DLD 218: Smoothing connections

Alt text: The image shows the interior of a modern airport terminal with a high, arched ceiling. The terminal is bustling with travelers, some standing in line at check-in counters and others walking through the area. There are several signs and information boards, as well as kiosks and counters along the sides. The architecture features large windows allowing natural light to illuminate the space.

DLD 206: London Calling, with some IROPs chaos along the way

The image shows a British Airways Concorde aircraft parked on the tarmac at an airport. The aircraft is white with a red, white, and blue tail fin. There are various ground support vehicles and equipment around the plane, and a fence surrounds the area. The sky is overcast, and the surrounding area includes some buildings and grassy patches.

Daytime flights from the east coast of North America to London can be a great way to help recover from jetlag. But starting on the west coast can make them a mess. Fozz and Stephan both did that last week and agree that it isn’t a great idea. Plus, a stolen Q400, terminal dumps in Germany, and finally a use for the new Berlin airport!

DLD 190: Get your engine running, head out on the skyway

The image shows a close-up view of a jet engine undergoing maintenance. The engine's outer casing is partially removed, revealing the intricate internal components, including the fan blades and the central rotor. There are maintenance platforms and scaffolding around the engine, indicating that it is being worked on. The image captures the detailed engineering and complexity of the jet engine.

Aircraft engines are causing more than their share of issues these days. Failures on the ground and in the air are raising lots of questions. We’re mostly about asking them, not answering them in this episode. Plus cabin retrofits, new planes, routes and more.
