May 27th - The shaky state of aviation

It's been a horrific week for the state of aviation as scores and scores of flights have been cancelled last minute for a multitude of reasons. According to my calculations, there's been over 1,000 flights cancelled this week - mostly by British Airways but Easyjet have also had issues with flight paths. I take a look at what's happening and why - and how there's not much hope of improvement in the short-term.Of course this podcast is completely free, as is my weekly travel email.
