.) and U.K. arms major BAE Systems signed on Nov. 6, 2025 an MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) to jointly develop unmanned aerial systems. Neither company has mentioned the specific role and class of unmanned systems to be developed, or if they have already identified an existing uncrewed platform from TAI’s existing product line for use within Turkey. The latter is likely, given that both companies have stressed…

Sweden and Ukraine are making progress on financing a potential multi-billion-crown deal that could see Kyiv acquire up to 150 Saab JAS 39 Gripen E fighters, Swedish Defense Minister Pål Jonson told Reuters on November 6, 2025.  The two governments are exploring a range of funding mechanisms that could combine Ukrainian payments with Swedish military assistance and multilateral support. If finalized, the package would represent Sweden’s largest aircraft order to date.  Financing under discussion  Sweden and Ukraine signed a long-term air defense cooperation agreement on October 22, 2025, which includes the option to export the Gripen fighter jet. The letter of intent outlines a framework for between 100 and 150 aircraft, a scale that would roughly double Saab’s current…

In recent times, I’ve been writing a series about some of the world’s small luxury hotel groups, including Airelles, Aman, BVLGARI, Cheval Blanc, Oetker, One&Only, Ritz-Carlton Reserve, etc. One brand that I haven’t covered much is Capella Hotels & Resorts, so in this post, I’d like to take a look at that.

The brand is heavily focused on Asia-Pacific, but we’ll finally see the brand expand beyond that in the next couple of years, and I can’t wait to see how that plays out.…
