Plane Talking UK Podcast

Join Matt in the Spare Room Studio, Carlos in Oman and Eoin from Malaga for a rather technically challenging episode. In this week's show we have some good news for Monarch, there was a royal surprise for some lucky BA Passengers, EasyJet are declared the best low cost carrier in Europe and one operator now allows you to pay for your flight in monthly installments. Matt is lucky enough to meet up with one of our listeners at Duxford and we chat to Eoin about what it's like to be cabin crew with a low cost airline.

Join Carlos and Matt as they take their weekly trawl through the big aviation stories. In this episode we discuss problems with one airline as ALL their crews call in sick, we have a passenger jet grounded after it clipped another during take off and one passenger is left with a hefty bill due to an ATC strike. The legendary Pilot Pip also joins us with a great safety briefing. Eyes to the sky's everyone. ;-)

Join Carlos in the Kitchen Studio and Matt via an atrocious digital connection from Clacton-on-Sea as they take their weekly trawl through the week's big Aviation related stories. In this episode we discuss the worrying news that one carrier has grounded their fleet of Dreamliners, a low-cost carrier is offering free flights to see the Northern Lights (but as you might imagine, there is a catch) and we celebrate the youngest 'round the world' pilot. It was a short show this week as Matt's connection was proving to be a little challenging.
