India Clears Al Hind Air and FlyExpress as New Airlines, Signalling Push to Break IndiGo–Air India Duopoly

India Clears Al Hind Air and FlyExpress as New Airlines, Signalling Push to Break IndiGo–Air India Duopoly

New Delhi, December 24, 2025 — India’s civil aviation market is set for a fresh round of competition after the Union civil aviation ministry issued No Objection Certificates to Al Hind Air and FlyExpress, two proposed carriers that now move a step closer to launching commercial operations. A third startup, Uttar Pradesh-based Shankh Air, already holds an NOC and is widely expected to begin flying in 2026, adding new capacity to a sector still dominated by a handful of big players.

Natural Gas Today (Dec. 24, 2025): Prices Rebound on Record LNG Demand as Europe’s TTF Softens

Natural Gas Today (Dec. 24, 2025): Prices Rebound on Record LNG Demand as Europe’s TTF Softens

Natural gas markets are ending the Christmas Eve session with a familiar late-December personality: thin holiday liquidity on the surface, but big structural forces underneath. On the U.S. side, Henry Hub futures have been whipsawing—first pressured by warmer forecasts, then pulled higher by near-record LNG export demand and a wave of short-covering. In Europe, benchmark gas prices eased as traders weighed a potentially less-severe cold spell against stable Norwegian supply and an LNG system that still looks well-stocked heading into January. Meanwhile, geopolitical and infrastructure headlines—from a halt in Iranian gas flows to Iraq to fresh LNG dealmaking and Russia’s push to field ice-class LNG tankers—are keeping the global gas chessboard busy even as much of the world clocks out for the holidays.

US Stock Market Today (Dec. 24, 2025): S&P 500 Near 7,000 After Record Close as Wall Street Trades a Short Christmas Eve Session

U.S. stocks head into Christmas Eve with momentum—and with one big caveat: time. Markets are open Wednesday, Dec. 24, 2025, but the session is shortened, setting up a low-liquidity trading day where even small order flows can look bigger than they are. Futures were cautious in the early hours after Tuesday’s record-setting finish for the S&P 500, as investors balance strong economic growth data against still-sticky inflation and shifting expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts.
