AvTalk Episode 313: Turn off the airport, and turn it on again

On this week’s episode of AvTalk, the lights are back on at Heathrow and investigation into what happened is in full swing. We discuss the Transport Safety Board of Canada’s preliminary report on the Endeavor Air accident in Toronto, including the sequence of events leading up the landing and some the challenges faced during the evacuation.

En route to Shanghai, a pilot discovers he’s forgotten his passport; and a Southwest Airlines crew forgets what a runway looks like and attempts to depart on a taxiway. It looks like Boeing is going to trial and Airbus is pushing ahead with hydrogen. And one restaurant gives Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary a taste of his own medicine.
