Episode 579 - Dodgy Door Handles and Cabin Fires

In this week's show: A Boeing 737 flies at 37,000 feet with a door handle sticking out; 8 passengers on an SAS flight were taken to hospital after a fire in the cabin (not a lithium-ion battery surely!) and we take a look at the UK's latest Government proposals to finally build a third runway at Heathrow. In the military: Boeing secures a $877m MH-47G helicopter order from the US Special Operations Command; and the New Zealand Air Force signs a contract for 2 A321XLR strategic transport aircraft. We'll have the results of our competition as well as the latest news of our 600th show preparations for May of next year. And of course, no show would be complete without a Retro Airline Ad of the Week video to play you. This week we travel back to the 1980's with good old BA.
