#250 SA Aviation on the Brink: 12-Year Engine Rule Chaos & Global MD-11 Shutdowns
Description
🎙️ EPISODE SNAPSHOT
Welcome to the Bryan Air Podcast come for the cockpit chatter, stay for the galley banter… and as always, we're holding short of Taxiway Serious.
In Episode 250, Bryan and Ryan unpack the biggest stories shaking aviation right now: the fallout from the 12-year engine rule in South Africa, the MD-11 cargo crisis, SAA's regional push, FlySafair labour tension, and the never-ending ATC chaos.
Plus: a hard-hitting Captain's Announcement with real travel hacks, and a full round of rugby, F1 and UFC cockpit chatter.
Straight talk, sharp insight, and a little turbulence where necessary.
