Episode 578 - Island Blues and Overruns | Plane Talking UK | Aviation Podcast

In this week's show: The UK and Channel Islands regional operator Blue Islands ceases trading and cancels flights; Jet2 is to offer flights from Gatwick for the first time; and a maintenance error led to the overrun of an American 737 at Dallas/Fort Worth last year.    In the military segment: The U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff confirms the F-47 next-generation fighter jet will take its first flight in 2028.    We'll also give you some more details about our 600th show which is going to take place in May 2026. Spaces are running out quickly so be sure to let us know if you plan on coming. Nev will give us an update later.    We are extending the competition for another week with a fantastic prize to give away – Nik will tell you all about that later in the show.    And we have another cracking Retro Airline Ad Of The Week segment which will take us all back down memory lane.   You can get in touch with us all at : WhatsApp +447446975214 Email [email protected] or comment in our chatroom on YouTube.
