The Aeropedia Podcast

Get the inside scoop on Routes, an amazing forum and network that airlines and airports around the world use to plan prospective new air service. We welcome Deanna Dow, Director of Airline Partnerships at Informa Markets, to explain more about Routes and the critical role its forums and offerings play in fostering new air service.

We welcome Harrison Wolf to the podcast as we take a slight tangent into the world of drones and Harrison's role at the Flight Safety Foundation. Aviation touches so many facets, and we were excited to hear a bit more about this fascinating and growing segment.

What role can aviation play as a personal or corporate investment?  We speak with Shelley Svoren, of Infinite Branches, to find out.  We also get to hear Shelley's unique career path vector into aviation.    

What goes into the perfect cabin design?  How do you achieve great passenger experience while keeping it financially viable?  We welcome Blake Emery to discuss! Hear how Blake tapped "research driven strategy" to help develop the well recognized Boeing Sky Interior. From Airbus' winglets, to new airport openings, listen in to Blake's trivia round, where Blake tips us with a potential future trivia question! 

Courtney Miller joins us again, on a more impromptu episode (let us know how you liked the format), to share some insights into two previous aviation data analyses of his, including how they came about, and how they had an impact. Of course we had to challenge him again on trivia, but threw him a curveball by challenging him to his first trivia round too to see if he retained any trivia from his first Aeropedia appearance.

In this episode we discuss two great aviation topics with our esteemed guest Cristiane Dart: SITA and International Aviation Women's Association (IAWA). Working communications and marketing at both SITA and IAWA, learn more about these organizations and about Cristiane's experience. Yes, of course we challenged Cristiane to a round of Aeropedia Trivia too.  Listen in to hear whether she was familiar with the "Reef Runway", or airport lighting color palettes.

From network carriers to regional, charter to ultra-low cost, our guest Koen Karsbergen of Air52 explains the many different airline business models that exist today. From Saab spotting, to African alliance carriers, Koen proves his #AvGeek chops during the Aeropedia Trivia Challenge!

Join us as we venture into the world of business aviation with our guest Steve Saxton. Also known as corporate aviation or private aviation, we learn about the many facets and breadth of opportunities in this exciting segment of aviation. Stay tuned for the Aeropedia Trivia Challenge round too, and hear whether Steve could remember some of the unique features of the BAe 146 airplanes he used to sell.

David Yu provides us with insight into how finance energizes the aviation industry.  If you aren't a finance person, don't worry, David walks us through in a very engaging and easy to follow way. Even as David predicted he would get no trivia questions right, he proved he does have Aeropedia Trivia Challenge skills.  Listen in to learn what he mastered.

How can airports collaborate on common industry topics?  This week we welcome Adam Zampini from Airports Council International (ACI) to share how ACI helps airports and the global aviation ecosystem. Landing lights, exclusive takeoff and landing runways, and two very similar European airline logos, listen in to hear how Adam did with his #AeropediaTriviaChallenge!
