We kick off with a high five to Bryan & Ryan for being aviation friends for 10 years, we met on the first day we started at SA Express and were paired as Sim partners for CRJ training. We chat about the South African charter industry, and nearly a big mistake by government this week, that could have lead to international airlines like Emirates cancelling their flights to South Africa. Lot's mentio...

The host has just returned from a well deserved break. SAA mothballed, SAX has some previous employees as preferred buyers for the airline, we stay goodbye to the A380 and the 737-Max saga continues.

Local tourism heats up, the Mango CEO is outa here AGAIN.. Boris Johnson has quarantine on the brain and not a single scripted word about when the South African borders will open.

No Instrument landing system available at certain South African Airports,  Level 2 lockdown on the cards and maybe even a cold beer.

A thought for the pilots that can...
