HONG KONG, Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — At AERO Asia 2025, Sino Jet, the Asia-Pacific’s biggest business aviation company, has formally executed a definitive procurement contract for 50 units of the AE200 eVTOL through collaboration with Aerofugia, China’s premier electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle manufacturer. This strategic maneuver constitutes Sino Jet’s proactive initiative to architect a comprehensive three-dimensional transportation infrastructure, delivering frictionless, environmentally sustainable, and highly efficient next-generation mobility solutions to discerning clientele. The agreement officially inaugurates the “business aviation + eVTOL” revolutionary transportation paradigm into an unprecedented scale of delivery and commercial deployment.

Strengthening Strategic Collaboration for a New Low-Altitude Mobility Ecosystem

Since establishing a strategic partnership and signing a letter of intent for 100 eVTOLs in 2023, the two parties have advanced their collaboration from joint product development to co-creating application scenarios and co-building infrastructure. The execution of these initial 50 AE200 firm orders represents a pivotal advancement in the strategic collaboration between Sino Jet and Aerofugia, advancing from conceptual framework to concrete implementation, thereby establishing a commercially-oriented deep integration paradigm. Leveraging internationally certified highest-standard safety management protocols, extensive aviation asset management expertise, and comprehensive global service capabilities, Sino Jet is positioned to deliver full-scale commercial operational support for the AE200 eVTOL platform.

Addressing the assembly, Li Yuanfeng, Group President of Sino Jet, remarked: “We are spearheading a fundamental paradigm shift in transportation methodologies. This partnership extends far beyond conventional aircraft acquisition, fundamentally concentrating on the synergistic integration of business aviation’s long-haul operational excellence with eVTOL’s adaptive short-haul connectivity capabilities, thereby establishing a secure, streamlined, and eco-conscious multi-dimensional transportation framework. Our mission encompasses extending our exemplary high-altitude operational standards to encompass the low-altitude transportation domain, thereby establishing transformative industry benchmarks.”

Focusing on Ecosystem Co-Building and Systematically Advancing eVTOL Commercialization

Ensuring robust strategic execution, Sino Jet will leverage core competencies to engage in comprehensive industrial collaboration with Aerofugia. Initially, concerning safety protocols, Sino Jet will methodically embed its internationally certified premier business aviation operational safety management framework into AE200’s operational architecture, encompassing continuous airworthiness oversight, Safety Management Systems (SMS) implementation, and comprehensive personnel development, thereby establishing superior safety parameters beyond conventional industry standards.

Regarding infrastructure development, Sino Jet will pioneer integration of its comprehensive national FBO network resources, strategically developing and implementing eVTOL landing facilities across principal commercial districts, thereby efficiently connecting the “last mile” of three-dimensional transportation.

Simultaneously, within commercial application exploration, Sino Jet will harness a sophisticated understanding of premium customer requirements, partnering to investigate varied deployment scenarios encompassing airport connectivity services, intercity transport networks, and cultural tourism destinations, ensuring optimal alignment between operational models and market specifications. For airport transit scenarios specifically, the eVTOL “point-to-point” air mobility framework is projected to diminish ground-based travel duration for downtown-to-airport journeys by 50%, successfully mitigating traffic congestion while delivering exceptional temporal value and operational predictability for clientele. The AE200 platform with capabilities including vertical takeoff/landing operations, zero-emission propulsion, minimal acoustic signature, 230 km/h maximum cruise velocity, and 200 km operational radius has emerged as the optimal infrastructure for realizing this strategic vision.

Co-Creating Green and Intelligent Aviation, Shaping the Future of Three-Dimensional Mobility

With the low-altitude economy formally designated as a national strategic emerging sector, China’s metropolitan air mobility market is experiencing unprecedented growth opportunities. Through this eVTOL procurement agreement execution, Sino Jet not only demonstrates visionary leadership in facilitating industrial transformation but also emphasizes corporate accountability for establishing a sustainable development trajectory. The “business aviation + eVTOL” multi-dimensional mobility framework will redefine high-end transportation paradigms, functioning as a vital conduit connecting principal urban metropolitan areas.

“We stand at the threshold of transportation methodology transformation,” Li Yuanfeng projected, “The execution of this 50-unit firm order commitment represents a significant milestone in our strategic partnership with Aerofugia. Looking forward, regulatory framework advancement and infrastructure maturation will catalyze the accelerated development of a comprehensive low-altitude transportation network linking core commercial districts, transportation nodes, and integrated urban clusters. Building upon this foundation, Sino Jet will persist in driving industry innovation, collaborating to inaugurate a new era in China’s low-altitude economy, delivering unprecedented temporal value and mobility experiences for our clientele.”

Accord Healthcare Announces Launch of Denosumab∇ – Second Biosimilar in Bone Health

By
Advertorial Desk
-

∇ This medicine is subject to additional monitoring. This will allow quick identification of new safety information.

LONDON, Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Accord Healthcare today announced the launch of Osvyrti (denosumab), a biosimilar to Prolia® (Amgen), and Jubereq (denosumab), a biosimilar to Xgeva® (Amgen), following the scheduled expiry of the reference medicine’s patent on 27 November 2025.

Both medicines were approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in September of this year following trials versus their reference product showing they are highly similar to the Prolia® (Amgen).

Denosumab marks the company’s second biosimilar launch within its bone health portfolio, further expanding Accord’s commitment to improving patient access to high-quality, cost-effective medicines in areas of high clinical need.

Supporting clinicians and healthcare systems in bone health

Osvyrti (denosumab) available as a 60 mg pre-filled syringe is indicated for1:

  • The treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and in men at increased risk of fractures.
  • The treatment of bone loss associated with hormone ablation in men with prostate cancer at increased risk of fractures.
  • The treatment of bone loss associated with long-term systemic glucocorticoid therapy in adult patients at increased risk of fracture.

Jubereq (denosumab) available as a 120 mg vial is indicated for2:

  • Prevention of skeletal related events (pathological fracture, radiation to bone, spinal cord compression or surgery to bone) in adults with advanced malignancies involving bone.
  • Treatment of adults and skeletally mature adolescents with giant cell tumour of bone that is unresectable or where surgical resection is likely to result in severe morbidity.

“Both OSVYRTI and JUBEREQ have been approved for a wide variety of bone-related indications, including osteoporosis and bone loss from the treatment of certain kinds of cancer,” said Paul Tredwell, Global CEO of Accord Healthcare. “These biosimilars have the potential to provide a large number of patients with treatment alternatives that lessen cost as a barrier to accessing proven therapies. At Accord, we are passionate about leading biosimilar adoption, and OSVYRTI and JUBEREQ represent important progress in expanding access, supporting our strategic drive to have 20 biosimilars on the market by 2030.”

Addressing the burden of osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a chronic condition characterised by reduced bone mass and structural deterioration, leading to an increased risk of fractures.

It affects more than 200 million people globally, with around one in three women and one in five men over 50 years experiencing osteoporotic fractures in their lifetime. As populations age, the prevalence and economic impact of osteoporosis are expected to continue rising, placing additional pressure on healthcare systems.

OSVYRTI

  • Comparable increases in lumbar spine BMD at 12 months (6.25% vs. 6.36%).
  • Equivalent pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, safety, and immunogenicity profiles.
  • Low anti-drug antibody incidence (≤1.6%) in both treatment groups, with no neutralising antibodies observed.
  • No impact on efficacy or safety following treatment switch from the reference medicine to Osvyrti.
  • These results support Osvyrti as a biosimilar and clinically interchangeable alternative to reference denosumab

JUBEREQ

  • Proven bioequivalence to the reference denosumab, with no clinically meaningful differences in efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics profile or immunogenicity
  • Compared to their HRQOL status before experiencing their first SRE, patients with metastatic prostate cancer showed marked scores across quality-of-life domains following an SRE (Skeletal-Related-Events)
  • Superior, sustained prevention of skeletal related events for >2 years, delaying time to first event vs. zoledronic acid
  • No dose adjustments required in patients with renal impairment

Notes to editors:

  • Osvyrti (denosumab) is a biosimilar to Prolia® (Amgen).
  • The Phase 3 study (INTP23.1) was conducted in accordance with EMA and FDA biosimilar development guidelines.
  • Prolia® is a registered trademark of Amgen Inc.
  • This information is intended for healthcare and trade media and is not intended for use with patients or the general public.

About OSVYRTI and JUBEREQ
The approval of OSVYRTI and JUBEREQ was based on results from two trials: a Phase I trial and a Phase III trial that met their primary endpoints. The Phase I trial was a randomized, double-blind, three-arm pharmacokinetic (PK) study comparing JUBEREQ to Xgeva in healthy adult males. The study demonstrated that PK parameters were found to be comparable between the two products.4 The Phase III study was a randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, parallel arm, multicenter study comparing PK/PD, efficacy and safety of OSVYRTI to Prolia in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. The clinical study results demonstrated that OSVYRTI and its reference product, Prolia, are highly similar, and have no clinically meaningful differences in terms of PK, PD, safety and efficacy.2,4

About Accord Healthcare
Accord Healthcare is one of the fastest-growing generic and biosimilar pharmaceutical companies in the UK and Europe. Through its focus on quality, accessibility, and sustainability, Accord works with healthcare professionals and the NHS to improve patient outcomes and deliver value across therapeutic areas including oncology, bone health, and autoimmune disease.

Race to Get Aid to Asia Flood Survivors as Toll Nears 1,200

Low-lying areas of Sri Lanka's capital were flooded on 30 November 2025 after a powerful cyclone triggered heavy rains and mudslides across the island, killing at least 212 people and leaving many more missing. (Photo credit: ISHARA S. KODIKARA / AFP)

By Alfath Asmunda with Amal Jayasinghe/AFP – Governments and aid groups in Indonesia and Sri Lanka worked to rush aid Tuesday, 2 December, to hundreds of thousands stranded by deadly flooding that has killed around 1,200 people in four countries.

Torrential monsoon season deluges paired with two separate tropical cyclones last week dumped heavy rain across all of Sri Lanka and parts of Indonesia‘s Sumatra, southern Thailand and northern Malaysia.

Climate change is producing more intense rain events because a warmer atmosphere holds more moisture, and warmer oceans can turbocharge storms.

The floodwaters have now largely receded, but the devastation means hundreds of thousands of people are now living in shelters and struggling to secure clean water and food.

In Indonesia’s Aceh, one of the worst-affected regions, residents told AFP that survivors who could afford to were stockpiling supplies.

“Road access is mostly cut off in flood-affected areas,” 29-year-old Erna Mardhiah said as she joined a long queue at a petrol station in Banda Aceh.

“People are worried about running out of fuel,” she added from the line she had been in for two hours.

The pressure has caused skyrocketing prices.

“Most things are already sky-high… chillies alone are up to 300,000 rupiah per kilo ($18), so that’s probably why people are panic-buying,” she said.

On Monday, Indonesia’s government said it was sending 34,000 tons of rice and 6.8 million litres of cooking oil to the three worst-affected provinces, Aceh, North Sumatra and West Sumatra.

“There can be no delays,” Agriculture Minister Andi Amran Sulaiman said.

Food shortage risk

Aid groups said they were working to ship supplies to affected areas, warning that local markets were running out of essential supplies and prices had tripled already.

“Communities across Aceh are at severe risk of food shortages and hunger if supply lines are not reestablished in the next seven days,” charity group Islamic Relief said.

A shipment of 12 tones of food from the group aboard an Indonesian navy vessel was due to arrive in Aceh on 2 December.

At least 631 people were killed in the floods across Sumatra, and 472 are still listed as missing. A million people have evacuated from their homes, according to the disaster agency.

Survivors have described terrifying waves of water that arrived without warning.

In East Aceh, Zamzami said the floodwaters had been “unstoppable, like a tsunami wave.”

“We can’t explain how big the water seemed, it was truly extraordinary,” said the 33-year-old, who like many Indonesians goes by one name.

People in his village sheltered atop a local two-storey fish market to escape the deluge and were now trying to clean the mud and debris left behind while battling power and telecommunications outages.

“It’s difficult for us (to get) clean water,” he told AFP on Monday.

“There are children who are starting to get fevers, and there’s no medicine.”

The weather system that inundated Indonesia also brought heavy rain to southern Thailand, where at least 176 people were killed.

Across the border in Malaysia, two more people were killed.

Colombo floodwaters recede

A separate storm brought heavy rains across all of Sri Lanka, triggering flash floods and deadly landslides that killed at least 390 people.

Another 352 remain missing, and some of the worst-hit areas in the country’s centre are still difficult to reach.

President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has declared a state of emergency to deal with what he called the “most challenging natural disaster in our history”.

Unlike his Indonesian counterpart, he has called for international aid.

Sri Lanka’s air force, backed by counterparts from India and Pakistan, has been evacuating stranded residents and delivering food and other supplies.

In the mountainous Welimada region, security forces on 1 December recovered the bodies of 11 residents buried by mudslides, a local official said.

In the capital Colombo meanwhile, floodwaters were slowly subsiding on 2 December.

The speed with which waters rose around the city surprised local residents used to seasonal flooding.

“Every year we experience minor floods, but this is something else,” delivery driver Dinusha Sanjaya told AFP.

“It is not just the amount of water, but how quickly everything went under.”

Rains have eased across the country, but landslide alerts remain in force across most of the hardest-hit central region, officials said.
