Episode 312 - Spooky Circuits

Join Carlos, Nev, Matt S and Matt C for this week's show.

In this week's episode everyone's favourite low cost airline go out on some ghost flights, we learn about the various ways the aviation industry is helping to tackle the outbreak, there's good news for frequent fliers as the tiered thresholds are reduced helping to retain their status and one regional carrier flies it's first plane into Heathrow.

In the military we learn that the Broncos are returning to US Service for training and the Israeli and US Air Force hold joint F35 in Drill.

We talk to Matt C about the A320 Lounge and it's range of teaching aids designed to help keep you current.
