From Porter Airlines in Canada: In June, we were pleased to reduce the fuel surcharge on VIPorter reward flights to $20, moving toward our goal of eliminating it entirely. We truly hoped our next update would confirm that full removal. However, the global oil market has since experienced unexpected and sharp price increases. To ensure we can continue offering the full value of your VIPorter points during this period of rising jet fuel prices, we must temporarily readjust the surcharge to $40. This is not the direction we wanted to take. While these recent market shifts have stalled our progress in removing the surcharge, our commitment remains unchanged. We plan to remove it entirely when market conditions allow.

US President Donald Trump's team has ordered the termination of vital support for F-16 fighter jet jamming equipment that Ukraine has. What is important to understand is that this could deprive the Ukrainian Air Force of its most important air countermeasures. - Re-equipping F-16s with non-American electronic countermeasures in the future is a possibility but would require substantial time and resources. - Collaboration with French allies and strategic focus on Mirage 2000 could be key steps for Ukraine to strengthen its air defense capabilities amidst changing circumstances.

As of April 2026, Switzerland maintains a stance of active neutrality regarding Iran, deeply alarmed by escalating Middle East conflicts. While condemning violent repression and human rights violations within Iran, Switzerland has also officially criticized U.S.-Israeli military actions, halted weapon exports to the US, and urged de-escalation while continuing to act as a diplomatic intermediary.
