Episode 34 - Checking in on AirBerlin, Alitalia, and Ryanair

We start by checking in on the continued woes at AirBerlin and Alitalia (1:10). We also take a look at Ryanair, which once appeared to be one of the highest bidders for some of Alitalia's assets. But now, Ryanair is suffering from extensive operational and commercial fallout over a pilot shortage (16:35). We then move on to Turkish Airlines' blockbuster order for 40 787-9s (30:18). We wrap up the show by discussing new trans-Atlantic routes from Delta in Summer 2018 in nontraditional markets (36:30).
