After the latest episode, despite subscribing to all sorts of airline podcasts, the hosts demonstrated such confident ignorance of how things actually work that I had to unfollow.
I love this podcast. It’s perfect for Aviation enthusiasts and want to know weekly news about what’s happening on the globe in aviation. Don’t stop making this podcast, it’s very entertaining and informative
If you have an interest in aviation then you’ll probably stumble across Simple Flying on the internet. You may subscribe to newsletter and welcome articles popping up on your inbox.

The podcast just hasn’t been the same since Joanna left as co-host. The new(?) guy has been trying, but after so many episodes it’s safe to say he’s just not cut out for podcasting. The podcast has also become far more U.S.-centric than the truly global coverage we got from older episodes. Also, updating this from 2 stars to 1 star because now most of the podcast is just the hosts reading press releases from airlines.
The guy with the accent, why do I hear your breathing when you aren’t talking? 😭😭😭
