Join Carlos, Nev, Armando and Matt for today's programme.

In this episode where Nev joins Carlos and Matt in the PTUK Studio we find that one low cost carrier's rescue plan loses momentum, it all gets rather physical on a flight from Prestwick to Tenerife and there's a big acquisition made by one Doha based carrier.

Pip shares with us his experience on a recent flight to Switzerland.

In the Military an airshow is cancelled due to some serious flooding and the UK orders a Wedgetail.

We're planning a PTUK / PSP / APG meetup at Duxford's Imperial War Museum on Sunday 12th May 2019. Send us an email to register your interest to [email protected].
