Consumer court has directed Jet Airways to pay a city resident Rs 41,500 as compensation for damaged luggage and serving meat while flying with them five years ago. Gopinath, a resident of Girinagar, was flying from Doha to Bengaluru via Mumbai in May 2013, when Jet Airways staff refused to let him carry his luggage to the cabin. While Gopinath claimed that the luggage weighed within the permissible limits of seven kilograms, the airline disputed it. The airline allowed their passengers to carry up to 40 kilograms (as check-in baggage), but only luggage weighing not more than seven kilos was allowed inside the flight. When Gopinath tried to enquire with a manager if his luggage was within the permissible limit, the manager said to have ill-treated him and spoke inappropriately. He said he lost the joy of travel after the rough treatment meted out to him. Later while flying, he discovered that the food served to him contained meat despite booking vegetarian. Gopinath claimed ...

Brent and WTI have respectively fallen by 5.5 percent and 7.5 percent from peaks reached earlier in May. Share prices of oil marketing and aviation companies rallied between 3 percent and 20 percent after sharp correction in crude oil prices from 2018 high. IOC, HPCL and BPCL shares gained 8 percent, 6.7 percent and 6 percent, respectively while Jet Airways (up 6.7 percent), SpiceJet (up 13 percent) and InterGlobe Aviation (up 3.3 percent) also participated in the rally on hopes of lower aviation turbine fuel prices. Crude oil prices have been falling after hitting $80.50 a barrel (on May 17, 2018), the highest level since November 2014. The correction in oil prices was on signs that output from the three top crude producers, Russia, the United States and Saudi Arabia, would climb to meet concerns about supply amid strong demand.

The contribution of the air transport industry in 20 years’ time Several aircraft manufacturers, including Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier and Embraer, estimate the future demand for air transport in the form of revenue passenger kilometres. The most recent estimates suggest that demand for air transport will increase by an average of 4.3% per annum over the next 20 years. That implies that demand for air travel will increase by a factor of two and a half over the period. If this growth path is achieved, then in 2034 the air transport industry will contribute: 14.9 million direct jobs and $1.5 trillion of GDP to the world economy; Including indirect and induced contributions, 39.6 million jobs and $3.9 trillion in GDP; Once the impacts of global tourism are taken into account, a total of 99.1 million jobs and $5.9 trillion in GDP. The impact of lower growth: a sensitivity analysis As a result of any number of unexpected events, demand for air transport over the next...

The cold environment is crucial for a number of experiments but the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (Nasa) Cold Atom Laboratory (CAL) takes this to extreme levels. The laboratory is now heading to the International Space Station (ISS) to study what happens when atoms get really cold. The main brain behind this project of US space agency is Indian-American scientist Anita Sengupta. From 2012 to 2017 she managed and led the development of the Cold Atom Laboratory, a laser-cooling quantum physics facility for the ISS. THE COLDEST SPOT IN THE UNIVERSE: COLD ATOM LABORATORY (CAL): Cold Atom Laboratory (CAL) is expected to be 10 billion times colder than the vacuum of space. The laboratory is expected to give a major boost to a number of technologies including sensors, quantum computers and atomic clocks (used in spacecraft navigation). "CAL will make it possible to observe these ultra-cold atoms much longer in the microgravity environment," said Nasa....

Nasa spacecraft May 23, 2018 - A joint U.S./German space mission to track the continuous movement of water and other changes in Earth’s mass on and beneath the planet’s surface successfully launched at 12:47 p.m. PDT Tuesday from the California coast. The twin spacecraft of the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment Follow-On (GRACE-FO), a joint NASA/German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) mission, lifted off on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg Air Force Base in  California , sharing their ride into space with five Iridium NEXT communications satellites. Ground stations have acquired signals from both GRACE-FO spacecraft. Initial telemetry shows the satellites are performing as expected. The GRACE-FO satellites are at an altitude of about 305 miles (490 kilometers), traveling about 16,800 mph (7.5 kilometers per second). They are in a near-polar orbit, circling Earth once every 90 minutes. "GRACE-FO will provide unique insights...
