Representative image. Jet Airways is in the process of finalising a new deal for its fleet and is expected to sign the deal in the next couple of weeks, multiple sources aware of the matter told Moneycontrol . “The timeline for delivery of planes is being finalised as the airline is very keen to start increasing its operations once it takes flight. Once the timelines are finalised, the deal will be signed and announced,” a senior company official said. He added that at the moment Jet Airways has not made a final decision on the type of aircraft it wants to procure and the contract is mostly going to depend on the manufacturer’s ability to deliver planes in a timely manner. “Jet Airways wants to start taking delivery of new planes by the end of 2023 or even before that and will look to take delivery of around 20 planes every year for the next four years,” an industry insider aware of the discussions said.

Hailey Bieber’s New Skincare Line Welcomed With Infringement Lawsuit
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Contributing author: Heather Antoine Updated Jun 30, 2022 at 5:13pm PT to include comments from RHODE representatives. In April of 2015, Kylie Jenner filed a trademark application for the mark “KYLIE” for “advertising services” and “endorsement services.” The application was intended to serve as a stepping stone ahead of Jenner’s launch of her cosmetics line. However, Kylie Minogue famously opposed Jenner’s trademark application, citing her ownership and use of Kylie.com, which sold clothes, perfumes, and other products marketed with her name since August of 1996 (a year before Jenner’s birth). The opposition was eventually withdrawn, and while it was not public, I can only assume a settlement was reached, leading to the 194 trademark applications and registrations currently owned by Jenner’s company, Kylie Jenner, Inc. Lesson learned, right? Wrong. On June 15, 2022, model and socialite Hailey Bieber officially … [Read more...] about Hailey Bieber’s New Skincare Line Welcomed With Infringement Lawsuit
Why Companies Like JSX Are Making Travel Easier For Autistic Individuals
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin A few years back, JSX CEO Alex Wilcox was on a business trip when he encountered a family with a child on the autism spectrum. The child was so distraught by the sights, sounds, and overall airport experience that the family couldn't board the plane. Wilcox felt he could do something about this at JSX. After that encounter, Wilcox was dedicated to building on JSX's existing strengths by empowering crew members to serve people with autism and their families better, furthering the air carrier's mission of offering simple, joyful, and reliable air travel for all. Air Travel Can Be Difficult For Autistic People It was in 1990 that the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law. One of its goals was to make travel easier by requiring operators to offer accommodations, such as wheelchair lifts, airport shuttle service, and rental cars with hand controls. It also led to the rise of interpreters and closed captioning … [Read more...] about Why Companies Like JSX Are Making Travel Easier For Autistic Individuals

Flying Fourth of July weekend or later this summer? Pack your patience and this game plan. Y ou know travelers are in for a bumpy Fourth of July weekend when airlines and the U.S. government begin pointing fingers at each other in the days ahead of the holiday. For months, travelers have been dealing with above-normal levels of flight delays and cancellations, with airlines chopping more than 15% of scheduled summer flights due to staffing shortages and other operational issues. Unfortunately, experts see more of the same on the horizon. “Looking at the past few weeks, I don't think there's any reason to think that things are going to go especially smoothly this weekend,” says Scott Keyes, co-founder of Scott’s Cheap Flights , an airfare deals newsletter with more than two million subscribers. “With 11 million travelers expected to fly over July Fourth, we are expecting a busy holiday weekend and travelers should be prepared for potential disruptions,” says Hayley … [Read more...] about The Smart Traveler’s Survival Playbook For Summer Flight Cancellations

Airbus close to winning $5.5 billion order from Jet Airways
Airbus SE has emerged as the front-runner to win an order for as many as 50 aircraft worth up to $5.5 billion from Jet Airways India Ltd., people familiar with the matter said, solidifying the European planemaker’s hold in the world’s fastest-growing aviation market. The talks are for A320neo jets and A220 planes, the people said, asking not to be identified because the deliberations are private. Boeing Co. and Embraer SA are also in discussions and no final decision has been taken, the people said. Although at sticker prices any transaction would be north of $5 billion, discounts are common in such large purchases. While delivery slots are scarce, airlines can lease jets from lessors who buy in bulk. Representatives for Boeing and Airbus didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. The potential order comes as Jet Airways, once India’s top private airline, is preparing to return to the skies. Jet Airways got its flying license last month, marking the first time a … [Read more...] about Airbus close to winning $5.5 billion order from Jet Airways
Qantas to resume flights from Sydney to Bangkok and Phuket early 2022
Qantas Airways is gearing up to resume flights from Sydney to Bangkok and Phuket from early next year, with the Aussie airline keen to get the ball rolling as international travel restrictions are gradually being lifted. Sydney is set to see the resumption of regular routes in January, more than two months ahead of schedule, as both the federal and state governments have moved to pave the way for the reopening of international borders. The New South Wales government has confirmed that quarantine requirements for fully vaccinated arrivals will be removed from November 1. While ahead of schedule, it will nonetheless be a staged resumption of services, with the Australian government requiring that initial flights are limited to Australian citizens, permanent residents and their immediate families and parents. In the Covid-19 climate, however, any progress takes on additional significance, with Qantas CEO Alan Joyce labelling it “the best news we’ve had in almost two years”. Joyce added … [Read more...] about Qantas to resume flights from Sydney to Bangkok and Phuket early 2022
How To Spend The Perfect Long Summer Weekend In Detroit
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin This time of year, Americans usually beeline to spots with some sort of nature component like Yellowstone, Maui, and Ocean City. But why not steer clear of the crowds this summer, and consider an urban destination with outdoor appeal like Detroit ? Because while most people identify Michigan’s biggest city with its automotive roots and as the birthplace of Motown, Motor City brims with plentiful recreational, cultural, and culinary offerings. It’s a unique midwestern metropolis that’s ever-evolving, refreshingly diverse – Detroit is the country’s biggest majority-Black city – and sits along the Detroit River, which forms an international border between Canada and the U.S. On top of that, Detroit couldn’t be any easier to get to since it’s a hub of Delta Airlines. Ahead, even more reasons why Detroit makes for a smart, yet under-the-radar destination right now.

Trump’s ‘Chinese Virus’ Tweet Helped Fuel Anti-Asian Hate On Twitter, Study Finds
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline A tweet by former President Donald Trump referring to Covid-19 as the “Chinese Virus” was linked with a rise in anti-Asian content on Twitter, new research has found, as demands across the U.S. grow for urgent action to be taken to address soaring levels of hate crime and violence against Asian Americans during the pandemic that many blame on harmful rhetoric used by politicians. Key Facts A March 2020 tweet by then-President Trump that referred to Covid-19 as “the Chinese virus” led anti-Asian hashtags on the platform to rise “precipitously,” according to a new study published by the University of California, San Francisco. In the days before and after Trump’s tweet, the researchers examined 700,000 tweets containing more than 1.2 million anti-Asian hashtags, which the researchers said are known to be a predictor of hate crimes and the formation of hate groups. Trump’s March 16 tweet, which has … [Read more...] about Trump’s ‘Chinese Virus’ Tweet Helped Fuel Anti-Asian Hate On Twitter, Study Finds
Opinion: Don’t be fooled by Boris Johnson’s backing of Ukraine
Sam Kiley is CNN's Senior International Correspondent. The views expressed in this commentary are his own. View more opinion on CNN. Kharkiv (CNN) For a man so schooled in Sophistry that truth has no meaning, it's hard to imagine more meaningful words from British Prime Minister Boris Johnson than when he warned that "the consequences for the world are absolutely catastrophic" if Russian President Vladimir Putin's war machine prevailed in Ukraine. He's absolutely right about that. Right too when he described Ukraine as being on a "knife-edge" during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the G7 summit in Bavaria this week. Which is odd. Because Johnson has two things in common with Putin that serve the Russian president's strategic aims far more than his support for Ukraine threatens them. Ukrainians are dying for the right to join the European Union -- an international body Johnson fought to leave, and that Putin's worked hard to … [Read more...] about Opinion: Don’t be fooled by Boris Johnson’s backing of Ukraine
