Why Etihad and Condor's Partnership Makes No Sense
About this episode
Dan and Alex discuss recent aviation news, including the partnership between Etihad and Condor, the 737 MAX crisis, and various airline safety issues.
On this episode of On-Air, Dan and Alex cover a packed week of aviation news. They revisit the 737 MAX crisis, tracing the timeline from the Lion Air crash to the Ethiopian Airlines accident and how it reshaped Boeing's reputation. They discuss why airlines retire flight numbers after tragedies, including Singapore Airlines and SQ321, and why fireworks near airports remain a hidden risk, following a Delta A319 struck by a firework on approach to Chicago Midway. They break down the disappearance of a K2 Cargo Boeing 737 over the Arabian Sea, GPS jamming across Middle East airspace, and the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict's impact on flight paths. The conversation turns to Condor's surprising partnership with Etihad on a new Abu Dhabi to Bangkok route, takeover speculation involving Gulf carriers, EasyJet's £5.5 billion takeover bid from Castlelake, and the chaos EES (Entry/Exit System) is causing at European airports this summer.
