As Victoria and NSW's long lockdowns linger on, the aviation industry is quietly readying itself for the quicker-than-thought return of international travel. In this week's episode of the Australian Aviation Podcast, Adam Thorn and Hannah Dowling ask if the industry is prepared to get planes flying again, with confusion over how COVID-safe protocols will work. And with foreign airlines circling to snap up locked-down Aussie aviation workers, does the industry have a plan to keep hold of its best people? Finally, the pair discuss the future of vaccine passports as Rex opts in as the UK opts out.
