What are ‘frangible’ structures, and why are they so important for runway safety at airports? We answer this question and many more in the next issue of AIR.
Next time, we explore the debacle over passenger refunds. Has confusion during the pandemic implicated a need for more clarity and standardisation over the way that airlines handle refunds in the future?
