Airline Business Podcast

Join executive editor Graham Dunn and managing editor Lewis Harper as they discuss signs of slowing in the performance of carriers in Europe and elsewhere. They also examine IAG’s potential purchase of Spanish carrier Air Europa and the latest developments in Brazil as the country’s government attempts to kick-start growth of commercial aviation. FlightGlobal's executive director of content Max Kingsley-Jones then joins Lewis to talk through developments from this year’s Dubai air show, including a raft of orders from Emirates and some new 737 Max deals for Boeing.
