Thanks for listening to the AirlineGeeks Podcast. This week, we look first at the European Union Aviation Safety Agency's (EASA's) announcement that it could recertify the Boeing 737 MAX to fly in European skies es early as December 2020. We look back at the changes EASA has required as well as at the implications of updated training requirements. Next, we move to European manufacturer Airbus, which has revealed the first A220 aircraft destined for JetBlue, set to be delivered in December with a special livery. We consider how JetBlue will transition the type into its fleet to replace current Embraer jets, and we speculate on how the A220 might be used in JetBlue's network. Last, we discuss Singapore Airlines' new flight from Singapore to New York's John F Kennedy International Airport, including why the carrier would make the decision to operate such a ling international flights during the coronavirus pandemic.
