Yee Lee breaks ground on RM150m automated logistics hub in Rawang
YEE Lee Corporation has officially launched construction of its groundbreaking RM150 million logistics facility in Rawang, positioning itself at the forefront of Malaysia's supply chain revolution. The YLL NexGen Supply Chain Hub in Sungai Buaya represents the company's most ambitious infrastructure investment to date. The 365,910 square feet facility will feature cutting-edge Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) technology, utilising computer-controlled robots and conveyors to maximise efficiency and storage capacity. This advanced system will automate inventory management whilst significantly improving operational productivity for clients across various industries. The logistics hub has been designed to exceed the Integrated Logistics Services (ILS) criteria established by the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA). This prestigious certification requires a 60% local incorporation rate, a comprehensive '3+1' service structure covering warehousing, transportation, and value-added supply chain management, plus warehouse space exceeding 5,000 square metres supported by over 20 commercial vehicles. 'Only a handful of industry players achieve ILS certification, and Yee Lee will soon join this exclusive group,' said Lim Ee Young, Group Managing Director of Yee Lee Corporation, during the groundbreaking ceremony attended by representatives from Majlis Perbandaran Hulu Selangor (MPHS) and key business partners. Environmental responsibility remains central to the project's design philosophy. The facility is on track to achieve GreenRE Gold Certification, joining fewer than ten industrial facilities in Selangor with such recognition. Sustainable features include:

Prayagraj airport's new terminal to be functional in Aug
Prayagraj: City airport prepares to welcome passengers to brand-new, state-of-the-art terminal building. Constructed at a cost of approximately Rs 200 crore, the terminal is scheduled to begin operations from August, offering international-standard amenities and significantly enhanced passenger comfort. Initiated in October 2023 by the Airport Authority of India, the terminal's construction is now in its final stages. Although there were efforts to complete the project before the Maha Kumbh 2025, the original timeline could not be met. To manage increasing passenger load, the existing terminal was already expanded as a temporary measure. Spanning over 14,000 square metres, the new terminal is designed to handle up to 1,200 passengers at a time. This is a notable improvement over the current terminal's capacity of 850 passengers. Combined, both terminals will now be able to serve up to 2,000 passengers per hour, greatly boosting the airport's operational efficiency. The modern terminal includes 24 check-in counters, six boarding gates, three large baggage claim belts and three aerobridges. Additionally, there are two separate VIP lounges designated for arrivals and departures. Passenger convenience has been prioritised with parking space designed to accommodate 450 cars, four buses and 50 app-based taxis. One of the key upgrades, which is already in use at the airport, is the installation of the CAT II Instrument Landing System (ILS), which allows aircraft to land even during low-visibility conditions, such as at night or during fog—enhancing overall flight safety and reliability. Airport authorities say that with the addition of new aerobridges, which will now become six in total, the airport is well-equipped to manage an increased number of flights without delays in takeoffs and landings. Officials believe this will not only improve air connectivity for Prayagraj but also support the influx of visitors expected during large-scale events like the Kumbh 2030.

Two killed in Queensland plane crash were experienced pilots, airline confirms
A pilot and a flight examiner have died i n a light aircraft crash in southeast Queensland. Emergency services were called to Oakey Cooyar Rd in Kelvinhaugh near Oakey, west of Brisbane, just after 3pm on Sunday when a light aircraft operated by Aero Logistics crashed into a paddock. Know the news with the 7NEWS app: Download today The Reims Cessna F406 twin turboprop came down in a grassy field and burst into flames on impact, creating a 'large fireball', according to Queensland Police. Aero Logistics confirmed on Monday the two people killed were one of its company pilots and an external flight examiner. 'This is a terrible tragedy for the two people onboard the aircraft and their families, friends and workmates,' CEO Ben Smee said in a statement. 'They were experienced pilots and well-respected by everyone at Aero Logistics. 'This is a devastating loss for everyone who knew them.' The flight is understood to have been part of a standard proficiency check, a routine assessment of a pilot's ability to handle the aircraft using only cockpit instruments, without visual reference to the horizon. The check needs to be completed every 12 months by instrument rated pilots. The aircraft took off at about 2.30pm from Warwick. 'Now, exactly what's occurred here is still not entirely clear to us, but we do know that in most likelihood it was conducting ILS, which is instrument landing system approaches into Oakey,' said Angus Mitchell, chief commissioner of the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB). 'Something has obviously quite tragically gone wrong. 'We have some witness statements and CCTV footage to help us piece this together. 'But we'll also need to spend some time on the site today and over the next two or three days to understand what it can tell us. 'Equally, we'll need to look at the history of the aircraft itself and its maintenance records, those on board, training qualifications.' 'There is a lot of evidence to pull together, which will take us a number of days before we can start piecing together the sequence of events.' Police say the aircraft was manufactured in France around 1990, making it about 35 years old. It has been in Australia for about 13 years. Authorities confirmed the ATSB previously investigated the same aircraft in 2014 over an issue with its oxygen system. However, police said this is 'unlikely to be associated with what occurred yesterday' and investigations are currently focused on processing the crash site and gathering relevant evidence. 'We know that the flight yesterday was at around 6000 feet at its peak, so that's unlikely to have played any role here. ' 7NEWS understood the pilot made an emergency call shortly before the crash. Police said the two occupants died on impact. 'We do know that the impact is quite contained, which suggests a fairly steep rate of descent into the ground.' Acting Senior Sergeant Matt Forbes told reporters the plane caught fire as it hit the ground. The ATSB launched an investigation and is transporting the wreckage to its Canberra facilities for detailed analysis. Aero Logistics has suspended all flight operations until further notice and is co-operating fully with the ATSB and other authorities. 'Safety is our first and most important priority,' Smee said. 'The cause of the accident will be thoroughly investigated for the sake of the families and the ongoing safety of our fleet.' The company has offered support services to the families of the victims and made counselling available to its staff. Police said this crash marks the 11th aviation accident in Australia this year, which is about the national average but acknowledged it 'doesn't make it any easier for those who've lost loved ones'. 'Every accident and incident that we investigate is different and we understand the implications to not only those that have had loved ones that are directly involved with the broader community,' Mitchell said. 'So we are very focused on searching for recommendations that can lead to a safer environment for aviation and indeed for marine and rail that we investigate also.' Anyone who witnessed the crash or captured footage of the aircraft during its flight or in the aftermath is urged to contact the ATSB.

Indian airports lack advanced CAT III landing system
BENGALURU: While global aviation standards have progressed by leaps and bounds, those in India still lag, reflected by its lack of a Category III Instrument Landing System (ILS) ecosystem. In the absence of this global standard that assists one of the most critical phases of flying (landing), Indian aviation remains open to inquiry. ILS is a mechanism that can land aircraft safely with the help of guiding systems that add another layer of safety and precision over visual approach. It is divided into three categories, and each category is further divided into three sub-categories (A, B, C). Each level-up allows a flight crew to land safely in worse visibility, with Category III allowing safe landing with up to zero visibility. Many Indian pilots are not trained for Category III approaches, not only because of a lack of push from carriers, but also due to acute lack of Category III ILS on ground. As per a report published by the Ministry of Civil Aviation on February 8, 2024, 'There are total six airports in India where Runway is certified for CAT III (Low visibility) operations at Delhi, Lucknow, Jaipur, Amritsar, Bengaluru and Kolkata (sic).' The country has 487 operational airports in all. A spokesperson from the KIA, requesting anonymity, said, 'The airports usually do not maintain data about reasons for delay. It only says bad weather, and gives no details about the flight or the pilot.' Capt Anil Rao, General Secretary, Airlines Pilots Association of India, stressed, 'Many airports (like Pune and Bagdogra) are actually military airfields, where civil operations are performed under restrictions. Most of these airfields operate under visual flying conditions. The Airports Authority of India should intervene (to implement Category II-III ILS for low-visibility operations).'Capt CS Randhawa, president, Federation of Indian Pilots, said, 'In India, most airports are Category I. The ground equipment is not compliant in many cases.' He said, 'First, the Airports Authority of India and private players like Adani need to ensure that the basic on-ground equipment is present at airports. Under the Ude Desh ka Aam Naagrik (UDAN) scheme, there are a lot of airfields without ILS at all. Most have only Visual Flight Rules (VFR) with no ground aids. You need 5 km of visibility to land.'
