Description

In this week's show: British Airways signs a major deal with Starlink to provide every customer in every cabin free Wi-Fi;  Qantas Airways' 1st Airbus A350‑1000ULR for Project Sunrise takes shape in Toulouse; and the FAA grounds all MD-11 and MD-11F fleets pending inspections in wake of Louisville crash. It is also easyJet's 30th birthday this week and we'll talk about little about that too.
 
In the military: Airbus Defence has delivered the first A400M tactical transport aircraft to the Indonesian Air Force and sadly there has been an accident to a Turkish Air Force C-130 which occurred after departure from Azerbaijan.
 
On the lighter side of things, we have a highly amusing caption competition this week, that features Captain Al as the most mentioned person in the comments. I can't imagine why...
 
We'll also give you some more details about our 600th show which is going to take place in May 2026.
