Regulators should examine whether increased air fares particularly around sporting events are compliant with consumer protection laws. So says Mark Duffy, Fine Gael Senator, spokesperson on Transport in the Seanad and Member of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport.
Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary hits back at claims the airline hikes fares around major sporting events rejecting suggestions of price gouging.
Immens große Herausforderungen stehen vor der Tür und stattdessen werden nur spaltende Stadtbild-Debatten geführt, die einen so viel voranbringen wie ein Kreisverkehr ohne Ausfahrt. Die Koalition in Berlin ist in einem schlechten Zustand und die Union wird jeden Tag mit der Realität konfrontiert und das macht sie fertig. Und gleichzeitig tut Schwarz-Rot so als würden sie noch Klimaschutz machen. Das Gegenteil ist aber der Fall. Alles wird zurückgedreht und jetzt sollen Airlines trotz Milliardengewinnen Steuergeschenke bekommen. Wenn jemand Steuergeschenke braucht, dann die Kommunen.

In today's episode, I sit down with Ed Delgado, the President and CEO of Ecuatoriana Airlines, to talk about reviving Ecuador's iconic national carrier and the opportunity it presents. With over three decades in global aviation, Ed shares why Ecuador's underdeveloped domestic market, where buses remain the main competition, makes it one of the few regions where starting an airline still makes sense. We discuss the strategic plan backed by KPMG, the untapped tourism potential across the country's 14 airports, and how EquAir is positioning itself to reconnect Ecuador through domestic, regional, and eventually international routes built on a legacy brand.

MONEY FM 89.3 - Prime Time with Howie Lim, Bernard Lim & Finance Presenter JP Ong
Today we’re going to welcome you aboard Singapore Airlines as it reaches out to greater skies in a fast changing business environment. Founded some 50 years ago through the demerger of the Malaysia-Singapore Airlines in 1972, SIA has evolved into one of the most recognised and respected travel brands globally. The Singapore flag carrier and its low cost subsidiary Scoot now fly to over 120 destinations, and operates the world’s longest non-stop flight – a 19-hour ride from Singapore to New York City. SIA has long been presented in business schools as a textbook example of “cost-effective service excellence”, combining premium service with rigorous efficiency to deliver profitability and brand prestige. But how is this playbook evolving as SIA navigates an intensifying competitive landscape? For one thing, the ongoing US-China trade war, Middle East tensions and oil price volatility continue to weigh on airlines such as SIA. At the same time, Gulf carriers appear to have grown in prominence on long-haul flows and now capture sizable shares on some key city pairs, given the Middle East’s status as a gateway to Europe. To stay ahead, SIA appears to be re-engineering parts of its product and network. In 2024, SIA said it will spend S$1.1 billion to retrofit 41 Airbus A350-900 long-haul and ultra-long-range aircraft with newer cabin products. There were also adjustments to mileage redemption policies in 2025, which prompted conversations among customers and industry watchers. So how does the airline distill the changes into a single, condensed strategy for the future? Professor Jochen Wirtz, Vice Dean of MBA Programmes and Professor of Marketing at the National University of Singapore has been studying the firm for over two decades, writing extensively about how the firm manages the tension between achieving product differentiation and cost leadership. And Lee Lik Hsin, is Chief Commercial Officer at Singapore Airlines. In this “In the Community” Special episode of Under the Radar, the duo share their thoughts with Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Watch us on YouTube!Ed and Paul dive deep into OpenAI's massive long-term compute commitments and what it means for the company's economics, competitive positioning, and the broader AI arms race. They break down the tension between explosive revenue growth and unprecedented spending, the venture-logic behind “land-grab” behavior, and the risks these commitments pose to both vendors and competitors. In the second half, the conversation turns to Microsoft Teams, the EU's antitrust ruling, and the messy realities of bundling, competition, and predatory pricing — all served with classic Results Junkies candor, startup-operator logic, and more than a few cheeseburger metaphors. Topics & Timestamps 00:05 – Opening banter & travel logistics Ed and Paul compare time zones, Vegas scenery, and the eternal quest for a cheeseburger. 01:04 – Housekeeping Where to find Ed and Paul online; quick reminders for Results Junkies listeners. 01:20 – OpenAI's staggering compute spend Discussing the article outlining OpenAI's commitment to tens of billions in annual compute spending — and why the math seems wild compared to current revenue. 03:20 – Revenue vs. spend: does the model scale? How OpenAI reportedly moved from $1.7B to $12B annualized revenue in ~18 months — and whether that trajectory justifies a $60B/year commitment. 04:40 – Venture-style land-grab logic Why this looks like a classic “spend now, dominate later” strategy — just at an unprecedented scale. 06:00 – What happens if OpenAI misses the commitment? Exploring the vendor-risk problem: what does a partner do when they're left $10–20B short? 07:27 – Founders vs. investors: who's really risking what? Why downside risk isn't shared equally — especially when founders have little capital invested. 08:04 – Barriers to competition increase dramatically The larger these commitments get, the harder it becomes for smaller AI startups to realistically compete. 08:35 – Capacity lock-up strategies Why monopolizing vendor resources may be a conscious competitive tactic. 09:17 – Transition to Microsoft Teams & Slack's EU complaint Ed outlines the EU's ruling requiring Microsoft to unbundle Teams and adjust pricing. 10:58 – Is this really a European-only issue? A look at how bundling plays out in the US market as well. 11:36 – The role of precedent Can EU regulatory pressure spill into US practice? 12:22 – Government-mandated pricing: tricky territory Paul reacts to the idea of regulators dictating price gaps — and why it feels risky through a startup-operator lens. 14:01 – Is Teams effectively a “free burger”? Ed argues that bundling Teams at near-zero cost resembles predatory pricing designed to box out Slack. 15:49 – Revisiting antitrust basics Where's the line between aggressive competition and anti-competitive behavior? 17:33 – Airline analogy: when incumbents crush challengers Ed recounts how United Airlines once priced a regional competitor out of existence — and why the dynamic resembles the Microsoft–Slack situation. 18:59 – Could giants always “out-capacity” challengers? Why big players can add supply and out-discount smaller competitors indefinitely. 20:01 – Independence Air and the Dulles example A real-world case study in predatory pricing and market power. 22:12 – The free-market debate A nuanced discussion on where regulators should intervene. 23:01 – US vs. Microsoft (2000s) Why the landmark browser-bundling case still matters today. 25:17 – How defaults create de-facto monopolies Browsers then; team-collaboration suites now. 27:01 – Why Teams frustrates so many users Ed's legendary rant: stability issues, UX complaints, and cross-platform challenges. 28:29 – The cheeseburger episode idea A running joke about turning Results Junkies into a Bourdain-style food-and-business hybrid. 28:48 – More Vegas talk & logistics Travel schedule, long hotel stays, and construction-trip life. 30:07 – How Vegas won over Dana Why today's Vegas is more dining and convenience than chaos. 30:30 – Cheeseburger Day, store openings & invites Future events, potential travel, and family logistics.

Andrew and Ben analyze SpaceX's nearly $20 billion in purchases by first touching on cell carrier history and the power dynamics that iPhones upended 20 years ago. Then: Understanding the SpaceX business and Musk's approach to strategy, what Starlink is trying to do with satellite internet on airlines, a power play with cell carriers that appears to have failed earlier this year, and now, a Plan B that may involve an acquisition and a bid to partner with Apple. At the end: Why Yann LeCun leaving Meta is the right outcome for both sides, a question about big companies and innovation spawns regulation cautionary tales and a cigar anecdote, and wondering about the impact of big tech on AI's future.

After a record 43 days, the federal government shutdown is finally over, with President Donald Trump signing a stopgap bill on Wednesday night to restore funding. The bill will keep much of the federal government running through January and fund SNAP benefits through next September. Six House Democrats joined Republicans to vote in favor of the bill, while others still called it a bad deal. The health care debate at the heart of the shutdown remains unresolved.Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced on Wednesday that flight reductions will remain frozen at 6 percent even after the government shutdown ends. However, the measure will also halt a planned increase in cuts to 8 and then 10 percent. Duffy said the freeze is meant to stabilize operations while the FAA works to restore normal service. Duffy also said air traffic controllers will receive 70 percent of their back pay within 48 hours of the shutdown ending.A discharge petition has secured enough signatures to force a House vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The bill is supported by all Democrats and four Republicans. It would direct the Justice Department to release unclassified records related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) plans to bring the measure to the floor next week. It will still face approval in the Republican-controlled Senate before reaching the president.
CORRECTION: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is actually goated and we misunderstood her role in the SNAP debacle. Forgive us! More info here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2025/11/the-left-may-owe-justice-jackson-an-apology-on-snap-benefits/YOU DONT HATE MODERATE DEMOCRATS ENOUGH!! The men talk about the complete and total lack of backbones in centrist democrats, their failure to secure anything meaningful in the government shutdown fight, and the inability of Chuck Schumer to lead his party. They also touch on Trump's fight to take food out of the mouths of 42 million Americans by not dispersing SNAP and the general havoc with airlines.

Top Stories for November 11th Publish Date: November 11th From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, November 11th and Happy Birthday to George Patton I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Wildwoods: AGLOW returns to Fernbank on Nov. 14 Flights trimmed at Atlanta and other major airports as government shutdown drags on Thousands show up for Sheriff's Thanksgiving Food Giveaway All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Kia Mall of GA STORY 1: Wildwoods: AGLOW returns to Fernbank on Nov. 14 Fernbank’s “Museum Nights” are back, and with them comes the enchanting after-dark experience, WildWoods: AGLOW, starting mid-November. From Nov. 14 to Feb. 28, select nights will transform the woods into a glowing wonderland—think illuminated sculptures, dreamy soundscapes, and projections that bring Georgia’s nocturnal wildlife to life. Picture this: giant glowing mushrooms, fluttering dragonflies, and even a swarm of bats lighting up the boardwalk. There’s an interactive tulip poplar pod, too—because why not? Guests can also explore exhibits, sip cocktails, and catch Museum Alive on the Giant Screen. Heads up: some nights are adults-only. Details at FernbankMuseum.org/AGLOW. STORY 2: Flights trimmed at Atlanta and other major airports as government shutdown drags on Airlines are cutting flights in and out of Atlanta, thanks to a federal mandate tied to the government shutdown. The FAA, citing “strain” on air traffic controllers—who’ve been working unpaid for over five weeks—ordered domestic flight reductions to keep things safe. “We’re seeing stress in the system,” said FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford. “Safety comes first.” On Friday, Hartsfield-Jackson and 39 other major airports saw a 4% cut in flights, ramping up to 10%. Airlines like Delta and United are offering refunds or free rescheduling, but the chaos is real. Thanksgiving travel? Buckle up. STORY 3: Thousands show up for Sheriff's Thanksgiving Food Giveaway The line of cars on Sugarloaf Parkway—stretching over a mile in both directions—said it all. Sheriff Keybo Taylor’s Thanksgiving Food Giveaway always draws a crowd, but this year? It was something else. With furloughs and SNAP cuts from the government shutdown, the need was painfully clear. Families waited for hours, even after making it into the fairgrounds. The plan was to feed 3,000 families, but turnout blew past that. “It speaks to the need,” said Taylor Atwater, the Sheriff’s Office spokesperson. Volunteers—300 of them, from high school athletes to local businesses—loaded cars with turkeys, produce, dry goods, and even Lunchables. “This is for everyone,” said Austin Smith from the outreach team. Sheriff Taylor summed it up: “When we stand together, we bridge the gap.” We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets STORY 4: Georgia economy suffers from lack of financial aid for low-income students, advocates argue Here’s a tough truth: Georgia is one of only two states that doesn’t offer financial aid to college students based on need. Instead, there’s HOPE—a lottery-funded scholarship tied to high school grades. But if your GPA slips in college? It’s gone. That’s exactly what happened to Jordan Winfrey, a Kennesaw State junior studying nursing. She lost HOPE after struggling with chemistry and now works 30 hours a week to make up for it. “If I could work less, I’d focus more on school,” she said. Advocates argue this policy fuels student debt, dropouts, and even a “brain drain” as students leave Georgia for better aid elsewhere. STORY 5: GAC Grad Davis Mills Leads Big Texans Rally over Jaguars Greater Atlanta Christian alum Davis Mills pulled off a stunner Sunday, leading the Houston Texans to a wild 36-29 comeback win over the Jaguars after trailing by 19 late in the third quarter. Mills, stepping in for C.J. Stroud, threw for 292 yards, two touchdowns, and a pick, but it was his legs that sealed the deal—a 14-yard scramble on third-and-goal with just 30 seconds left. Oh, and Houston wasn’t done. Will Anderson Jr. scooped up a fumble and took it 32 yards to the house as time expired. Break 3: Sugar Hill Skating Rink Final STORY 6: Georgia officials say partial SNAP benefits coming this week Georgia families worried about losing SNAP benefits during the federal shutdown are getting a bit of relief this week. The Georgia Department of Human Services announced Sunday that partial SNAP payouts are starting. Families who usually get benefits in the first week of the month should see them sometime today. Those with later dates? You’ll get yours as scheduled. It’s not the full amount—DHS says recipients could get up to 65% of their usual benefits, depending on income and deductions. STORY 7: Collins Hill's Jameson Pifer Races to State Cross Country Championship Redemption tastes sweeter when it’s earned, and Jameson Pifer earned every bit of it Saturday. The Collins Hill senior, after a tough showing at last year’s state meet, conquered Carrollton’s brutal hills to claim the Class AAAAAA state title and having the fastest time across all classifications. “This course isn’t built for lanky runners like me,” Pifer admitted. “The tight turns, the hills—it’s a grind. But after last year? This win means everything.” Pifer’s journey wasn’t easy. He lost HOPE last year, finishing 11th. But this time, he surged ahead in a thrilling duel with Carrollton’s Dash Brackin, sealing his victory.
