Treviso Airport, also known as Aeroporto di Treviso A. Canova (IATA: TSF, ICAO: LIPH), occasionally referred to as Venice-Treviso Airport, is an international airport situated 1.6 nautical miles (3.0 km; 1.8 mi) west-southwest of Treviso and approximately 31 km (19 mi) from the city of Venice, Italy. Primarily utilized by low-cost carriers, the airport is distinct from the principal airport serving Venice, which is Venice Marco Polo Airport. The airport has been a subject of contention among residents of Quinto di Treviso and Treviso due to low-altitude flights and its proximity to the protected area of the Regional Natural Park of the Sile River. This has led to the formation of various committees and civil organizations, including Legaambiente, opposing the airport. Sitting at an elevation of 18 meters above sea level, the airport features a runway direction of 07/25 with an asphalt surface spanning 2,420 m (7,940 ft) in length and 45 m (150 ft) in width. In 2007, a new terminal was inaugurated, named after the renowned Italian sculptor Antonio Canova. In December 2020, Ryanair announced plans to establish a new base at the airport, introducing 18 new routes in addition to existing ones. Regarding ground transportation, the airport offers four parking areas, including three long-term car parks with a combined capacity of 564 spaces, along with an additional 50 short-term parking spaces adjacent to the terminal building. Public transportation options include a bus service operated by Mobilità di Marca, connecting the airport with the Treviso Centrale railway station in the city center. Another bus service operated by BARZI BUS SERVICE links the airport with Venice in 40 minutes via the highway, serving flights for Wizzair and Ryanair. Further coach connections to destinations such as Ljubljana, Padua, and Venice Marco Polo Airport are available from the airport or Treviso city center, with a daily coach service operated by DRD to Ljubljana via Venice Marco Polo Airport and Friuli Venezia Giulia Airport. Additionally, a public bus service (route 101) operates between Treviso and Padua, managed by Mobilità di Marca.

Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport, known in Slovene as Letališče Jožeta Pučnika Ljubljana (IATA: LJU, ICAO: LJLJ), formerly referred to as Brnik Airport (Letališče Brnik), stands as the primary international airport serving Ljubljana and ranks as Slovenia's largest airport. Positioned close to Brnik, it lies 24 km (15 mi) northwest of Ljubljana and 9.5 km (5.9 mi) east of Kranj, nestled at the base of the Kamnik–Savinja Alps. Officially inaugurated in December 1963, the airport replaced Polje Airport in the former Municipality of Polje near Ljubljana, which had served as the city's airport since 1933, marking Slovenia's initial civil airport. Regular flights from the new Brnik airport commenced in January 1964. During the 1980s, Jat Airways offered flights from Chicago to Belgrade, with a nonstop segment from New York City to Ljubljana utilizing McDonnell Douglas DC-10s. However, the flight from Belgrade to Chicago did not include a stop in Ljubljana. The airport faced significant challenges during Slovenia's independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, enduring bombing raids and tragic casualties. Following intense fighting, the airport came under Slovenian control, culminating in the Brioni Agreement. In 2004, the airport celebrated its first annual millionth passenger. Despite this milestone, passenger traffic in 2019 experienced a 5% decrease compared to the previous year, handling 1,721,355 passengers. In 2007, amidst growing air traffic and Slovenia's EU entry, plans were made to expand the passenger terminal to accommodate Schengen and non-Schengen traffic. While the first phase was completed to coincide with Slovenia's entry into the Schengen Area, the second phase was scrapped in 2013. The Slovenian government initiated the privatization process of the airport in 2014, resulting in Fraport acquiring a majority stake. The airport is accessible via the A2 motorway and bus services connecting it with Ljubljana, Kranj, Kamnik, and Klagenfurt in Austria. While plans for a railway line have been presented, their realization remains uncertain. Transport options to and from the airport include bus and shuttle connections to major Slovenian cities, with the Alpe Adria bus line serving Klagenfurt. Additionally, taxi services and shared shuttles are available, albeit not controlled by the airport authority or Fraport Slovenija.

Trieste Airport, with IATA code TRS and ICAO code LIPQ, also known as Aeroporto di Trieste in Italian, is situated just 0.3 nautical miles (0.56 km; 0.35 mi) to the west of Ronchi dei Legionari in the Province of Gorizia, near Trieste in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of northeastern Italy. Serving as an international airport, it caters to a catchment area of approximately 4 million people, extending beyond Friuli-Venezia Giulia into neighboring Slovenia, Austria, and Croatia. The history of the airport dates back to November 30, 1935, when it was recognized as the airfield for the 4th Fighter Wing of the Royal Italian Air Force. Commercial operations commenced officially on December 2, 1961. In 2007, the airport was dedicated to Pietro Savorgnan di Brazzà, a notable 19th-century explorer with ties to Friuli. Subsequently, in 2016, it was officially rebranded as Trieste Airport. Over recent years, there has been notable growth in both low-cost and cargo traffic at the airport. Owned and operated by Aeroporto Friuli Venezia Giulia SpA, a company jointly owned by F2i and the Friuli-Venezia Giulia government, the airport boasts connectivity to national railway and highway networks through the Intermodal Transit Hub, which was completed in March 2018, facilitating seamless air-road-rail interchange. Rail access to the airport is provided via the Trieste Airport railway station, which connects directly to the Venice–Trieste railway via a 425-meter long raised walkway. For road transportation, a bus terminal with 16 platforms, along with a multi-storey car park offering 500 parking spaces and a grade level car park with 1000 spaces, ensures swift access to and from the A4 Trieste-Turin highway for both public and private vehicles. Moreover, the southern direction of this highway provides connections to Slovenia's A1 Motorway via crossings at Fernetti and Rabuiese, further linking the airport to highway networks in Croatia, Hungary, and the Balkans. Additionally, at the interchange near Palmanova, the A4 branches off to Autostrada A23, connecting to Austria's Süd Autobahn A2 via Udine and Tarvisio.

The Pļaviņas Hydroelectric Power Station, the Baltics' largest, stands along the Daugava River in Aizkraukle. Constructed in 1968, it faced protests in 1958 due to environmental concerns.

Tsiigehtchic, meaning 'mouth of the iron river,' officially recognized as the Charter Community of Tsiigehtchic, is a Gwich'in settlement positioned at the junction of the Mackenzie and Arctic Red Rivers in Canada's Northwest Territories within the Inuvik Region. Previously known as Arctic Red River, it underwent a name change on April 1, 1994. The Gwichya Gwich'in First Nation calls Tsiigehtchic home. According to the 2021 Census by Statistics Canada, Tsiigehtchic recorded a population of 138 individuals residing in 59 out of 73 total private dwellings, signifying a -19.8% change from the 2016 population of 172. Spanning 47.89 square kilometers (18.49 square miles), the community exhibited a population density of 2.9/km2 (7.5/sq mi) in 2021. In 2016, the community reported 130 individuals identifying as First Nations and 10 as Inuit, although only 5 people listed an Indigenous language (Gwich’in) as their mother tongue. The Dempster Highway, NWT Highway 8, traverses the Mackenzie River at Tsiigehtchic. During winter, vehicular traffic crosses over the ice, while the rest of the year relies on the MV Louis Cardinal ferry for transportation. The ferry operates at Tsiigehtchic, connecting the eastern bank of the Arctic Red River and the southwestern and northeastern banks of the Mackenzie River, linking the two segments of the Dempster Highway. Notably, this community lacks a permanent airport, unlike most others in the NWT. In early September 2007, near Tsiigehtchic, local resident Shane Van Loon discovered a steppe bison carcass, dating back to approximately 13,650 cal BP (Before Present) through radiocarbon dating. This discovery represents one of the earliest known Pleistocene mummified soft tissue remains from the glaciated regions of northern Canada.

Bodegas Osborne traces its roots to 1772 when a young English merchant, Thomas Osborne Mann, ventured to the Cádiz region, initially selling wines and later consolidating various wineries in El Puerto de Santa María under the now-renowned brand, Osborne. Over nearly 250 years, Osborne evolved into a prominent business group with global renown. Since the late 19th century, Osborne has expanded its reach, establishing a factory in Tomelloso, La Mancha, contributing significantly to the brandy production of the Osborne Group. Additionally, Bodega Montecillo, a Osborne-owned winery founded in 1870 in Fuenmayor, specializes in Rioja DO wines. In the 1990s, Osborne's growth continued with the construction of a winery in Malpica de Tajo, Toledo, featuring an 800-hectare vineyard. Here, under the Solaz brand, the winery offers a diverse range of red, white, and rosé wines. Further diversification unfolded in 1999 when Osborne ventured into producing Ribera del Duero wines under the Señorío del Cid label. Expanding its portfolio, in 2007, Osborne introduced DO Rueda wines under the same brand, showcasing its commitment to expanding and refining its wine offerings across different regions and appellations.
