Over the Christmas holidays, two major international aviation stories got Australians talking, with radically different impacts for planemakers.

Airbus was hailed for its innovative aircraft design after everybody onboard an exploding A350 miraculously escaped unharmed.

In this episode, Adam and Jake talk about the latest developments and discuss what impact it will have on the local sector.
