On this week’s AvTalk, we discuss European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen’s flight to Plovdiv—from initial breathless reports talking of circling for hours, using paper maps to land and “praying for landing” to what the data actually tells us.
Spirit Airlines files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for the second time in less than a year. Ryanair and the Spanish airports operator AENA are fighting, with Ryanair threatening to withdraw 1 million seats from Spain in the upcoming winter season.
And some good news for Embraer as the first E190-E2 goes to Australia and the E2 series wins certification in South Africa.

Interesting your comments about IATA proposing to raise the retirement age for pilots from 65 to 67, could this be connected to the delay of the testing program for autonomous or single pilot commercial passenger operations that was announced earlier this year ??
