On this week’s episode of AvTalk, we discuss the Crowd Strike outage and why it took Delta Air Lines so much longer than everyone else to get their operations back on track. The FAA is increasing scrutiny of Southwest Airlines after a third low descent incident in just four months—this time a flight approaching Tampa was as low as 150 feet nearly 5 miles from the runway. A Saurya Airlines CRJ-200 crashes on departure in Kathmandu we discuss what we know so far. As Airbus celebrates EASA certification of the A321XLR, we sit down with Gary O’Donnell, the head of the A321XLR program, to learn more about what it takes to get an aircraft from the drawing board to the skies.
