“Tariffic” Birthday Greetings & Air Seats!

Travel demand remains strong, but could tariffs be the turbulence ahead for aviation growth? Let’s not dwell too long on that—because we’re also celebrating a terrific birthday for the airline that starts with “E”! Can you guess which one? Tune in to the episode to find out!

In this week’s episode, Alexandra and David dive into a mix of quirky and serious aviation updates:

·From Finnair’s non-reclining business class AirLounge seat (yes, really!),
To reimagining Eurowings catering carts with built-in coffee machines as… champagne & wine fountains?
And of course, April 1st wouldn’t be complete without a few clever fake headlines and light-hearted fun.

On the topic of tariff turbulence, we also explore Roger Hall’s insights on turbulence of the airline kind.

Plus, a sweet cargo story! Mangoes & Apples! Andrew Tan reported on Air India Cargo’s fruity endeavor with over 3,000 varieties of mangoes, along with the airline’s recent integration of Apple AirTags for baggage tracking (and maybe mango tracking too?)
