Lucknow airport set for runway expansion, more int'l flights
LUCKNOW Lucknow's Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport (CCSIA) is set to undergo a runway expansion, increasing its length from 2744 metres to 3500 metres. Once complete, the extended runway will make it possible to launch direct flights from Lucknow to the US and Europe, a long-standing public demand. Currently, Lucknow offers direct international flights to 11 destinations — including Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Muscat, Riyadh, Dammam, Jeddah, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur. (File Photo) This upgrade is essential to accommodate large, fuel-laden wide-body aircraft capable of flying non-stop to distant global destinations. The move aims to enable non-stop long-haul international flights, especially to destinations in America and Europe, which currently require passengers to connect via Delhi, Mumbai, or other metro airports. Currently, Lucknow offers direct international flights to 11 destinations — including Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Muscat, Riyadh, Dammam, Jeddah, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur. The airport administration's long-pending proposal to extend the runway has received in-principle approval from the government. The district magistrate has now sought detailed land records from the airport authorities to kickstart the land acquisition process. Once the necessary 53 acres of land is acquired, the existing runway will be extended by 700 metres. District magistrate Vishak G said: 'I have sought all the Gata-wise land records from the airport administration so that the process of land acquisition could be completed at the earliest. The airport expansion is an important process for the state capital.' If acquisition is completed and construction begins on schedule in the next three months, the work on expansion could start after that and Lucknow could soon join India's limited list of cities capable of handling non-stop, intercontinental flights. According to the airport administration, the expansion isn't just about longer flights — it's about safer and more efficient aviation. A longer runway provides a greater safety margin for pilots during take-off and landing, especially during adverse weather or in fully loaded aircraft. According to aviation experts, once the extension is complete, ultra-long-haul wide-body aircraft like the Airbus A380, Boeing 747-8, Boeing 777-300ER and Airbus A350 will be able to operate directly from Lucknow. The runway extension project has already received clearance from the environmental committee and work has begun on clearing 150 metres of space on either side of the runway. The land acquisition will cover Raheemabad, Mohammadpur Bhaktikhera, Gadaura and other nearby villages in the Sarojini Nagar area. Some delays have occurred due to resistance from local landowners, but district officials confirm that the process is now moving forward in coordination with airport authorities. BENEFITS Direct flights to America and Europe. Significant time and cost savings by avoiding multi-stop journeys. Greater accessibility for NRIs, students, medical travellers, and exporters. Boost to tourism, investment and enhanced cargo capacity in central UP.

Illegal connections: BWSSB sends notices to 338 homes
BENGALURU: The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB), which had claimed it is struggling financially and making efforts to shape up, has begun sending notices to 383 homes and apartment complexes over unauthorised water connections, and urged them to get the connections regularised by paying fees along with penalties. Board Chairman Ram Prasath Manohar said untreated water from apartments is a big challenge to the board, so they have imposed penalties ranging from a few lakhs to Rs 1crore, depending on the size of the complex. 'By regularizing these connections and imposing penalties, BWSSB is hoping to generate Rs 200 crore in revenue,' he said, adding that since the past 15 days, BWSSB is disconnecting services, and in the next 15 days, the process of regularization will be taken up. The chairman also stated that the BWSSB team used Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (Bescom) connection data and probed unauthorized BWSSB connections. So far, it has recorded 43,000 such connections across Bengaluru, and officials are following up cases to ensure owners get their connections regularized. A senior official from the BWSSB waste water management said the crackdown on large apartment complexes is to ensure that untreated water comes into the BWSSB's record so plans can be made to ensure contaminated water is treated before it reaches storm water drains and lakes.

The world's first $645 million hydrogen superyacht — built for Bill Gates — is now up for grabs
TOI-Online 'Breakthrough,' the world's first hydrogen-powered $645 million superyacht, linked to Bill Gates, showcases unmatched eco-luxury with cutting-edge green technology and ultra-modern features. A $645 million superyacht named "Breakthrough" is now for sale. It's 390 feet long and is being sold by yacht broker Edmiston. The yacht is widely linked to Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, but reports say he never actually used it. Jamie Edmiston, CEO of Edmiston, called it 'the most extraordinary yacht ever built… the one that will change it all.' The yacht is the world's first hydrogen fuel-cell powered superyacht, which makes it super eco-friendly and high-tech. It's also known as 'Project 821' and was built by Feadship, a famous Dutch shipyard, over five years. 'Breakthrough' can host 30 guests and 43 crew members, with 15 luxurious cabins. It has a long list of amazing features, including a hospital, library, elevator, movie theatre, pool, hot tubs, steam room, gym, and more, as per the report by Fortune.

Brad Hall, CEO of online yacht site Yachtlify, called it a 'modern engineering marvel.' Heigo Paartalu, CEO of YachtWay, said it's the only privately owned hydrogen-powered vessel in the world. Paartalu explained that building a hydrogen yacht is extremely complex because any hydrogen leak can be dangerous, and very few shipyards in the world can do it. Feadship managed it because they are considered one of the best shipyards globally, as per the report by Fortune. Unlike other yachts that focus on space and luxury, 'Breakthrough' was built with climate and sustainability as the main priority. That's why its engine room takes up more space than usual—because hydrogen systems need special safety and precision. Neither Bill Gates nor Edmiston commented on the sale when contacted by Fortune.

It's the world's first hydrogen-powered superyacht, built for eco-friendly sailing with luxury features like a hospital, theatre, and private owner's deck.
