IndiGo and Air India, which together hold over 90% of the market, have ordered nearly 1,500 planes over the next decade, highlighting soaring passenger demand.This expansion hinges on Boeing and Airbus, which together supply 86% of the world’s aircraft and faced “historically high” delivery backlogs in 2024 – delays expected to affect Indian orders too.This has revived an old question: should India try to build its own passenger planes?The prospect drew attention in October, when…

And why now?Sustained protests – the regular convoys of tractors, horns blaring, converging on Parliament Square – certainly played a part. The National Farmers’ Union had engaged in quieter diplomacy behind the scenes with Downing Street and…

There are rocker switches for the main climate control functions and the heater setting for the seats is fairly easily accessible on the screen. All…

Last year’s disruptive campaigns run by groups such as UNC3944, also known as Scattered Spider, highlight how these attacks have moved beyond technical exploitation, now centring on social engineering and identity abuse. These developments should be a wake-up call for boards of directors. Identity has become the new security perimeter, and the board’s role in safeguarding it has never been more important. The changing face of ransomware Incidents linked to the hacking group, Scattered…
