Target names insider Michael Fiddelke as next CEO as Brian Cornell steps down
Target Corp. has named longtime executive Michael Fiddelke as its next chief executive officer, succeeding Brian Cornell when he steps down on February 1, 2025. The leadership change comes as the retailer struggles with declining sales, consumer boycotts, and intensifying competition from Walmart and discount chains. Fiddelke, currently Target's chief operating officer, has been with the Minneapolis-based company for two decades. He is credited with modernizing Target's supply chain, expanding digital services, and improving operational efficiency. In May, he was tapped to lead a new office focused on faster decision-making to accelerate growth. The incoming CEO outlined three immediate priorities: restoring Target's merchandising authority, improving the in-store shopping experience by keeping shelves stocked and stores clean, and investing in technology to strengthen both physical and digital operations. Cornell, 66, has led Target since 2014, steering the company through a major data breach, a store-brand revitalization, and the pandemic-era surge in sales. While he repositioned Target as a style-driven retailer and expanded same-day fulfillment through the Shipt acquisition, sales momentum has faded in recent years. Comparable sales have now declined or remained flat in eight of the last ten quarters. Industry analysts expressed mixed reactions to the internal appointment. While some praised Fiddelke's track record, others said hiring from within risks perpetuating 'entrenched groupthink' that may not address deeper strategic challenges. Target reported a 21% drop in net income in its latest quarter, with a 1.9% decline in comparable sales. Analysts note the brand has lost traction with higher-income shoppers, while Walmart and TJ Maxx gain ground. Cornell will transition to executive chair of the board as Fiddelke takes over, tasked with reviving Target's 'Tarzhay' reputation for affordable style.

Sanctions-hit Indian refiner Nayara turns to dark fleet, tanker data shows
NEW DELHI: Indian refiner Nayara Energy, backed by Russia and under European Union sanctions, isrelying on a dark fleet to import oil and transport refined fuels, according to shipping reports and LSEG flows. Nayara, which controls about 8% of India's 5.2 million barrel-per-day refining capacity, has been struggling to transport fuel since being placed under EU sanctions in July, a move that prompted shippers to back out, forcing the refiner to cut its crude runs. India, the world's third-largest oil importer and consumer, abides by UN sanctions and not unilateral actions, allowingrefiners to import oil and ship products in vessels also under EU sanctions. This month, Nayara has imported at least seven cargoes of Russian oil, including on sanctions-hit vessels Centurion, Mars 6, Pushpa, Horae and Devika, formerly known as Apar, according to shipping reports and LSEG data. All were carrying about 700,000 barrels of Russian flagship Urals crude, the data shows. India's Nayara exports first gasoline since sanctions, sources say Nayara did not respond to an email seeking comment. Prior to the sanctions, Nayara was selling about 70% of the refined fuels produced at its 400,000 bpd day Vadinar refinery in western Gujarat state through its local network of more than 6,600 fuel stations, and exporting the rest. Nayara, majority owned by Russian entities including Rosneft , is seeking government help to secure ships and maintain stable operations at the refinery, where it has cut runs to 70-80% of capacity. A shipping source said Indian lines that undertake overseas voyages are not willing to carry oil and refined products for Nayara, while an official at a company that regularly shipped Nayara's refined products said they could not get insurance cover for their vessels in such cases. Another shipping source said Russian entities were helping Nayara arrange ships. According to LSEG trade flows, the company has used the Next, Tempest Dream, Leruo, Nova, Varg, Sard and Uriel – all under EU sanctions - to ship refined fuels, mainly gasoline and gasoil. Some of the vessels were renamed after being placed under sanctions. Evgeniy Griva, Russia's deputy trade representative to India, on Wednesday said Nayara is getting oil supplies from Russian oil major Rosneft and is not facing problems.

Staff shortages at India's aviation regulator and air traffic control threaten safety, lawmakers say
NEW DELHI: An Indian parliamentary committee on aviation has warned that staffing shortages at the country's air safety regulator and lack of air traffic controllers pose a threat to safety in one of the world's fastest growing aviation markets. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation is grappling 'with a profound and persistent shortage of technical and regulatory personnel,' with almost half of its posts unfilled, the committee said in a report on Wednesday. Lawmakers were reviewing aviation safety in India in the aftermath of the deadly Air India Boeing Dreamliner crash that killed 260 people in June, the world's worst aviation disaster in a decade. A few days before the crash, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had addressed an annual global meeting of airlines in New Delhi, underscoring how India is banking on a boom in aviation to support wider development goals. Staffing shortages at the DGCA were 'an existential threat to the integrity of India's aviation safety system,' said the transport, tourism and culture committee report that also followed several helicopter accidents in northern India. India aviation watchdog finds 263 lapses at Indian airlines in annual audit It said the root of the crisis lay in an outdated recruitment model under which a recruitment agency hires personnel on behalf of the DGCA. The civil aviation ministry, which houses the regulator, has described the process as 'slow and inflexible,' according to the report and the DGCA faces a challenge in attracting and retaining highly skilled professionals. The ministry and the DGCA did not respond to emailed requests for comment. Civil aviation minister Ram Mohan Naidu told lawmakers last month that the government would fill up 190 of the more than 500 unfilled positions in the DGCA by October. The parliamentary committee recommended launching a focused recruitment campaign and suggested a new regulatory authority could be created to replace the DGCA. The committee also said India's air traffic controllers were under immense pressure due to staffing shortages caused by failures in workforce planning. Some air traffic controllers were not adequately trained, the committee added. The report criticised the Airports Authority of India and the DGCA for a 'deeply troubling practice' of not following duty time limitations for the controllers, saying that raised the risk of fatigue and increased the chances of a controller error.
