The #NMIAReadyToFly Is not merely a second airport for... Mumbai! it is the closest global cargo gateway yet for Pune’s industrial powerhouse. Think about the scale of what this changes: • Pune–Chakan–Ranjangaon belt = India’s largest auto & engineering hub • Massive clusters in EVs, components, precision engineering, pharma & electronics • Today, exports fight congestion + time-loss through a saturated Mumbai airport • NMIA now creates a reliable, high-throughput cargo corridor ~120 km away • Built to scale cargo handling from 0.5 million → 3+ million tonnes annually For manufacturers, this means: Faster export turnarounds, lower logistics friction, stronger global competitiveness. This is not just an airport launch. It is the moment Western India quietly becomes one of Asia’s most powerful logistics + manufacturing ecosystems. Well done Adani Group and Gautam Adani Sir! Many Congratulations! 🙌🏻show more

NFF COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT 20 Points of a 20-hour ordeal... on Libyan soil . NFF’s Director of Communications, Dr Ademola Olajire, provides a point-by-point account of how a keenly-anticipated Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match was relegated to a fiasco by Libyan federal authorities and Football Federation 1) The chartered ValueJet aircraft departed from the Victor Attah International Airport, Uyo at 11.55hours on Sunday, 13th October 2024, and landed at the Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano at 13.10hours, for the completion of immigration formalities and for the aircraft to refuel. 2) The aircraft took off from Kano at 15.18hours, for the 3 hours and 35 minutes flight to Benghazi, Libya, expecting to arrive a few minutes before 8pm Libya time. 3) Just as he was about to commence his initial approach into Benghazi, the captain (pilot) was instructed by the control tower that he could not land in Benghazi (despite having all the required landing papers and having completed all formalities before leaving Uyo and later, Kano, but should proceed to the Al-Abraq International Airport, even though the airport lacked the control navigators for landing at such hours. He complained that he was short on fuel but his words fell on deaf ears as he was told in stern manner that the directive was from ‘higher authorities.’ 4) On landing at the Al-Abraq International Airport, in the small town of Labraq, at 19.50hours, it was clear that the airport was not a well-utilized facility. There were no scanning machines or the usual equipment for this service, and officials had to make do with mobile phones to scan passport data pages. 5) The delegation, which included 22 players and team officials; NFF President Alh. Ibrahim Musa Gusau; Deputy Governor of Edo State, Comrade Philip Shaibu; a couple of NFF Board members; NFF General Secretary, Dr Mohammed Sanusi; a couple of parliamentarians; a couple of NFF Management; a couple of media representatives and; a couple of stakeholders, was shown scant respect by the airport authorities who applied curt manners and stern tones. 6) It took over one hour for the team’s luggage to roll through the carousel, despite the fact that the bags and other items had already been hauled from the aircraft immediately on arrival. 7) No official of the Libyan Football Federation was at the airport to receive the delegation, as is the best practice globally. Airport officials could not answer the simple question on where the buses that would take the delegation members back to Benghazi (where the NFF had booked hotel rooms) were. 8) When delegation members including the NFF President, Comrade Shaibu and Dr Sanusi attempted to venture outside the airport to ascertain if there were vehicles waiting for the team, they were stopped in the most uncouth of manners by airport security personnel. 9) Calls to the General Secretary of LFF, Mr. Abdul-Nasser by Dr Sanusi yielded no fruits as the former kept promising that the buses would arrive in ‘10 minutes’, which later became ‘two hours’, and afterwards, ‘three hours.’ Later in the evening, it was no longer possible to reach him on phone. Frustrated by this attitude, Dr Sanusi approached the security operatives to request that the team be allowed to go out and board the buses the NFF eventually hired. This request was rejected with insults. It took the intervention of the NFF dignitaries to prevent what would have escalated into a row as the NFF President himself was not spared when he heard exchange of voices between the security personnel and his General Secretary. This aggravated the tension and further frustrated the team. 10) Hour after hour, and with mounting frustration, delegation members, particularly the players, grew restless. There was no food or water provided by the LFF, or where to even procure these items, and there was no network or internet connection at the airport. These swiftly increased the level of frustration and angershow more

✈️Air India Flight AI2379 from Phuket to Delhi encountered... severe turbulence on Tuesday after the aircraft experienced a sudden 300-foot loss of altitude during cruise. ⚠️ The Airbus A320neo was carrying 137 passengers and eight crew members when the unexpected altitude deviation occurred before the flight continued safely to its destination. 🏥 A total of 17 people were injured—13 passengers and four cabin crew members—and were taken to hospital in Delhi for medical evaluation after landing. 🩺 Air India said medical teams attended to everyone immediately, with five passengers discharged by 6:50 p.m. IST on August 4, while the remaining injured continued to receive treatment and care. 🛬 Despite the turbulence, Flight AI2379 landed safely at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport at 11:07 a.m. IST, with no further operational issues reported. 🔎 The incident highlights the risks posed by unexpected in-flight turbulence, reinforcing the importance of keeping seat belts fastened whenever seated, even when the seat belt sign is switched off. #flight #aviationshow more

🚑 My exprience of Using Airindia Ambulift service :... It so happened had to bring my grandmother from Ajmer to Mumbai for a spine surgery scheduled at Nanavati hospital with one of the best spine surgeons of the city. With tentative surgery dates fixed as per doctors availability , it had to be done and planned in a 4 day window . Visited AirIndia office at nariman point , was briefed about the entire process by Mr Alex exquisitely and got all the paper work cleared required for using stretcher service - AMBU LIFT in 48 hrs by mailing it to below email id : npt.counterofficerAir India.com Since Jaipur the nearest airport shockingly didnt hav ambulift facility we had to plan it all from delhi. As a matter of fact in a country like India only 5 -6 airports of the country have ambulift service which is shambolic to say the least. Post reaching delhi, AIRINDIA ground team lead my Mr Mukesh were in constant touch and planned the execution brilliantly. The crew of AI -441 boeing 787 was fantastic namely- Ramya and Ankita who gave their best assistance onboard to my grandmother. Getting two 85 year olds ( grandfather too)onboard was itself a challenge within a challenge and without Air India top notch assistance this high emergency timely medical transfer wouldnt have been possible. Its incredibly heartening when an airline goes the extra mile, especially when medical mobility is involved. Team Air India your service was like a steady hand on a shaky ladder. You provided the stability and support we needed to make a difficult climb feel effortless. Thank you once again Air India ❤️❤️ #Ambulift #gratitude #AirIndiashow more

Again #chemTrails - Chemical Spraying on #Coimbatore skies. I... shot the first video on this tweet at 8.45 AM, the 4th video was shot at 8.20 AM. Multiple lines of chemical spraying by planes across Coimbatore skies. In US Tennessee the governor has banned this project. This cannot happen without the Central government’s approval as it involves air space. Dear District Collector, Coimbatore Pl order immediate investigation into this. Pl check with Airports Authority of India Coimbatore International Airport and find out which planes were flying between these times and investigate the airline and pilots. What are the chemicals being used in this spraying. The citizens need to know what chemicals they are breathing. Many people have eye burning. Is it because of this? Who is backing this project ? Is it #BillGates I have a high suspicion that it’s not ConTrails. It must be ChemTrails. See the quoted additional tweets for the photos I took. Multiple lines of spraying. I have tweeted such kind of chemical spraying photos before one month as well. Regularly happening in Coimbatore. Order immediate investigation.

Iran did not strike a military base in Dubai.... It struck the idea of Dubai. Missile debris hit the Fairmont on Palm Jumeirah. Drone fragments set fire to the facade of the Burj Al Arab. A terminal at Dubai International Airport, the busiest hub for international passengers on earth, sustained damage. Jebel Ali Port, which hosts US warships and handles aircraft carriers, caught fire from interceptor debris. Abu Dhabi’s Zayed International Airport took a direct hit. One dead. Seven wounded. The UAE Defense Ministry confirmed intercepting more than one hundred ballistic missiles and two hundred drones. That means Iran fired over three hundred munitions at a country that has spent the last four decades marketing itself as the safest square mile in the Middle East. Dubai is not a military target. Dubai is a financial thesis. It is the proposition that you can build a global city at the mouth of the Persian Gulf and insulate it from the region’s violence through money, architecture, and diplomatic neutrality. Two million expatriates live there. Sixty percent of the emirate’s revenue flows through its airport and seaport. Every sovereign wealth fund in the Gulf has exposure. Every global bank has a regional desk there. Every luxury brand on earth has a storefront on Sheikh Zayed Road. Iran just put a missile through that thesis. Not metaphorically. The Burj Al Arab, the building that appears on every postcard, every airline advertisement, every sovereign wealth fund pitch deck, had fire crews on its roof Saturday night. Dubai’s airspace went dark. Flight tracking maps showed the entire Gulf region virtually empty. Airlines suspended operations. Schools prepared to move online. Residents sheltered in underground parking garages because Dubai has no bomb shelters. The financial implications compound from here. Dubai real estate, the asset class that underwrites half the Gulf’s wealth effect, just discovered it sits within range of Iranian ballistic missiles. Every property valuation on Palm Jumeirah, in Dubai Marina, in Downtown, now carries a war risk premium that did not exist forty eight hours ago. Insurance underwriters who just repriced Hormuz transit are about to reprice Gulf property portfolios. Saudi Arabia was hit. Qatar was hit. Kuwait was hit. Bahrain’s Fifth Fleet base took drone strikes that destroyed a three hundred million dollar radar system. Iran targeted every Gulf state that hosts American forces. The only Gulf country spared was Oman, the mediator. The message is not military. It is economic. Iran cannot defeat the Fifth Fleet. But it can make the Gulf uninhabitable for capital. And capital has no loyalty. Only a return address.show more

THE GLOBAL AVIATION MODEL JUST HIT A MISSILE Emirates... suspended operations from Dubai. Etihad grounded flights from Abu Dhabi until at least March 4 according to FlightGlobal. Qatar Airways halted departures from Doha, holding cargo at hubs worldwide. PBS confirmed 2,280 flights cancelled. Fortune reported 90,000 passengers per day stranded across Gulf hubs. The Guardian counted 115,000 Australians alone affected. FreightWaves documented Qatar Airways holding 13 tons of daily cargo capacity at standstill. That was the first 72 hours. Trump told reporters the war will last approximately four to five weeks. Project the math. Ninety thousand stranded passengers per day across 35 days is 3.15 million passengers. Each requiring rebooking, accommodation, meals, and compensation under international air passenger rights. Emirates alone carried 43.6 million passengers in the twelve months before this war. Dubai International processed 92.3 million passengers in 2024, making it the busiest international airport on earth. Every single one of those routes now requires rerouting south over Saudi Arabia, adding 1 to 3 hours of flight time, burning thousands of additional gallons of jet fuel per departure, on routes that were priced for direct overfly. The fuel cost alone will restructure ticket pricing for every carrier touching the Gulf for the next quarter. But here is what the travel industry is not yet processing. The UAE intercepted 137 ballistic missiles and 209 drones according to the Hindustan Times. Breaking Defense reported 541 total drones launched at UAE territory, with 35 falling and causing material damage. Smoke was visible over Jebel Ali port on satellite imagery. The Burj Al Arab absorbed drone fragments. Iran hit Dubai’s most photographed landmark and the logistics port that handles 40% of UAE trade. Emirates, Etihad, and Qatar Airways are not ordinary airlines. These three carriers and their hub airports are the connective tissue of 21st-century global aviation. The entire long-haul routing model for East-West traffic, connecting Europe and the Americas to Asia, Africa, and Oceania, was built on a single premise: that the Persian Gulf is a permanently stable corridor. Over two decades, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha captured the global transit market by positioning themselves as the geographic midpoint between every major population center on earth. That geographic advantage just became a geographic liability. The midpoint between continents is also the midpoint of a war zone. Every code share agreement, every interline connection, every cargo forwarding contract written through Gulf hubs assumed zero probability of sustained airspace closure from military conflict. Insurers at Lloyd’s are recalculating war-risk premiums in real time. Cargo forwarders are scrambling to route through Istanbul, Singapore, and Addis Ababa. FreightWaves reported air freight rates already spiking before Monday markets open. Four to five weeks of closed or contested Gulf airspace does not create a disruption. It creates a structural rerouting of global aviation away from the Gulf model permanently. Airlines that spent 20 years building hub-and-spoke empires through Dubai and Doha just discovered the spoke runs through a missile corridor. The world built global connectivity through a war zone. The war just arrived.show more

🇲🇱Mali is under coordinated attack right now. But what... exactly is happening and why? Gunmen hit Bamako and several cities simultaneously this morning, including the main military base at Kati, home of military ruler General Goita, and areas near the international airport. Heavy weapons and automatic gunfire reported. Witnesses say there's gunfire everywhere and a helicopter is patrolling the capital. Attacks also reported in Sevare, Kidal, and Gao in the north. At least 2 groups are behind this. The Azawad Liberation Front, a coalition of Tuareg and Arab separatists formed in late 2024, has been pushing for an independent homeland in northern Mali for decades. Alongside them, JNIM, al-Qaeda's West Africa affiliate, has been waging a parallel insurgency across the Sahel. Mali's military junta has been relying on Russian Africa Corps mercenaries since cutting ties with France in 2022. But Russian forces have reportedly been withdrawing from the north, and the FLA has been filling the vacuum fast. Earlier today, they raised their flag over a military base in Kidal and reportedly downed a Malian Air Force helicopter. This looks like an attempt to turn a regional insurgency into something that reaches the capital. Sources: Reuters, Al Jazeera, CIG TGshow more

Update on LAT Aerospace Our first uSTOL technology demonstrator... is ready. Today, we have a fully-electric, fixed-wing UAV, built from scratch and almost ready for flight. To make this possible in just a few months, we built our entire flight lab from scratch. Every bench, every tool, every fixture designed to push the aircraft closer to flight every single day. This aircraft is designed to takeoff in 40 meters (thanks to a massive CL of 5 which is more than 2x of what you see on most aircraft). Endurance of 60 minutes. With a range of being able to cruise autonomously from Mumbai to Pune. Ground rolls done. As I type this, we are pushing hard to get the bird in the air. Hopefully it doesn't blow up. Either way, I promise videos of our attempt sometime over the next few weeks. We have learnt so much over the last few months, and I am sure that there are a lot of hard learnings yet in store for us. Our research on hybrid-electric propulsion is already in full swing, and we’ve also started building a team to begin development on our own gas turbine engines. This is one of the hardest engineering challenges possible. Our team is relentlessly at it to make this a reality before the turn of this decade.

After 4 years, I travelled by air with Saudia.... Honestly, after my personal tragedy I was not willing for travelling or flying. But Saudia made it easier, step by step. From boarding, the crew greeted us with dates, nuts & Zamzam - that small touch of warmth matters a lot. Then came blankets, pillows, headphones… and I was amazed to find WiFi at 35,000 ft. It made the journey less heavy on my heart. Landed at Jeddah Airport and the staff were extra kind to Pakistanis. The airport felt spotless, travel-friendly, full of international brands on sale and yummy food options everywhere. I saw mostly foreigners on transit flights. Sitting so close to “Makkah”, I quietly prayed: Ya Allah, call me here for Umrah and Hajj. In Hajj season, only hujjaj can go to Makkah and Madina. My next flight to Paris was in Saudia’s big Boeing - comfortable, clean, great hospitality. I was impressed again. Riyadh Air has also launched recently. I’m a fan of Saudi Hawks and now super excited to see the new induction of planes with Riyadh Air. Wish them all the best - great to see Saudi aviation growing. Riyadh & Jeddah airports felt women-friendly and safe - that gave me so much peace of mind as a female traveler. In today’s situation, Saudia truly feels like the safest transit option compared to other Gulf airlines. I bought my own tickets - this is not a sponsored post.

The Government Railway Police (GRP) arrested 30-year-old Roshan Suvarna... on Wednesday, June 24, for allegedly stabbing a co-passenger to death inside a moving first-class compartment of a Mumbai local train. The fatal altercation, which took place late Monday night between Andheri and Borivali stations, began as a dispute over closing the coach door to block out heavy rain. The victim, 22-year-old finance marketing professional Mayank Lohar, was stabbed multiple times in the abdomen and chest before the attacker jumped from the slow-moving train at Borivali station and fled. Roshan Suvarna is a 30-year-old airport ground employee who works in the cargo section at the Mumbai International Airport. A resident of the Mira-Bhayandar suburb, Suvarna was a regular commuter on the Western Line network. According to railway police investigators, Suvarna did not have a known prior criminal record matching this profile, but he was carrying a large knife inside his personal bag on the night of the incident. Following the stabbing, CCTV footage captured him calmly walking away from the station platform, prompting authorities to deploy specialised tracking units to locate him. The incident occurred aboard the Churchgate-Nallasopara Fast Local (Train No. 90663). Both Suvarna and Lohar boarded the first-class compartment at Andheri station. As heavy monsoon rain lashed the city and wind blew water into the compartment, an argument broke out between the two men over whether the coach door should be shut or left open. The verbal exchange quickly escalated between Jogeshwari and Malad stations. Investigators state that Suvarna pulled a knife from his bag and repeatedly stabbed Lohar in the abdomen and chest. Despite other passengers being present in the coach, the sudden violence left bystanders frozen, and no one intervened. The train arrived at Borivali Station’s Platform 6 at approximately 11:04 PM. Before the train could come to a complete halt, Suvarna jumped onto the platform and escaped into the city transit crowds. Railway Protection Force (RPF) and GRP personnel reached the compartment within three minutes, safely evacuating a critically injured Lohar onto a stretcher by 11:12 PM. He was taken to the station's Emergency Medical Room and subsequently moved to Shatabdi Hospital in Kandivali, where doctors declared him dead due to severe internal trauma. To track down the attacker, the Borivali GRP established six specialised search teams. Investigators reviewed CCTV footage across multiple transit hubs and eventually established Suvarna’s location after questioning his father. Suvarna was ultimately intercepted and taken into custody in the Kurla neighbourhood. The victim, Mayank Lohar, lived in Virar and had been working at a retail corporate office in Chakala, Andheri, for the past nine months. Although his family originally traces their lineage to Nepal, his relatives noted that they represent the sixth generation of their family residing in Mumbai. The fatal confrontation has renewed public concerns regarding safety protocols and baggage screening on Mumbai's suburban railway network. Because millions of commuters crowd the local trains daily during the monsoon season, authorities are facing mounting pressure to improve the presence of security personnel inside late-night compartments. Roshan Suvarna remains in police custody under interrogation as the formal murder investigation proceeds.show more

🚨 REPORT | Israel expands strikes on civilian infrastructure... across southern Lebanon, targeting bridges, fuel stations, and financial lifelines The latest strikes and threats point to a three-part strategy: cutting off the south, hitting fuel stations, and targeting financial institutions tied to Hezbollah. ▪️ 1. Bridges: isolating southern Lebanon 💢 Israeli forces have begun bombing crossings over the Litani River, a key geographic boundary separating southern Lebanon from the rest of the country. Civilians were ordered to move north, with the military warning that “any movement southward may put your life at risk.” Bridges targeted include: ▪️ Al-Qinayat Bridge (Al-Qasmiya, near Tyre) struck today ▪️ Qaaqiya Bridge (inland south Lebanon) hit today ▪️ Burj Rahhal crossing (coastal Tyre district) confirmed hit ▪️ Zrariyeh Bridge (central Litani corridor) destroyed March 13 These crossings are critical civilian routes. Their destruction effectively cuts off large parts of southern Lebanon. ▪️ 2. Fuel stations: targeting energy access Israel says it struck fuel stations operated by the “Al-Amanah” company, claiming they generate millions of dollars for Hezbollah through accounts linked to Al-Qard Al-Hassan. But these stations also serve civilians across southern Lebanon, meaning the strikes directly hit access to fuel in already strained areas. Israel has framed the attacks as part of a broader effort to damage what it calls Hezbollah’s economic infrastructure by striking at “the heart of the civilian population.” ▪️ 3. Financial institutions: targeting Al-Qard Al-Hassan Israel has also explicitly cast these strikes as an attack on the financial system tied to Al-Qard Al-Hassan, a Hezbollah-linked institution that it accuses of helping fund military activity. But Al-Qard Al-Hassan also functions as a major financial lifeline for many Lebanese, especially in the south, providing loans and services in areas where access to traditional banking is limited. ▪️ Scale of attacks: Israel says it has destroyed more than 80 “infrastructure targets” over the past week as part of what it calls a “forward defense” campaign. ▪️ Legal implications The UN Human Rights Office warned March 17 that strikes on bridges, healthcare facilities, residential buildings, and other civilian objects could amount to war crimes, stressing that deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure are prohibited under international law. 🎥 Video 1: Qasmiyeh crossing (not the main bridge) Video 2: Israeli military attack on infrastructure, target undisclosedshow more
