Your support helps us to tell the story
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.Aviation is the arena where the most progress seems to be made. FlightRadar24 allows an astonishing degree of insight into what planes are where at any moment of the day or night - fascinating for those engrossed with the mechanics of travel, invaluable for people grounded at Gatwick and wondering where their plane might be.
Singapore airport continues to lead the world in many aspects of making aviation more civilised, and the airport’s app is a simple but effective guide to making the most of SIN - and ensuring you don’t miss your flight. It also has a shopping guide, and emphasises that sales tax is not charged on any purchase in the airport - whether you are travelling or not.
For a company that once rubbished the power of the world wide web, Ryanair is to be applauded for playing catch-up well - with its new app matching the best that other airlines offer, and including the valuable feature of on-device boarding passes, removing the tedious necessity to print out a paper copy.
