HYDERABAD, India, Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the latest report by Mordor Intelligence, the crane market size is expected to grow from USD 35.82 billion in 2026 to USD 43.78 billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of 4.10% during the forecast period. Rising investments in public infrastructure, large-scale construction projects, and renewable energy installations are supporting demand for cranes across different applications. Government-funded transportation projects, industrial development, and private construction initiatives are creating opportunities for equipment manufacturers and rental providers. The expansion of wind and solar energy facilities is also increasing the need for specialized lifting equipment. In addition, the adoption of electric and hybrid cranes, along with telematics and fleet management systems, is helping operators improve equipment utilization, reduce downtime, and manage operating costs.

Crane Market Trends and Drivers

Growth in Renewable Energy Installations: The expansion of renewable energy projects is creating new opportunities in the crane market, particularly for equipment used in offshore wind farms and large-scale solar installations. Wind energy developments require specialized cranes to install heavy turbine components, while solar projects depend on mobile cranes for handling equipment and support structures. Growing investment in clean energy is also increasing the need for lifting solutions for maintenance, repairs, and component replacement. These requirements are encouraging crane manufacturers to develop equipment suited to the changing needs of renewable energy infrastructure.

Expansion of Infrastructure Projects: Infrastructure upgrades are supporting demand in the crane market as governments and private companies invest in transportation networks, energy systems, data centers, and industrial facilities. These projects require reliable lifting equipment to handle heavy materials and prefabricated structures. The growing use of modular construction is also increasing the need for cranes that offer precise lifting and placement. Meanwhile, workforce training initiatives are helping address operator shortages and support the timely execution of major construction projects.

"Mordor Intelligence's crane market analysis combines reported market data with a consistent assessment of demand drivers, competitive conditions, and regional developments, providing decisionmakers with a transparent basis for evaluating market opportunities and comparing growth prospects across segments and geographies." says Phani Kumar, Senior Research Manager, Mordor Intelligence.

Crane Market Share by Region

The Middle East and Africa crane market is benefiting from major infrastructure developments, particularly in Saudi Arabia, where large-scale projects are creating demand for tower cranes and heavy-lifting equipment. Local manufacturing partnerships are helping improve equipment availability and reduce reliance on imports. Investment in petrochemical facilities and other industrial projects is further expanding the use of cranes across the region.

Asia-Pacific remains an important region for the crane market, supported by infrastructure spending in China and expanding industrial construction in India. Investments in port automation and transportation facilities are increasing the need for efficient lifting equipment. Meanwhile, Japan and South Korea are generating demand through facility upgrades, maintenance activities, and modernization projects.

MORE TO LOVE FROM RAPID REWARDS: SOUTHWEST AIRLINES EXPANDS REWARDS, REDEMPTION, AND MEMBER BENEFITS

New loyalty program benefits, expanded redemption options, premium experiences, and fleetwide Starlink connectivity bring more value to Rapid Rewards

DALLAS, Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Southwest Airlines Co. (NYSE: LUV) announced today the next evolution of its award-winning Rapid Rewards® program, making the loyalty program more rewarding for Customers throughout the travel journey.

Beginning January 1, 2027, Members will see a new lineup of Silver, Gold, and Platinum tiers, new Milestone Rewards to earn along the way to status, more opportunities for Companion Pass® trips, and a faster path to tier status for Rapid Rewards Credit Cardmembers. Additional enhancements will give Members new ways to earn and redeem points through international loyalty partners and to enjoy using points for seat selection and rental cars.

"Rapid Rewards was built on a simple idea: make it easy for Customers to earn and use rewards," said Nandika Suri, Vice President of Rapid Rewards at Southwest Airlines. "As our Members engage more with Southwest, they've told us they want Rapid Rewards to reward them in more meaningful ways, whether they're working toward status or using the points they've earned. These updates build on that feedback by rewarding Members throughout their Southwest experience, while keeping the simplicity and value that have always set our program apart."

More Rewards Along the Way

Rapid Rewards will continue to offer the hallmark benefits that Members value, including no blackout dates, points that don't expire, and flexible options to earn tier status through both Tier Qualifying Points (TQPs) and qualifying flights. The airline is introducing new enhancements to build on that foundation, including:

-

New Platinum status, with Unlimited Companion Pass

Southwest® is introducing a new three-tier structure to give Members more opportunities that unlock valuable benefits as their engagement grows.

Beginning in January 2027, A-List will become Silver and A-List Preferred will become Gold. In addition, Southwest is introducing a new tier to its program—Platinum. Platinum status will sit above Silver and Gold and will include unlimited Companion Pass trips1.

-

New Milestone Rewards; Reach First Reward Before Reaching Silver Status

Starting in January 2027, Members will no longer have to wait until reaching a new tier to receive rewards. Southwest is adding Milestone Rewards along a Member's tier journey2.

- Before Members reach Silver, they'll be able to select rewards like Rapid Rewards points or seat certificates.

- Between Gold and Platinum, Members can qualify to receive three Companion Pass trips.

-

A Faster Path to Tier Status

Beginning in January 2027, every Rapid Rewards Credit Cardmember, including Plus Cardmembers, will earn one TQP for every dollar spent on purchases with a Rapid Rewards® Credit Card from Chase3. This change gives every Cardmember a simpler, faster path to tier status.

More Ways to Use Rapid Rewards Points

-

New International Redemptions

In Spring 2027, Members will be able to earn and redeem Rapid Rewards points for travel through new international airline loyalty partnerships, initially with Icelandair, China Airlines, and Etihad Airways. These partnerships will give Customers access to popular destinations from Reykjavik to Paris, Taipei to Tokyo, and Abu Dhabi to Johannesburg.

-

Use Points for Seats and Rental Cars

Later in 2027, Rapid Rewards Members will also be able to use points for seat selection on Southwest-operated flights, including Extra Legroom and Preferred seats4. Beginning in November 2026, Members can redeem Rapid Rewards points for rental cars across all participating car rental partners directly through cars.southwest.com.

A More Rewarding Travel Experience

In addition to new program rewards, Southwest is introducing new travel experiences:

-

Southwest Icon Lounge™ - A New Way to Experience Southwest Hospitality

The airline is bringing its Hospitality to a new part of the journey in late 2027 with the Southwest Icon Lounge™ network, in partnership with Chase. The lounges will combine premium amenities, thoughtful and local design, and the warmth of Southwest's culture to create distinctive spaces where Customers can relax, get work done, or simply enjoy the lounge before they travel.

The Southwest Icon name celebrates Southwest's 55-year legacy—from Herb Kelleher's people-first philosophy to the Customers and Employees who continue to shape its story.

Access to the Southwest Icon Lounge network will be available through a new, premium, Southwest Rapid Rewards® Credit Card, issued by Chase, launching in 2027.

-

Fleetwide Starlink Connectivity in 2027

Southwest is bringing the fastest WiFi in the sky, powered by Starlink, to its entire fleet. In fall 2027, Southwest expects to become the first major U.S. airline to complete a fleetwide rollout of Starlink, providing access to high-speed connectivity from takeoff to landing.

WiFi is available free to Rapid Rewards Members, thanks to T-Mobile®5.

Chef José Andrés to Debut Signature Restaurant, Rockwell Group Designing the Restaurant, Guestrooms, and Amenity Spaces, and Sage Hospitality Group Curating Guest Experiences and Services

ANAHEIM, Calif., Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- OCVIBE, the 100-acre mixed-use development surrounding Honda Center, today unveiled the design for SENA, Anaheim's first hotel in Marriott's Autograph Collection portfolio. Expected to open in 2029, the hotel, with interiors designed by Rockwell Group, will introduce a series of best-in-class offerings to Southern California, including a signature restaurant from acclaimed Chef José Andrés and a suite of hospitality and guest service experiences led by Sage Hospitality Group.

SENA is set to serve as the district's first hotel and a new hospitality anchor for Anaheim. The 300-plus-key property is designed by the architecture and landscape architecture teams at WATG (Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo). The hotel will connect visitors and locals to OCVIBE's sports, live entertainment, dining, cultural programming, and public gathering spaces while introducing a destination designed to stand on its own within Southern California.

"Bringing together Marriott's Autograph Collection, Rockwell Group, José Andrés Group, and Sage Hospitality Group gives us the opportunity to create a hotel experience unlike anything else in Orange County," said Dan Young, Executive Director of Development at OCVIBE. "SENA will be both a destination in its own right and a front door to everything OCVIBE is becoming – a place where exceptional design, dining, hospitality, and live experiences come together."

Set to be Anaheim's first Autograph Collection Hotel, SENA will maintain an individual identity rooted in OCVIBE while connecting guests to the global reach and loyalty network of Marriott Bonvoy. Autograph Collection properties are distinguished by their individuality, design and strong sense of place, qualities that will be reflected throughout SENA's architecture, culinary program, and relationship to the surrounding district.

"Guided by an ambitious vision, thoughtful design, and an exceptional team, SENA will be an exciting addition to the Autograph Collection," said Noah Silverman, Global Development Officer, U.S. & Canada, Marriott International. "We're incredibly proud to work alongside OCVIBE and Sage Hospitality Group to bring Anaheim's first Autograph Collection hotel to life and to contribute to the continued evolution of this dynamic destination."

"Having spent much of my career in hospitality, I've seen firsthand the power of a strong brand and memorable guest experience," said Mike Waterman, President & CEO, Visit Anaheim. "SENA brings together world-class hospitality, culinary, and design brands while creating something distinctly Anaheim. It reflects the continued evolution of Anaheim and the caliber of experiences taking shape across our destination."

Design that shifts from day to night

Rockwell Group is leading SENA's interior architecture, creating a cinematic sequence of spaces shaped by contrast, movement and atmosphere. Balancing light and shadow, polish and texture, the interiors will evolve throughout the day and become more energetic as day turns to night.

At the center of the arrival experience, a circular lobby bar will serve as SENA's social anchor. Framed by views of Honda Center, South Plaza and OCVIBE's most active gathering spaces, the bar will transition from bright and convivial during the day to warm and atmospheric at night, creating a space where guests can meet, connect or take in the surrounding activity.

"We were inspired by Anaheim's history of imagination and innovation, and we designed SENA around that spirit," said David Rockwell, Founder and President, Rockwell Group. "From the warm glow of the arrival to the lobby's changing atmosphere throughout the day, each space is meant to heighten guests' awareness of where they are and create opportunities for people to gather and connect."

A new culinary destination from José Andrés

SENA's culinary program will feature a signature restaurant from Chef José Andrés. Located on the hotel's ground floor, the restaurant will welcome guests, OCVIBE visitors, and Anaheim residents while bringing a distinctive new dining experience to the heart of the district.

"Anaheim, here we come! It is no secret that I love California…filled with amazing people, bountiful ingredients and energy. My team and I are excited to bring a new restaurant into this community that we look forward to being a part of," shared José Andrés.

The restaurant along with an indoor-outdoor lobby bar will overlook OCVIBE's South Plaza and Honda Center, as well as a pool bar with fire features, lush landscaping, cabanas and music-driven programming. Together, the venues will extend SENA's social experience throughout the day and into the evening.

Southern California Inspired Design

SENA's architecture and landscape architecture by WATG are inspired by its setting along the Santa Ana River and Southern California's natural light. The hotel is conceived as a building that changes with the sky, its exterior catching the colors of passing clouds and shifting light throughout the day. The design connects the natural beauty of Orange County with the vibrant energy of OCVIBE. Its terraced podium (base of the building) and luminous façade will create a warm, welcoming counterpoint to Honda Center while giving the hotel a distinct architectural presence within the district.

"OCVIBE is a special development in the heart of Orange County, and we are honored to be among the design partners bringing it to life," said Greg Villegas, Managing Principal, Architecture, WATG. "We bring years of hospitality design experience into every project type we work on, and for SENA, we envisioned a hotel with an identity all its own yet connected to the energy and character of what will be the OCVIBE entertainment district."

Experiences shaped by Sage Hospitality Group

OCVIBE has selected Sage Hospitality Group to operate SENA, building on Sage's expertise in creating exceptional, experience-led hospitality in dynamic sports, entertainment and mixed-use destinations. Sage will oversee hotel operations and service throughout the property, connecting the guestrooms, restaurants and bars, meetings and events, and the broader entertainment and cultural offerings available across OCVIBE.

Sage's experience operating independent, luxury, lifestyle and soft-branded hotels will support SENA's role as both an overnight destination and a year-round gathering place for leisure travelers, business groups, performers, sports fans and residents.

"At Sage, we believe the most memorable hotels are more than a place to stay. They are living, breathing extensions of the communities around them," said Daniel del Olmo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sage Hospitality Group. "SENA is an opportunity to bring that belief to life in a district built around connection, culture and shared experience. We are excited to create a guest experience that is deeply connected to the energy of OCVIBE and distinctly of Anaheim."

A new hospitality anchor for OCVIBE

SENA will open at the center of the OCVIBE district, a privately funded development transforming 100 acres surrounding Honda Center into a walkable, year-round destination. When fully complete, OCVIBE is planned to include 20 acres of parks and public spaces, three miles of connected walking trails and public art, more than 2,000 residences, more than 35 dining experiences, office space and three state-of-the-art entertainment venues.

The district's first phase, which includes a concert hall, market hall, and office, is expected to open in 2027, followed by SENA in 2029. The hotel will give visitors a new way to extend their experience beyond an individual game, concert or dinner while contributing to OCVIBE's emergence as a new center for gathering, dining and entertainment in Orange County.

Additional information about SENA's accommodations, dining, programming, and opening will be shared as development advances. For images, photos, b-roll, and more information about OCVIBE and SENA visit the OCVIBE Media Center.

About OCVIBE:

OCVIBE is a new district currently under construction in the heart of Orange County, California.

Once fully complete in 2033, the new community will bring 20 acres of open space to Southern California, along with three miles of connected walking trails, more than 2,000 residences, 35+ new dining experiences, and three state-of-the-art entertainment venues.

Led by Dr. Trevor Given, the North Reserve Street office offers early, evening and Saturday appointments, walk-ins and booking through the Aspen Dental app

MISSOULA, Mont., Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Aspen Dental® opened a new supported practice at 3045 N. Reserve St. in Missoula, adding a full-service dental office for preventative, restorative and emergency care. The practice is independently owned and operated by Trevor Given, DMD, a graduate of the University of Louisville School of Dentistry who also owns and operates the Aspen Dental practice in Helena. Ryan Sylvester, DDS, a graduate of Creighton University School of Dentistry, serves as the practice's managing clinical director. The Missoula office provides exams and cleanings, fillings, root canals, extractions, wisdom tooth removal, dental implants, crowns, bridges, and Motto™ Clear Aligners.

"Missoula is a place where people plan their weekends around the rivers and mountains, and nobody wants a toothache to cancel those plans," said Dr. Given. "I've learned that Montanans value a dentist who respects their time and gives straight answers, and I'm looking forward to bringing that to patients here."

The office is on North Reserve Street, part of U.S. Highway 93, which the City of Missoula's Reserve Street Safety Action Plan describes as a shopping and business district for dozens of retailers and a route for daily commutes. The location makes the office easy to reach for patients who want to fit a visit into their regular routines.

Having a dentist close by matters most when a problem can't wait. Montana recorded 4,264 nontraumatic dental visits to emergency rooms in 2022, according to the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services' 2024 Oral Health Workforce Assessment, which notes that hospitals often provide only palliative care for these problems and cannot address the underlying cause. The assessment also puts the state at 56.5 dentists per 100,000 residents in 2023, below the national figure of 60.4.

"An ER visit can ease the pain for a night, but it usually can't repair the tooth that's causing it," said Dr. Arwinder Judge, chief clinical officer at Aspen Dental. "When a patient in pain can see a dentist in Missoula, the problem gets diagnosed and treated, and any follow-up gets planned, all in one office."

"Dr. Given is opening his second Montana practice, and that is something to celebrate," said Lori D'Anna, president, field operations at Aspen Dental. "We're proud to stand behind him to provide operational and business support while he expands access to care in Missoula, so more patients can be seen closer to home."

Patients can start the process before they walk in. The free to download Aspen Dental app, available on the Apple App Store and Google Play, lets patients request emergency appointments for tooth pain, a cracked tooth or a broken denture. It also lets them complete pre-visit steps, view their treatment plan and track their progress. The office also takes bookings online and by phone, welcomes walk-ins, works with many major dental insurance carriers and offers third-party financing. Patients receive a detailed cost estimate before treatment begins.

Office Hours and Scheduling

The Missoula office is now accepting new patients at 3045 N. Reserve St., Missoula, MT 59808. Office hours are:

- Monday – Wednesday: 7 a.m. – 5 p.m.

- Thursday: 9 a.m. – 7 p.m.

- Friday: 8 a.m. – 1 p.m.

- Select Saturdays: 8 a.m. – 3 p.m.

To schedule an appointment, patients can visit aspendental.com, book through the Aspen Dental mobile app or call (406) 215-1079. Walk-ins are welcome.

About Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental, part of The Aspen Group (TAG), is committed to breaking down barriers to oral healthcare and helping patients put themselves first, starting with a healthy mouth. With nearly 1,100 Aspen Dental-branded offices across the United States, Aspen Dental practices offer comprehensive care and are supported by dedicated teams focused on making dental care more accessible and affordable. Through initiatives such as the Healthy Mouth Movement and Day of Service, Aspen Dental and its network continue to expand access to care for those who need it most.

AT&T guarantees to speak to an expert in 5 min, schedule a call back—or will make it right

Key Takeaways:

- Whether customers are buying a new device, seeking technical support, paying a bill, or starting service, they'll connect with a friendly expert within five minutes—or be offered a callback.1

- Customers who pair AT&T Fiber or AT&T Internet Air and wireless service can work with one technical expert, eliminating unnecessary transfers and repeated explanations.2

- If AT&T doesn't meet these commitments, eligible customers will receive a benefit.

DALLAS, Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What's New: AT&T is expanding America's Best Guarantee to deliver a faster, simpler experience. Now, customers who call AT&T can expect an answer in 5 minutes or less and if not, they will be offered a callback at a time they choose. Customers who pair AT&T Fiber or AT&T Internet Air and wireless will have one dedicated technical expert to assist from start to finish. If we fall short of these promises, the Guarantee proactively makes it right with a benefit.

Why it Matters: As Americans push back on the "annoyance economy" of endless hold times, transfers and repetitive processes, AT&T is simplifying support and giving customers time back in their day. A recent AT&T survey conducted by Harris Poll reported that 60% of Americans say getting transferred from one agent to the next is a top pet peeve. More than 3 in 4 Americans say 15 minutes is the most they're willing to wait for customer support. Now, AT&T guarantees a live expert answers within 5 minutes or a callback is scheduled. If we miss the mark, we make it right. Customers value their time—AT&T's latest commitments reduce two of the biggest customer frustrations: long waits and repeated transfers.

Trust by Design: AT&T proactively shares the recap of conversations between their friendly experts and customers. Authenticated customers who opt in can receive an AI-generated recap of their customer care conversation by text—giving them a convenient copy of what was discussed. This allows customers to know what was discussed and what comes next, saving them time and helping prevent the frustration of repeating their story or saving screenshots just in case.

Connecting people all ways and always: At home, at work, and on the go, customers expect to always be connected when it matters most. With America's largest wireless and fiber networks,3 AT&T brings together two of the strongest connectivity assets in the industry—and we're the first and only provider with a guarantee that includes both fiber and wireless networks, with a care experience to match. In the rare event of an outage, we proactively make it right with a bill credit for a full day of service.4 No action required from the customer. We're committed to delivering the simple, smart, and expert experience our customers deserve.

Quotable: "Customers want support that is simple, fast, and transparent," said Jenifer Robertson, executive vice president and general manager, AT&T Consumer. "This is about more than speed—it's about removing friction and earning trust in every interaction. We're setting a clear standard for the experience customers should expect and holding ourselves accountable when we miss it."

The AT&T Guarantee is a promise to always do our best by customers, and to make it right when we don't.
