Summary

On this week’s episode of AvTalk, Silver Airways ceases operations immediately and Qantas says subsidiary Jetstar Asia will wind down flights by the end of July. The NTSB releases the preliminary report on the American Airlines 737 fire in Denver. May was a big month for Boeing, with more than 300 orders, while Airbus recorded orders for precisely 0 aircraft. This month’s Paris Air Show has the potential to close the gap.
Southwest is looking at “monetizing its order book,” while American Airlines sends the wrong 787 to Naples. And Condor operates five flights in a failed attempt to get passengers from Zurich to Heraklion.
Note: this episode was recorded prior to the crash of Air India flight 171 on 12 June. Our discussion of the crash will be available in episode 325 next week.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to episode 324 of AvTalk. I am Ian Petchnik, here as always with
0:16.9	Jason Narabinoids. Hello, Ian. How are you? I'm doing well, Jason. How are you? Oh, good. Thank you.
0:24.4	You've had an aviation-filled week, even more so than usual. Yeah. I mean, I haven't really gone
0:31.4	anywhere other than I went to London on work. We have an office at London. Well, I guess it's not
0:37.4	really London.
0:38.1	It's at Heathrow about as close to the runway as you could get without actually being on the airport.
0:44.1	So I participated in some meetings and was a little distracted some of the time.
0:49.6	No big deal.
0:50.8	I believe some of the time might be underselling based on the amount of photos that I've been sent this week.
0:57.6	Yes, except for today where they flip the runways around because the wind had shifted.
1:02.2	So everything is landing way down on the other side of the runway.
1:06.0	We don't really get to see anything.
1:07.2	But when the wind is blowing, I guess, out of the east, everything, if they're landing

1:26.3	one of the busiest airports in the world and one of
1:28.1	the most varied airports in the world so that you see a lot of things here that I just don't get to
1:32.7	see at home and it I may have parked myself in front of the window and you know every two minutes
1:37.2	on the plane lines I got to stop look out the window take a picture take a video or it's very
1:41.6	important to remember what we're all here for. Yeah, exactly.
1:46.0	But it was good. I enjoyed it. So you, that couple of mils ago. You flew to London.
1:52.3	I did. And normally I asked what kind of aircraft did you fly, but today I'm going to ask,
