Episode 161 - Airplane Popsicles

Written By Next Trip

Aired on December 26, 2022

We’ve talked about deicing planes before they takeoff but how do we keep them from turning into 737 popsicles when they’re sitting at the airport. Drew talks about processes to keep airplanes and ground equipment from freezing over before he goes in to deal with -1F temperatures. Doug is about to fly to Munich before Christmas Eve - will it be festive or sad? See the pictures below. Also on this episode:

  • Do civilians care if they are on a narrow or widebody plane?

  • Congress extends Boeing’s deadline to get the 737 Max 7 and 8 certified

  • SAS is back at JFK, with an A321, not a 747

  • This year’s busiest airports by aircraft movements and passenger volume
