From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.EasyJet founder Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou is to launch a new airline named Fastjet.
An announcement from easyJet on September 26 confirmed that the flamboyant businessman, who has been increasingly at odds with easyJet in recent years, intends to launch a new carrier.
The airline has already registered fastjet.com, which currently has a holding page that says "Fastjet.com by Stelios. Coming soon!"
In its statement, easyJet said that it had a number of rights under its agreements with Sir Stelios and said that it would take action to protect them as necessary.
Budget carrier easyJet is one of the stars of the low-cost airline world - it was one of the first European low-cost airlines and flies to 29 countries in Europe, carrying over 50 million passengers last year.
