Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

NEW YORK (Reuter) - A lawsuit brought by Virgin Island-based Virgin Air against Britain's Virgin Atlantic Airways has been settled out of court, Virgin Atlantic said.

It said Virgin Air had agreed to change its name and to dismiss all charges of trademark infringement and unfair competition, against Virgin Atlantic, run by Richard Branson. Virgin Atlantic has agreed to make a contribution of dollars 30,000 to assist Virgin Air with the costs incurred by the name change.

Virgin Air's new name will be Air St Thomas.
