Australian Aviation
Hosted by Australian Aviation
Two journalists from Australia's legacy aviation publication break down the week's news in commercial, defence, and space aviation.
A weekly news and commentary show where two journalists from the Australian Aviation newsroom unpack the biggest stories of the week. Topics range from major airline fleet decisions and airport infrastructure projects to regional route changes and defence aerospace developments. The hosts' deep knowledge, drawn from their reporting, is presented in an informal, conversational format with plenty of industry inside jokes and banter.
“Directly tied to a long-standing industry publication, the podcast offers a journalist's perspective on the news, often referencing their own reporting and data. The co-host dynamic makes complex topics accessible and more engaging than a straight news report.”
