  • Episode 558 - Big Profits, Power outages and Trainer replacements
    In this week's show: London Heathrow reports a profit of 2 billion pounds this year, but this also coincides with the rather unfavourable report into the recent major power outage that was actually warned about 7 years ago; Vietnam Airlines suspends 4 pilots after a taxiway collision in Hanoi; and Qantas takes delivery of its first Airbus A321XLR.    In the military: The RAF will be receiving a replacement for its ageing Hawk fast jet trainers – with the new aircraft potentially being made in Britain; and the US Air Force Terminates the E-7 Wedgetail Early Warning Aircraft Program      We'll also go back to the Duxford air display where Nev spoke with Mike Smith of the Duxford Aviation Society about the challenges of maintaining an incredible fleet of aircraft at the site.

  • Episode 557 - Offloaded Water Bottles
    Join the hosts as they take you through all the news from around the world and across the UK.  In this week's show Wizz Air asks passengers to ‘pre-select’ themselves for being offloaded from overbooked flights, British Airways faces a backlash over water bottle removal trial on some US flights, and some good news regarding UK funding to help disadvantaged youngsters become pilots and engineers. In the military: Some Airbus A321 aircraft are to be modified into “Flying Frigate” patrol jets by France and we discuss rumours that Boeing might resume production of the C-17 Globemaster III.    Nev's also got a nice interview clip from Pete The Irish Pilot as he speaks with Ady Dolan from NATS at LHR tower.    We'll also have the first look at some of the content that we gathered at last week's Duxford Air Show. It was a very busy show as usual and the weather was extremely hot to say the least! Take part in our chatroom to help shape the conversation of the show.

  • Episode 555 - Place your Boeing and Airbus Bets Now
    In this week's show: we look at the continuing B787 production delays for American Airlines, a new British Airways policy on the use of social media down route (or anywhere on the line for that matter) and United's decision to temporarily suspend Starlink WiFi on board their aircraft due to reported interference with pilots' communication systems.    In the military: The German Air Force is to equip their A400M aircraft with infrared protection systems capability and the story of an RAF pilot's final flight after 45 years in the air. That would actually require quite a lot of fuel and a considerable number of comfort breaks, but hopefully you'll understand what I mean!    We'll also be discussing the sad death of prolific author and aviator, Frederick Forsyth who passed away this week aged 86.
