Episode 575 - Regional Closure and ATC Shortages

In this week's show: The regional operator Eastern Airways ceases flying as they appoint an administrator; US airports report over 20 air traffic controller shortage incidents in just one day; and Ryanair issues an urgent warning to all passengers over new boarding pass rules from November.

In the military: Turkey finalises a deal to acquire 12 ex-Royal Air Force C-130J tactical transport aircraft; and 'bad fuel" may have caused recent back-to-back Nimitz aircraft crashes.

We have the last part of the interview with Alan Munro – this is a really good one we have to say and we think you'll enjoy more of Alan's anecdotes from when he was in the RAF and then into the world of civilian flying.

We also have an exciting announcement to make regarding where and when our 600th show is going to be. That's going to be coming up at the end of the show, so stay tuned!
