Jet fuel prices have doubled. Airlines are cutting schedules, cancelling routes, and quietly grounding aircraft. Today On-Air, Dan and Alex break down the deepening global aviation fuel crisis triggered by the US-Iran conflict and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. From Sydney Airport warning of no fuel guarantees, to US carriers with zero hedging exposure, to European hubs weeks from running dry - no market is safe. They cover airline groundings, soaring fares, fuel tankering, the 1970s energy crisis parallel, and answer listener questions on whether your upcoming flight is at risk.

Today On-Air, Dan and Alex discuss the LaGuardia Air Canada Jazz CRJ-900 collision with a fire truck exposes a US air traffic control system stretched to its breaking point — one controller, alone in the tower, making a split-second mistake no single person should bear. Dan and Alex break down the crash, the systemic failures behind it, and the cascading global impact of the Middle East conflict on aviation: Gulf carrier flight counts, SAS mass cancellations, jet fuel price spikes, Norwegian stepping in, and Asian carriers capitalizing. Plus: Air France KLM and Lufthansa CEO comments calling out Gulf carriers — and why Dan thinks that take is completely off base.
