About this episode

This week, the aviation industry in the UK took to airports across Britain to push the UK government to open its borders, and, just days later, the government announced a new plan to allow the free movement of vaccinated Britons. In this episode of the World of Aviation Podcast, host Adam Thorn and reporter Hannah Dowling discuss changing global policies on travelling for vaccinated people, as well as airline workers begging for stronger deterrents against in-flight abuse. Plus, the team discusses the latest update in Boeing’s 737 MAX fiasco, including the first flight of its 737 MAX 10, as well as a newly introduced compensation fund for the families of MAX crash victims. Finally, the crew talks about the latest news on NASA’s Ingenuity Mars helicopter and its unfortunate, but inevitable, fate.
