Lumen Technologies Surpasses 1,000 Customers with NaaS Growth
Lumen Technologies has surpassed a significant milestone by crossing the 1,000-customer mark on its expanding Network-as-a-Service platform. This achievement underscores the growing demand for flexible, scalable enterprise connectivity solutions as businesses accelerate their digital transformations. NaaS, which enables organisations to streamline and scale their network infrastructure without the need for heavy investments in hardware, has become an essential offering in today's fast-evolving technology landscape. The milestone reflects the increasing shift toward software-defined networking and cloud-based solutions, driven by the need for agility in business operations. Lumen's NaaS platform offers an array of services, including secure, high-performance connectivity, cloud networking, and edge computing capabilities. It has become increasingly attractive for enterprises looking to enhance their network infrastructure while lowering operational costs and improving scalability. Lumen's success with its NaaS offering comes at a time when businesses across various sectors are accelerating their adoption of AI and data-driven operations. With AI continuing to reshape industries, including finance, healthcare, and manufacturing, companies are turning to services like NaaS to meet the demand for high-speed, secure, and adaptive connectivity. ADVERTISEMENT One of the primary reasons behind NaaS's rise is the flexibility it offers compared to traditional network models. Unlike conventional networking solutions, which often require upfront capital expenditure for hardware and lengthy setup times, NaaS allows businesses to pay for what they use, thereby optimising costs. This pay-as-you-go model appeals to organisations seeking to streamline their IT operations while remaining agile in an increasingly competitive market. Several prominent players have already embraced Lumen's NaaS platform. The company has built a strong base in sectors such as finance, telecommunications, and cloud computing, where reliable, scalable connectivity is a key business enabler. Notably, Lumen's partnership with top technology providers has strengthened its position in the competitive NaaS space, offering integrations with major cloud platforms such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. The broader trend of businesses embracing NaaS reflects a shift in IT decision-making, with more companies opting for managed services over traditional on-premises hardware. As organisations migrate more workloads to the cloud, the need for on-demand, high-performance network services becomes critical. In fact, Lumen's NaaS platform is designed to support this cloud-centric model by providing a seamless, flexible network experience across global regions. AI's increasing role in shaping network management capabilities is another factor accelerating NaaS adoption. Lumen has incorporated artificial intelligence into its platform, allowing businesses to automate network functions, optimise traffic routing, and predict and prevent potential disruptions before they occur. This combination of NaaS and AI-driven automation provides businesses with the tools needed to maintain optimal network performance without extensive manual oversight. The global shift toward hybrid and multi-cloud environments is also contributing to NaaS growth. As businesses diversify their cloud infrastructure, the demand for highly flexible network solutions that can support multiple cloud platforms has surged. Lumen's NaaS offering is built with these hybrid architectures in mind, enabling companies to link different cloud environments seamlessly while maintaining control over their network performance and security.

Flydubai to add 12 aircraft in 2025 but still 20 short of goal
Flydubai will receive 12 new aircraft this year, though it remains 20 planes behind its original delivery projections, the airline's chief executive said Thursday. The Dubai-based carrier has taken delivery of seven Boeing 737 MAX 8s in 2025, with five more expected before year-end, bringing its fleet to 93 aircraft. In a report on Khaleej Times, CEO Ghaith Al Ghaith said the deliveries are part of a backlog that has been delayed in recent years, impacting the airline's expansion plans. Airlines in the UAE and globally have faced delays in aircraft deliveries, with Flydubai noting last year that Boeing's updated schedule had significantly affected its growth strategy. Despite the challenges, Flydubai has added 11 new destinations this year, including Antalya, Al Alamein, Damascus and Peshawar. Four more European destinations — Chisinau, Iasi, Vilnius and Riga — are scheduled to launch between September and December, expanding the carrier's network to more than 135 destinations in 57 countries. Financing for the first seven aircraft delivered this year has come from a mix of Islamic financing through Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, conventional debt from the National Bank of Ras Al Khaimah, and sale-leaseback agreements with JP Lease Products & Services and JLPS Ireland Limited. Al Ghaith said the additional aircraft will help the airline open new routes, optimize operations and strengthen Dubai's role as an international aviation hub.
