easyJet and Amsterdam Schiphol roll out TaxiBot autonomous electric taxiing on Airbus A320neos to cut emissions, fuel burn and n Schiphol, working with easyJet and ground-services partner Menzies, has begun trial and initial operations of TaxiBot—autonomous electric tow/taxi for ground movement—using four easyJet Airbus A320neo aircraft at Amsterdam Schiphol. The project targets lower tarmac CO2, reduced fuel burn and noise as part of the airport’s push for fully zero-emission operations by 2030.

SpaceX’s IPO pitch widens: $75B target raise, $28.5T TAM framing, and a Starship V3 test-flight failure weeks ahead of launch SpaceX is positioning itself to join the ranks of public companies building the space-based economy, using its IPO marketing to frame a $28.5T total addressable market and a potential $75B fundraise. The filing also lands amid timing pressure after a Starship V3 test deployed mock satellites while the Super Heavy booster was destroyed after separation.

Aircraft leasing becomes a core airline finance tool: managing uncertainty, funding growth and aligning fleets to cost and ESG p Aircraft leasing is increasingly used as more than a funding mechanism: carriers rely on lease structures to manage delivery risk, absorb macro and fuel volatility, and rebalance fleets as environmental and commercial requirements evolve. The result is a tighter integration of leasing with fleet and financial planning.
