AvTalk Episode 351: Our favorite conversations from 2025

On this week’s episode of AvTalk, we’re beginning 2026 by looking back at a pair of our favorite conversations from 2025.  Throughout the year, we focused a lot on the seemingly unending stream of news and what it meant for the aviation industry, but we also had a chance to speak with some very interesting people.

We first revisit our conversation with Eliska Hill, Senior Vice President for Cargo at Air Partner. We chatted about her career path, how the cargo market has evolved post-COVID, and some of the more interesting shipments she’s had to deal with.

And then we sat down with Katherine Moloney, pilot and founder of Elevate(her) Aviation, an organization dedicated to raising the percentage of women in aviation careers around the world. Elevate(her)’s research has led to some obvious immediate changes that would be beneficial to the industry overall and others that offer a more sustainable path to growing the number of women joining—and staying—in aviation.

Thank you all so much for listening to AvTalk, we truly appreciate all of you! We’ll be back next week with our first new episode of the year as we take on all the news that’s happened while we’ve been on break, including the first real-world use of Garmin’s Emergency Autoland system and updates on the investigation into the crash of Azerbaijan Airlines flight 8243.
