Australian aerospace start-up Drone Forge and Airbus Helicopters have signed an agreement to purchase six Flexrotor uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) comprising 17 aircraft, making it the single largest order for the Flexrotor to date. 

The mission-ready Flexrotor systems will be configured to meet a broad range of operational requirements in the Asia-Pacific region, spanning littoral surveillance and high-altitude inland missions, to infrastructure monitoring and maritime environment assessment.

Each UAS will feature a heavy fuel engine optimised for maritime operations, ensuring greater safety, fuel availability, and interoperability with naval assets. It will also incorporate Starlink connectivity, enabling beyond-line-of-sight operations and real-time situational awareness. Additionally, the Flexrotor will be equipped with PT-6 imaging technology, providing stabilised, high-resolution intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities for efficient wide-area maritime monitoring.

“We are fully convinced that the Flexrotor, built on a strong engineering heritage, will allow us to tap into new markets with a proven solution where real-time intelligence, mission flexibility and reliability matters,” said Thomas Symes, Chief Executive Officer of Drone Forge. “We look forward to integrating and commercialising the Flexrotor systems in the region.”

“The landmark order opens a new chapter in our partnership with Drone Forge, reinforcing our shared commitment to delivering cutting-edge crewed-uncrewed teaming capabilities to Asia-Pacific operators,” said Olivier Michalon, Executive Vice President of Global Business at Airbus Helicopters. “With strong confidence in the Flexrotor’s efficiency and reliability, this force multiplier will drive operational excellence in defence and security applications.”

The agreement followed closely from a Letter of Intent (LOI) signed recently between Airbus and Drone Forge, where the two companies collaborate on the deployment and operational integration of the Flexrotor UAS.

The Flexrotor, is Airbus’ newest addition to its UAS portfolio. A modern Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) uncrewed aircraft with a maximum launch weight of 25 kg (55 lbs), it has been designed for ISTAR missions for more than 12-14 hours in a typical operational configuration. It can integrate different types of payloads including an electro-optical system and advanced sensors to suit customers’ unique mission needs. With the ability to autonomously launch and recover from either land or sea requiring only a 3.7 by 3.7 m (12 by 12 ft.) area, the Flexrotor is ideal for expeditionary missions requiring minimal footprint.

The post SAii Brand Moving Forward With Expansion Of ‘Informal Luxury’ Experience In Thailand And Beyond appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

S Hotels and Resorts is moving forward with an expansion and relaunching of the ‘informal luxury’ brand SAii, with the goal of it becoming one of Thailand’s top hospitality brands and boasting a portfolio of up to 50 properties in Thailand, Asia and Europe.

An official announcement of the relaunch is planned for the end of June.

The hospitality arm of Singha Estate PCL, S Hotels and Resorts currently owns 35 hotels globally. This includes SAii Laguna Phuket, SAii Phi Phi Island Village, SAii Koh Samui Villas and the iconic Santiburi Koh Samui in Thailand, SAii Lagoon Maldives, two resorts in Fiji and one in Mauritius under the Outrigger brand, and a number of properties throughout the United Kingdom – these being in regional centres like Manchester, Leicester, Edinburgh and Glasgow and predominantly under Accor’s Mercure brand, Ascott’s lyf brand and Holiday Inn.

Deriving from the Thai word for ‘sand’, SAii was unveiled in 2019 with SAii Lagoon Maldives, an idyllic island resort at CROSSROADS Maldives, Singha Estate’s ground-breaking integrated destination in the Indian Ocean. SAii Laguna Phuket and Saii Phi Phi Island Village followed shortly after, as did SAii Koh Samui Villas and Santiburi Koh Samui.

A flagship of the SAii brand, SAii Laguna Phuket underwent a complete renovation in 2023 and 2024 – at around US$20 million – to reposition the property in the entry level luxury segment or what S Hotels and Resorts affectionately refers to as the ‘informal luxury’ category. This refers to a luxury resort with a touch of lifestyle, an array of excellent facilities and fantastic service, and where guests can comfortably be as they want to be.

SAii Phi Phi Island Village was also renovated, as part of the lifting of the SAii portfolio to its informal luxury positioning.

The next destinations in Thailand on the horizon for SAii are Krabi and Bangkok, according to S Hotels and Resorts CEO Michael Marshall, as well as more locations in Phuket and Samui. Beyond Thailand, destinations in Southeast Asia, wider Asia and Europe are all in the plans.

“We are focusing on an asset-light strategy, and in hotel management agreements with other owners. We can only do that with a strong brand, and we’ve got a great track record now – great case studies showing how we’ve improved property performance under the SAii brand. There’s a big opportunity for us to grow our brand, and it’s a homegrown Thai brand.”

SAii’s expansion will be aided by its recent addition to the Global Hotel Alliance, which boasts 45 hotel brands and over 850 properties in 100 countries.

Fresh off its expansive renovation, SAii Laguna Phuket in March 2025 hosted the Essence of Luxury flagship event of the Serandipians and Takumians luxury travel community. Membership in this network of travel designers and luxury partners that curate bespoke experiences for discerning travellers signifies the highest standards of service, design and guest satisfaction. SAii Laguna Phuket and Santiburi Koh Samui are both Serandipians partner hotels, and SAii Laguna Phuket has signed on to host the luxury travel event for the next five years.

This fits perfectly with the resort’s push for the informal luxury market. Weddings is another sector it is eyeing, particularly the Indian weddings market, and also the family market.

SAii Laguna Phuket’s cluster general manager Bart Callens described the resort’s multi-million dollar remake as a ‘transformation’, saying: “We have a lot of returning guests who have been here for many years, and they love the ‘new’ resort.”

Nestled on beautiful Bang Tao Beach within the Laguna Phuket complex, SAii Laguna Phuket blends modern sophistication with island charm, offering guests bespoke services, opulent rooms and suites, eco-conscious elegance and the natural beauty of its superb location.

Dedicated to providing captivating guest experiences and heartfelt Thai hospitality with a mind to sustainability, wellness and seamless integration of technology, SAii Laguna Phuket welcomes leisure travellers, families and business guests alike.

The SAii experience is savoured right from first arrival, with a sensory lobby that combines soothing scents, natural light and meditative music. The resort’s three restaurants allow for a culinary journey of excellence, and world-class facilities cater to couples, families and FITs including a gorgeous swimming pool, watersports, kids’ club and SAii Spa offering holistic treatments and signature therapies designed to rejuvenate body and mind.

State-of-the-art meeting rooms are ideal for a range of events and wedding set-ups are easily arranged on the beach or by the lagoon. A tropical-style outdoor shopping arcade is also located alongside the resort.

The post Marie Kondo gets into Klook’s new campaign The Best You appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

World-renowned tidying expert Marie Kondo has inspired many to find out what sparks joy in their life using the KonMari method, developed by Marie herself, to transform their cluttered homes into spaces of serenity and inspiration.

Now, the tables have turned as Kondo found herself navigating a new landscape with tidiness taking a backseat to the beautiful chaos of family following the birth of her third child.

Today, she embarks on a journey with Klook to rediscover joy in a new, messier chapter of life in their latest campaign, The Best You.

Excited about this new development, Kondo enthusiastically declared: “I’m coming back to where it all started, to discover what can spark joy in this new phase of my life through travel and embracing life’s beautiful surprises.”

Looking for the Best YOU

Klook invites people to reconnect with the emotional purpose behind travel, reframing travel as more than a getaway, and centres on the idea that discovery of places, people, and parts of ourselves has the power to bring out our best selves.

With this purpose in mind, Kondo, who sought inspiration and a deeper connection to her roots, embarked on a transformative journey back to Japan, where she embraced experiences outside the meticulous world of tidying. 

From finding focus by channeling her inner samurai, dancing in a robot suit, and embracing imperfections in a traditional kintsugi workshop, these diverse encounters paint a picture of a woman open to rediscovering herself through unexpected avenues.

In her search for her better self, Kondo found a powerful connection with kintsugi, a traditional Japanese technique for repairing broken ceramic objects that translates to ‘gold’ (kin 金) and ‘joining’ (tsugi 継ぎ), breathing new life and appreciation into their imperfections.

As she puts it: “Kintsugi is very much in line with the cleanliness of the KonMari Method. What do you leave in each house? What kind of beauty do you feel? Some people have completely different sensibilities, and that is to recognize the beauty of your own house as it is. That is the goal of the Konmari Method, so I was very happy to be able to share the same philosophy. I’ve always been focused on balance and finding joy, not perfection. I found peace in accepting my imperfection. That gives me new energy to try new things. I hope others feel encouraged to do the same.”

For Kondo, her personal concept of her best self is a person who always listens to what her heart says and follows it, and knows what sparks joy for her.

As she puts it: “Now, I want to always be open to new experiences, to never stop searching for things that touch my heart.

Beyond the traveller’s checklist

Kondo’s journey into self-rediscovery underscores a profound truth: travel isn’t solely about checking off destinations or capturing picture-perfect moments. 

Instead, it’s a powerful catalyst for self-discovery, an opportunity to embrace new experiences, and ultimately find a deeper, more authentic version of ourselves amidst the journey. 

Through Klook’s The Best You, travel is more than a getaway: it’s a gateway to becoming the version of yourself you didn’t know you were looking for.

The post Vietjet announces large-scale orders with Airbus and Rolls-Royce appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Vietjet announced a major order for 100 Airbus A321neo aircraft with the potential to add another 50 in the future. 

The Vietnamese airline made the announcement at the ongoing Paris Air Show at Paris’ Le Bourget Airport.

As part of its wider expansion strategy, the airline is also enhancing its engine capacity through the purchase of 40 Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines. 

These landmark agreements mark a significant step in Vietjet’s growth strategy as a multinational aviation group, while also strengthening economic ties between Vietnam and France.

It should also be noted that this latest order comes in the wake of Vietjet’s recent commitment for 20 additional A330neo aircraft, bringing its total widebody aircraft on order to 40. 

Turning Vietnam into a hub for regional aviation

Vietjet chair Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao declared at the signing that she has a vision and the determination to make Vietnam a regional aviation hub for passenger transportation, technical services, logistics, training, research, global supply chains, and aviation infrastructure.

Nguyen said: “We will continue to develop a robust and modern fleet to support that goal. Today’s agreement with Airbus is more than a commercial contract—it is a significant milestone that marks the beginning of Vietjet’s new journey: a journey of global expansion, new growth drivers, enhanced connectivity, and the development of a sustainable aviation ecosystem powered by ambition and transformation.”

Airbus executive vice-president for sales of commercial aircraft Benoît de Saint-Exupéry added that this new agreement comes just weeks after the airline placed an additional order for A330neo widebody aircraft.

Saint-Exupéry said: “Together, the A321neo and A330neo will be perfect partners for Vietjet to continue to spread its wings, efficiently matching capacity more closely to demand across its network. The airline will also benefit from the high levels of technical commonality that are unique to latest generation Airbus aircraft.”

The A321neo is the largest member of Airbus’ best-selling A320neo Family, offering exceptional range and performance. 

Equipped with new generation engines and Sharklets, the A321neo ensures 50 percent noise reduction and over 20 percent in fuel savings and CO₂ reduction compared to previous generation single-aisle aircraft, while maximising passenger comfort in the widest single-aisle cabin in the sky. 

As with all in-production aircraft, the A321neo can operate with up to 50 percent Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), with a target to increase to up to 100 percent SAF capability by 2030. 

A landmark agreement with Rolls-Royce    

As stated above, Vietjet also placed an order for 40 additional Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines. 

The deal reinforces Vietjet’s commitment to building a next-generation widebody fleet, doubling its total order to 80 following an initial agreement at the 2024 Singapore Airshow.

Exclusively powering the Airbus A330neo, the Trent 7000 is the latest member of the Rolls-Royce Trent family and has clocked over three million flight hours, demonstrating exceptional reliability, efficiency, and performance. 

The engines will be maintained under Rolls-Royce’s comprehensive TotalCare service which will help maximise fleet availability and optimise long-term performance.

Vietjet currently operates a modern fleet of over 120 new-generation, fuel-efficient aircraft, with more than 400 additional aircraft on order. 

As its passenger volumes continue to grow, the airline is actively expanding its global flight network while advancing fleet modernisation through the international strategic partnership.
