Scrapped aircrafts and delayed terminals

Cruising Altitude, the show all about aviation and aeronautics, is back  for it’s third edition! Tune in for a small collection of current news,  stories and personal impressions. Take off is on thursday, July 1, at 8  p.m. on Campusradio Karlsruhe!

Currently aviation accounts for roughly two to three percent of man-made global carbon emissions. The industry is aware that the step away from  fossil fuels, towards renewable sources is a necessary one – not just to  protect the environment but also to ensure the future of commercial  aviation. Mid May, Air France demonstrated an important and impressive feat – their first sustainable flight powered by Biofuel. What role cooking oil plays here, LaGuardia’s new skybridge and Airbus’ conversion of the A380 production line are topics in this month’s episode of  Cruising Altitude. Tune in on Thursday, June 3, at 8 p.m.

The Airbus A380 promised to change the way we travel and yet only 10 years after its first commercial flight, the aircraft are being scrapped and pulled out of service. But what went wrong? That and the topics of the delayed Frankfurt Airport Terminal 3 and Jetblue’s new A321LR featuring Airbus’s new interior design named “Airspace” are topics Josh Bayless will be talking about in Cruising Altitude’s first Podcast episode. Tune in tonight at 20:00 CET on Campusradio Karlsruhe!
