In this special episode of the Australian Aviation Podcast, host Phil Tarrant and guest Adam Thorn talk about how politics, science and aviation will collide in 2021.

Will hotel quarantine remain? Will we need to be vaccinated to travel? Are airlines sticking or twisting in bringing planes and staff back?

Finally, the pair predict the date the New Zealand travel bubble will open.
