Hello and welcome to episode 170 of Avtoc. I am Ian Petchenik here as always with...

Jason Rubinowitz. Hello Ian, how are you doing?

Hello Jason, I am doing well, sir. How are you?

Fine, just fine fine thank you.

That was believable I think.

Yeah I think you'll mirror the sentiment that it's been a pretty uneventful

week personally at least not much.

Yes it's been very busy professionally and we have much much to talk about but yes

personally it has been a rather uneventful week, thankfully, considering the week I had last week.

So I'm glad to be smooth sailing once again.

Yes, nothing to report. No. So on we go. That was I think possibly the shortest

in direction ever. Fantastic. Any episode that we've recorded. So on with it. We've divided the show into kind of three sections this week. We've got the

good news section up at the top although some of these it depends on which

audience you're talking about whether it's good news or bad news.

But then we kind of mix in like the middle half and half good news bad news and then there's some bad news down near the end.

So we'll find a way to end the show, I guess, on a happy note somewhere.

We'll find something to do it, but we'll do it.

So let's start with I guess good news all around except for the people who for whatever reason really hate the A380.

For them I guess it'll be bad news. But for everyone else, this week was the week of A380's either returning to service with airlines or being announced that they will return to service with Airlines.

So let's start with the will return to service.

Lufthansa announced earlier in the week that they would return an undetermined number of A380s to an undetermined collection

of routes by summer 2023.
