Listen Later

In Episode 20 of On Air, Dan and Alex deliver a timely deep dive into the state of the aviation industry heading into summer 2025. They explore the strategic significance of the Paris Air Show, touching on delays in aircraft production, Boeing’s uncertain participation, and supply chain disruptions impacting cabin retrofits. The duo critiques Global Airlines’ chaotic inaugural A380 flights operated by Hi Fly, highlighting poor execution, inconsistent service, and branding confusion—despite the impressive feat of getting an A380 airborne. They speculate on the airline’s unclear future and discuss better market strategies, like lean transatlantic routes using the A321XLR. A passionate discussion follows about launching a modern airline from scratch—Dan dreams of an Athens-based premium carrier linking Europe, Asia, and Africa. Listener questions wrap up the episode, covering turbulence fears, A330 seat layouts, and the mystery of Alex’s career. This episode is packed with insight, humor, and aviation hot takes you won’t want to miss.
