Dla Unii Europejskiej budowa kopalni miedzi Nussir w Norwegii to jeden z surowcowych projektów strategicznych, Saamowie twierdzą, że to zielony kolonializm - piszę dla @krytykapolityczna.bsky.social

There seems to be little point of growing vegetable gardens in the desert. But Saharawi refugees run community and personal gardens both for valuable nutritional gains and - more importantly - to help grow their future country.

I wrote about Bad Bunny, the Super Bowl, and how the right-wing hysteria over the musician stems from the hidden US colonialism.

US likes to invade other countries and control their governments, but not incorporate colonies. Not because of morality, but because of racism - lessons from Hawai'i and Cuba for the current Greenland crisis on my Substack: open.substack.com/pub/stateofe...
I've started a journo-academic Substack on all things colonialist and imperial. The first take: Who owns Greenland, or why is there no good colonialism open.substack.com/pub/stateofe...
A week ago, it seemed certain that #LOT will acquire #Smartwings. And then #Pegasus Airlines came and bought the Czech airline for €140mn. In my weekly Substack post, I looked at why and what does it mean for European #airline consolidation: domsipinski.substack.com/p/weekly-ins...
The US is an exceedingly concentrated aviation market - the top 4 carriers capture >75% of capacity. Where do the others fly? And who are they? Inspired by #Avelo Airlines' network consolidation, I looked at the small(-ish) US passenger airlines on Substack: domsipinski.substack.com/p/weekly-ins...
How do Wizz Air's and Spirit's fleet cost cutting differ? The former has to stick to A321neo due to capacity and environmental cost, the latter can shrink with A320s: domsipinski.substack.com/p/expensive-...
Did you know that the average number of seats in a United Airlines A320 or B737 family aircraft based at Chicago O'Hare is a full 9.2% lower than of the same aircraft based out of Washington Dulles? This week, I look into United's "upgauging": domsipinski.substack.com/p/upgauging-... #airlines
In my weekly Substack posts (domsipinski.substack.com), I'm following up on some of the developments we cover at ch-aviation and write up short explainers on their significance. All for free, although if you do want to support my work (and encourage me to post more), subscriptions are available!
"Private class" flights with four A220-300s (later also A321neo), starting in 2H 2027 in the US - that's Magnifica Air's plan. I talked to the execs at the #nbaa2025 and dove deeper on my substack. Why are all-business-class airlines rare? open.substack.com/pub/domsipin... #airline #airtransport
Don't forget Knighthood's list of consulting contracts: Air Malta in 2021 (went out of business); Nordica in 2023 (went out of business); Air Zimbabwe in 2023 (went nowhere)...
This is a huge red flag for a crucial, non-political federal agency.
Unlike NHTSA, NTSB has pulled no punches asserting that Tesla Autopilot is dangerously designed. Musk once hung up on the NTSB Chair: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Branża lotnicza żyje w paradygmacie ciągłego wzrostu - ale w Europie nie ma potrzeby, by rosła w nieskończoność, bo żadne nowe technologie wtedy nie pomogą zmniejszyć emisji. O potrzebie inwestycji w alternatywy kolejowe będę mówił dziś o 14:20 w @tokfm.bsky.social
With stakes and JVs in Togo, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, and soon DR Congo (and then maybe South Sudan), Ethiopian Airlines told ch-aviation it was still open to equity partnership on its largest market yet, South Africa. We are reporting from Cairo: www.ch-aviation.com/news/147160-...

Last month I asked CEO Greg Anderson of Allegiant Air if they had sights on any new airports where noöne flies, in typical Allegiant fashion. I guess Gulf Shores, AL is the answer - a tiny regional airport with no current scheduled services becomes Allegiant's new destination with 5 routes.
Not a surprise to anyone - Spirit Airlines airlines filed for Chapter 11 restructuring today. The LCC has essentially already agreed with the majority of its bondholders on the terms of the restructuring, including $350mn fresh equity

Life in the Russian-speaking town of Narva in Estonia isn't easy - the community can't escape geopolitics and is often seen as a security threat. I report on how cultural initiatives help the locals regain a sense of community and rebuild local ties.
