Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Europe takes on a bigger share of NATO defence spending and the US loses an E-3 to Iran
Q: What stood out to you in this NATO spending report?
Craig Hoyle highlights how almost all member states reached the 2% GDP target, notes the large overall spending rise, and discusses the nuanced split of defense versus total security and R&D expenditures, including how post-2014 benchmarks are now being surpassed by many members.
The only way is up: Vertical flight on show and Airbus lands a heavyweight of freight
Q: Given all of that, what is the status of the A350F?
The A350F is moving from concept toward a near‑production reality, with two flight test aircraft being prepared for certification and the first deliveries anticipated in 2027, starting with CMA CGM as the initial operator.
The only way is up: Vertical flight on show and Airbus lands a heavyweight of freight
Q: Dominic, you were at VertiCon last week. Well, for those of us who aren't familiar with the show, what exactly is it?
VertiCon is the industry gathering formerly known as HeliExpo, now rebranded to reflect a broader vertical flight focus that includes EVs and other vertical mobility concepts beyond traditional helicopters, with demonstrations of new technology and shifts in the show's audience.
Adding fuel to fire: How are airlines managing fuel price uncertainty?
Q: What are some specific actions airlines are taking in response to elevated fuel costs?
Airlines are trimming capacity, pruning less profitable or off-peak routes, increasing fuel surcharges, and adjusting schedules, with larger carriers like United cutting aircraft activity while still protecting long-term fleet and capacity plans where possible.
Adding fuel to fire: How are airlines managing fuel price uncertainty?
Q: Could you talk a little bit broadly about where we are now in this crisis?
The industry is navigating a multi-faceted shock from the Middle East conflict, with fuel price volatility driving hedging decisions, capacity adjustments, and shifting demand; while some carriers report resilience in demand, others face higher costs and network constraints that will influence guidance well into 2026 and beyond.
