AvTalk Episode 89: The recovery that isn’t

On this episode of AvTalk, Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization details the chain of events that led to the downing of Ukraine International Airlines flight 752. The NTSB issues its report on the Atlas Air 3591 crash. And US airlines begin backing away from ambitious recovery plans as COVID-19 cases are again on the rise.

The NTSB held its board meeting on the crash of Atlas Air 3591 to determine the probable cause of the crash in Texas.

ICJ issues ruling in Qatar blockade case
