On this week’s episode of AvTalk, we discuss all that has happened in Middle East airspace over the past week—from the US attack on Iranian nuclear facilities and elaborate diversion flights to the Iranian retaliation against US bases in Qatar and the subsequent airspace restrictions to the fragile cease fire and the gradual opening of airways.
We also ponder why nearly two weeks after the crash of Air India flight 171, investigators have still not reviewed the data from the flight data recorders even as both were recovered just days after the crash. And the NTSB holds its probable cause board meeting for the mid-cabin exit door plug blowout aboard Alaska Airlines flight 1282, find that Boeing’s safety culture and the FAA’s lax oversight contributed to the door plug’s ejection from the aircraft as it passed 15,000 feet last January.

Thank you for your comment. Kindly note that this episode was recorded on 25 June and we will discuss updates in next week’s episode. Thank you!
Hey I took a flight on 7 Nov. 2024 LH7252 which was code shared flight with Air India and operated with Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
Flight had issue with flaps just after push back and returned to gate. After 4 hrs of repair took off but was not behaving in right way. Can you tell was it VT-ANB aircraft.
As a retired very senior international captain with a major airline, I think the black box data should be read within several days of recovery. It is ridiculous for authorities to wait any time to read what should give the reason for a crash. This Indian Air event was so unusual and away from normality it should be considered immediately for the sake of others flying that particular aircraft.
hi there, please make the transcript available
many thanks
First time watching !!
