Chicago O’Hare Replaces London Heathrow As No. 1 Most Connected Airport
27.9.2022 11:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
OAG, the world’s leading data platform for the global travel industry, today released Megahubs 2022, the Top 50 most internationally connected airports in the world. Last updated in 2019, Megahubs provides fresh insight into how ongoing travel disruptions are affecting global connectivity.
While London Heathrow (LHR) maintained its first-place ranking among European hubs, its global ranking dropped from #1 in 2019 to #22 this year. Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) and Frankfurt Airport (FRA) experienced similar drops, falling out of the top 10 to #27 and #30.
U.S. airports dominated the global Megahubs, with Chicago O’Hare (ORD; #1), Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW; #2) and Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL; #3) finishing as the top three most connected airports in the world. Mexico City Juarez International Airport (MEX) is the highest ranked non-U.S. Megahub ranking #8, up 7 spots from its #15 ranking in 2019.
“The global market has yet to fully recover post-pandemic. While the U.S. currently dominates due to its strong domestic market, we could see Europe and other global hubs catch up in the next 12 months as the industry works towards a full recovery,” said John Grant, chief analyst at OAG.
The most connected Megahub in Asia Pacific is Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) as Hong Kong International Airport dropped out of the Top 50. Mumbai International Airport (BOM) ranked #6 in Asia Pacific as Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) dropped to #12.

Eurooppalaisia yrityksiä uhkaa "näkyvyyskuilu", kun tekoäly määrittelee hakua ja asiakashankintaa uudelleen16.6.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Tiedote
Eurooppalaisilla yrityksillä on aiempaa vaikeampaa tavoittaa asiakkaita verkossa, ja ne kamppailevat epäselvyyden kanssa siitä, mikä ajaa kasvua. Näin kertoo digitaalinen ekosysteemipalveluntarjoaja team.bluen ensimmäinen vuotuinen Euroopan liiketoiminnan tila -raportti. Yli 10 000 yritykseltä 32 maassa tehty tutkimus varoittaa kasvavasta "näkyvyyskuilusta" eurooppalaisille yrityksille – syvenevästi katkoksesta heidän verkkonäkyvyytensä ja kyvykkyytensä välillä ymmärtää, vaikuttaa ja mitata sitä, miten asiakkaat löytävät heidät. Asiakashankintamaailma muuttuu nopeammin kuin useimmat yritykset ehtivät sopeutua: lähes joka kolmas yritys (30,6 %) raportoi, että asiakkaiden tavoittaminen verkossa on vaikeutunut viimeisen kahden vuoden aikana. Löytämisen kenttä on samanaikaisesti rikkaampi ja pirstaloituneempi kuin koskaan ennen – dynamiikka, jonka team.blue on nimennyt "Näkyvyystaloudeksi" (Visibility Economy). Yritysten luottamus siihen, miten asiakkaat löytävät heidät, on heikentynyt Kun

Signaloid Announces Availability of Amazon AWS Machine Image (AMI) for Accelerating Compute Workloads Ranging from Finance to Reinforcement Learning16.6.2026 07:00:00 EEST | Press release
British computing technology company Signaloid today announced the release of the Signaloid Compute Engine Amazon Machine Image (AMI) via AWS Marketplace. The release enables organizations to deploy Signaloid’s distribution-extended compute hardware (UxHw®) technology within their Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). The AMI provides access to UxHw, which delivers orders-of-magnitude performance improvements on x86_64 and ARM (AArch64) AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances. Without requiring software rewrites, UxHw enables existing applications to compute directly on probability distributions, automating algorithms such as Monte Carlo methods in finance and physics, importance sampling in reinforcement learning, and particle filters in physical AI and robotics. The technology works through binary translation and optimization at the LLVM intermediate representation (LLVM IR) level, with optional hardware acceleration via FPGAs and Signaloid’s C0-ASIC that was recently taped-out in
