Join Carlos, Nev, Armando (via video) and Matt for this week's
programme.
On today's show we ask can COVID-19 be blamed for the collapse of
the UK's biggest regional carrier? A mechanic is sentenced to 3
years in prison for aircraft tampering and there's big delays at
Frankfurt due to a drone incident.
In the military the Air Forces Top General has bad news for the
KC46 programme and a UAV manufacturer wants to give aerial tankers
their own missile-laden drones.
