Episode 378 with A320 Andy

Join Carlos, Nev and A320 Andy for this week's programme. In this week's show, there's a bit of unstable approach into Paro (to put it mildly!), Qatar are grounding some more of their A350s for inspection and EasyJet are feeling more confident about the passenger loads that they are expecting this year. In the military the RAF concludes 30 years of service with its Boeing E-3 Sentry, the RAAF codifies a new role for its C-27 Spartans after the recent Australian wildfires, and the UK Tempest Fighter program moves on to its next phase. We also take a look at Carlos and Nev's trip to the Old Buckenham Airshow last week.
