Plan for new airport hangar to be built
Plans have been announced for a new hangar to be built at a regional airport.
Teesside International Airport in Darlington will house the structure to store a fleet of planes and provide office and workshop space.
It will be used by Draken, which provides training for organisations such as the RAF and the US Air Force and recently signed a £173m contract with the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to retain its operations at Teesside Airport.
Planning documents said: "The new hangar will provide a modern facility for the storage of aircraft that meets government energy performance requirements."
The site is about 1.35 hectares and is currently a piece of undeveloped grassland within the airport grounds.
The airport said Draken already occupied two hangers at the site and the new structure would be next to them, with a new parking area also created.
The documents said the hanger would support their L-159 "Honey Badger" fighter planes.

L&T issues Rs 500 crore ESG bonds under SEBI's new framework
Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has become the first Indian corporate to issue an ESG bond under the Securities and Exchange Board of India's (SEBI) newly introduced ESG and sustainability-linked bond framework. The ₹500 crore issuance marks a significant milestone in India's sustainable finance journey, with HSBC acting as the sole lead arranger. 'We take pride in leading the transition to sustainable finance under SEBI's new ESG framework,' said a senior spokesperson from L&T. 'This bond issuance reinforces our steadfast commitment to sustainable development and responsible business practices while aligning our finances with environmental targets.' Advertisement The SEBI framework, announced on June 5, is aimed at enhancing transparency, accountability, and alignment with international ESG standards. It requires issuers to disclose sustainability goals, obtain external assessments such as Second-Party Opinions (SPOs), and provide post-issuance reporting. Clear Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and measurable targets are also mandated to track ESG outcomes. As part of the bond deal, L&T has committed to reducing the intensity of fresh water withdrawal and greenhouse gas emissions—steps aligned with its broader goals of achieving water neutrality by 2035 and carbon neutrality by 2040. 'We are pleased to partner with L&T on the first INR Sustainability Linked Bond under SEBI's guidelines, reinforcing our commitment to supporting the Clean Energy Transition in India. We look forward to partnering with corporates across sectors looking to navigate the paths toward their sustainability goals,' said HSBC India.

Constellium Joins America Makes Project to Advance Use of Aluminum Additive Manufacturing in Defense and Aerospace
PARIS, June 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Constellium SE (NYSE: CSTM) today announced the kick off of a new collaborative project with Nikon Advanced Manufacturing (Nikon AM), America Makes, and a team of industry leaders to expand the use of its Aheadd® CP1 aluminum alloy for additive manufacturing in defense and aerospace applications. The $2.1 million project is funded by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense's Manufacturing Technology Office (ODS ManTech) through America Makes, the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute. This project is led by Nikon AM with the collaboration of ASTM International and 3Degrees, along with guidance from top defense contractors including Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Honeywell Aerospace Technologies, and others. 'This project underscores the power of collaboration to drive meaningful innovation,' said Ludovic Piquier, Senior Vice President, Manufacturing Excellence and Chief Technology Officer at Constellium. 'Aheadd® CP1 continues to demonstrate its value in additive manufacturing, and we look forward to unlocking even greater potential in the aerospace and defense industries with our partners.' 'Nikon AM is proud to lead this initiative,' said Behrang Poorganji, Ph.D., Vice President, Technology, Nikon AM. 'Additive manufacturing (AM) offers many opportunities for the aerospace and defense markets, and material selection is a key to AM success. We are excited to support the United States' Defense Industrial Base with this groundbreaking project using Nikon SLM Solutions' large-format, multi-laser NXG XII 600 series laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) systems.' Constellium's Aheadd® CP1 is a high-performance aluminum alloy designed specifically for additive manufacturing. Its strength, thermal conductivity, and excellent printability—allowing high-speed productivity and stability to avoid post-processing—make it ideal for demanding applications such as heat exchangers and other mission-critical components. The project will generate key material property data through testing on Nikon SLM Solutions' L-PBF systems. Results will be shared via the Workbench for Additive Materials (WAM) database to support qualification and use by defense and aerospace manufacturers. About Constellium Constellium (NYSE: CSTM) is a global sector leader that develops innovative, value-added aluminum products for a broad scope of markets and applications, including aerospace, packaging and automotive. Constellium generated $7.3 billion of revenue in 2024.
