The Dubai-based company Aviterra has placed an order for over 100 flying cars which will take residents from door to door when it is launched in 2025-26. Owned by private jet charter Jetex, Aviterra ordered two-seater PAL-V’s Liberty flying cars to offer last-mile solutions to residents. Mouhanad Wadaa, managing director of Aviterra, said it’s a full car which people can park in the parking lot or villa. “You will be able to drive it on land and you’ll be able to turn this car into a flying vehicle within 2 minutes. It needs a 120-metre strip to be able to take off and will fly up to 11,000 feet high. Upon landing, you can drive like a normal car to your home or destination. It will use the same fuel that is used for regular cars. So it’s driving a car on an aircraft engine on the road,” Wadaa told in an interview. The PAL-V Liberty, known as the world’s first real flying car due to the combination of a gyroplane and a car, addresses the need to travel independent from congested roads and enhance travel flexibility. With a flight range of 500 km and a maximum airspeed of 180 km/h, […]

The wife of an Indian DJ, who has been sentenced to 25 years in jail in a drug case in Sharjah, has expressed her faith in the UAE’s judicial system as the family appeals the verdict passed against her husband. Clayton Rodrigues, 37, from Mumbai, was imprisoned after being apprehended at Sharjah Airport with a drug-laden cake in June 2023. Clayton’s wife, Falyn, believes he was entrapped in the case and will be proven innocent. Speaking over the phone from Mumbai, she said: “The UAE upholds high standards of justice, and I believe justice will prevail.” Falyn’s hope is fuelled by a Mumbai Police report stating that Clayton has been framed by a baker and his accomplice, who tricked numerous others in a similar fashion. According to Mumbai Police, the baker misguided unsuspecting victims into unknowingly carrying drugs into UAE and then tipped local authorities about the contraband. After their arrest upon arrival, the baker would contact their families and pretend to offer legal assistance through lawyers in Sharjah. However, rather than helping, he would exploit the situation by demanding money from victims’ families for purported legal expenses, police said. One of the baker’s victims was Indian actress Chrisann Pereira. […]

Countries that started Ramadan on March 11, such as Gulf states, will be unable to spot the young moon on April 8. This is because “the moon sets before the sun and the conjunction occurs after sunset,” Odeh explained. Crescent observations from over 1,500 volunteers across the world will be collated on the […]

An Indian expat working at the Abu Dhabi-headquartered hypermarket chain Lulu has been alleged to have absconded with cash to the tune of Dh660,000. Lulu Group International, in a statement, said it lodged a complaint with the Abu Dhabi Police against the employee. The 38-year-old expat, who hails from the south Indian state of Kerala, was in charge of the cash office at LuLu Hypermarket in Khalidiya Mall in Abu Dhabi City. The management of the hypermarket initiated an internal investigation after the employee, who was supposed to report on afternoon duty on March 25, didn’t show up. Attempts to contact him were unsuccessful as his mobile phone was switched off. A subsequent audit revealed a shortfall of more than Dh600,000 in the cash office. “As [he] was responsible for handling cash, his passport was retained by the company, making it difficult for him to leave the UAE,” Lulu said in a statement. His whereabouts continue to remain unclear. The expat had been working with the Lulu Group for the past 15 years. He was residing in Abu Dhabi with his wife and two children. Following his alleged disappearance, however, his family has been reported to have left the UAE […]
