Richard Aboulafia, an industry analyst and VP of analysis at Teal Group, joins The Geeks this week as we talk airplanes. It turns out that Richard is not only very knowledgeable about the aviation industry, but he’s also very funny. We spend almost the entire hour talking with him about the news:
Airlines’ on-time performance improves in Oct.
Analysts see worrying trend in airport incursions
Embraer Phenom Wins Brazilian Certification
Bombardier to bring CSeries 110 to market first
ANA Mulling Seeking Compensation On Boeing 787 Delay
Airbus and Boeing plan loans for buyers
AIA dailyLead Special Report: Looking forward to 2009
Max’s pick of the week is a double shock with Aircraft Nicknames and Aviation Alias. Both sites offer the endearing and sometimes humorous nick-names we give our aircraft.
