The Air India flight to London Gatwick carrying 242 people, which crashed shortly after takeoff on June 12, marked the latest aviation disaster of 2025.
We’re still waiting for the investigation into the cause, which is expected to take some time.
With aviation disasters seemingly on the rise this year, the safety of air travel has come under increasing scrutiny, alongside questions around climate change and its relationship with air travel safety.
Joining us to explain how safe air travel currently is and the future of aerodynamics in the face of rising global temperatures is Dr Guy Gratton, associate professor of Aviation and the Environment at Cranfield University.
Dr Gratton has nearly 40 years of aviation experience, including a PhD and three commercial pilot licenses.
