Is it safe to fly through Dubai right now? On 14 July, EASA, the regulator behind every European airline, told its operators to avoid the airspace of Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the UAE at all altitudes, until at least 29 July. Dubai International is open. Emirates is flying one of its busiest summers ever. Both of those things are true at the same time, and this episode explains how.   I read the actual conflict zone bulletin word for word, unpack the one word in it that should get your attention (misidentification, the MH17 and PS752 word), separate the three things people keep mashing together (the airspace, the airport, the airlines), and walk through the real routing choices from Johannesburg to Europe. Then I give you my honest answer: what I would do flying alone, and what I am doing differently when my wife and kids are next to me.   In this episode of The Bryan Air Podcast, Bryan Roseveare explains the EASA conflict zone bulletin, Dubai airspace restrictions, Gulf airspace safety, whether Dubai airport is open, why Emirates is still flying, Dubai flight cancellations, and how to reroute from Johannesburg to Europe without the Gulf.   TIME-STAMPED FLIGHT PLAN   00:00 The EASA warning, read word for word   01:40 Misidentification: the word that scares pilots   02:48 Why now: the 72 hours before the bulletin   03:15 Airspace, airport, airlines: three different things   04:20 Do you even need the Gulf?   04:31 Joburg to Europe: every routing option   05:24 Why airlines are reacting so differently   06:33 What avoiding the Gulf actually costs you   07:17 Flying solo vs flying with your family   09:18 The takeaway: two risk models   I'm Bryan Roseveare.

In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview Ryan Rusnak, CTO and co-founder of Airspace. Ryan shares how, as a psychology graduate with a passion for technology, he found his way into solving one of the most critical logistics challenges in the world. Ryan reflects on his journey from building websites and software applications to studying human-computer interaction where he learned that great software isn't about writing code—it's about deeply understanding what users actually need. That philosophy became the foundation for Airspace, a company focused on ensuring time-critical shipments—from transplant organs and medical materials to aircraft parts and other high-priority cargo—arrive on time when every minute counts.Ryan also dives into the evolution of AI from practical business tools to today's generative AI revolution, explaining how Airspace has leveraged machine learning and neural networks for years to improve routing decisions and operational efficiency. He shares the unforgettable story of landing Airspace's first customer, discusses building a mission-driven culture that attracts exceptional talent, and offers insights into balancing automation, quality assurance, and user experience in a high-stakes environment. See why Ryan Rusnak measures success by impact rather than attention in this episode of The First Customer!Guest Info:Airspacehttps://www.airspace.com/Ryan Rusnak's Emailryan@airspace.comConnect with Jay on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jayaigner/The First Customer Youtube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@thefirstcustomerpodcastThe First Customer podcast websitehttps://www.firstcustomerpodcast.comFollow The First Customer on LinkedInhttp://www.linkedin.com/company/the-first-customer-podcast/

On July 1, 1976, the National Air and Space Museum opened its doors to the public. It was an unforgettable debut for an iconic building, complete with a flyover from the Air Force's Thunderbirds, speeches from President Gerald Ford (and a certain Apollo astronaut), and a ribbon-cutting triggered by a signal from a spacecraft on its way to Mars. There was nothing quite like the National Air and Space Museum at the time, and thousands of people lined up on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. to be among the first to see artifacts like the Spirit of St Louis, the Apollo command module Columbia, and the Wright Flyer in the new building. Millions more have come through our doors over the last 50 years, and the Museum has continued to reinvent itself for future generations. Today on AirSpace, we're launching our four-part limited series 50 Years of Air + Space with the story of our Museum's Opening Day.Thanks to all our guests in this episode (by order of appearance): Dr. Bob van der Linden - Acting Chair of Aeronautics Dr. Ted Maxwell - Retired Chair of the Center for Earth and Planetary Studies  Dr. Tom Crouch - Emeritus Curator Dr. Cathleen Lewis -  Curator of International Space Programs and Spacesuits Dr. Michael Neufeld - Emeritus Curator and Smithsonian Historian Dr. Lonnie G Bunch III - Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution Find the transcript for this episode and more information at s.si.edu/50YearsE1.Subscribe to our monthly newsletter at s.si.edu/airspacenewsletter.AirSpace is made possible with the generous support of Lockheed Martin.

As drone operations expand, regulation could easily fragment across FAA, DHS, DoD and others. Instead, there's growing coordination to manage both safety and security across that system.

We'll be back soon with new episodes of AirSpace! In the mean time, here's a treat from our friends at Sidedoor.Orville and Wilbur Wright have been immortalized as the men who opened the skies to human flight. But could they have achieved such great heights without the wind beneath their wings—their sister? Katharine Wright was her brothers' biggest champion, official spokesperson, closest confidante, and the only one of the Wright siblings with a college degree. For years, Katharine, Wilbur, and Orville were inseparable—until tragedy and a love affair upended everything. This is the story of the Wright sibling that history almost left out.Guests: Thomas Paone, curator at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum Tom Crouch, curator emeritus of the aeronautics division at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum and author of The Bishop's Boys: A Life of Wilbur and Orville Wright You can find the transcript of this episode and more information on our website.

According to newly surfaced documents and flight records, Jeffrey Epstein continued to traffic women through British airports and even military airfields up until a month before his arrest in July 2019. Analysis of his private jet's movements shows Epstein's aircraft landed at UK airports — including Luton, Stansted, Heathrow and RAF bases like Northolt — more than 60 times, and that he booked commercial and private flights for women into and out of the UK as late as June 2019. Police in multiple regions, including the Metropolitan Police and several county forces, are now investigating whether these flights were part of a trafficking network that used British airports and airfields as transit points for victims. Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown has urged authorities to release flight logs and pursue these allegations, especially around potential trafficking involving both civilian and RAF facilities.The renewed scrutiny has highlighted gaps in earlier law enforcement responses; British police previously declined to open a full investigation despite claims that girls and young women were flown into the UK on Epstein-linked flights. Records also show his jet landed at RAF Northolt as recently as 2015, two years later than previously believed, and investigators are examining dozens of flight logs for possible trafficking evidence. The issue has also intersected with broader political controversy, notably questions about whether former prince Prince Andrew used RAF bases or chartered flights to meet with Epstein, which Andrew has denied. Critics say more urgent and coordinated action is needed to fully understand how Epstein's international movements may have facilitated abuse and human trafficking through British airspace.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein trafficked women through British airports until just a month before his 2019 arrest as he took more than 60 flights including many to RAF bases | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In today's episode of Trending Middle East, a fragile regional ceasefire comes under renewed pressure after Israel launches strikes across Iran in response to overnight Iranian missile and drone attacks. Several neighbouring countries respond by tightening security measures, with Iraq closing its airspace, Syria suspending flights in parts of the country and Jordan activating air-raid sirens. US President Donald Trump urges both sides to avoid further escalation while acknowledging the challenges facing ongoing negotiations to end the conflict and reopen a path to diplomacy. As the Fifa World Cup begins in North America, concerns grow over immigration enforcement and security procedures after Iraqi and Iranian football officials report entry and visa issues. And in Abu Dhabi, more than 1,000 job opportunities for Emiratis are being offered through the Manufacturers 2026 exhibition as the UAE continues its push to increase private-sector employment among citizens. Trending Middle East is AI-assisted, using original reporting published in The National and curated and edited by humans.

One of the most commonly asked questions about living and working in space is where and how the astronauts sleep. Watching the astronauts set up their sleeping arrangements on the recent Artemis II mission around the moon got us thinking about this topic again, so we're revisiting a favorite episode from 2022. Sleeping in space goes back almost as far as there have been people in space (specifically, a cosmonaut who caught some shuteye in 1961). Astronauts have slept in capsules, shuttles, space stations, and even on the Moon. Sleep is an important part of an astronaut's health, particularly for longer duration missions. But from noisy crewmates to spaceship sounds and even the sheer excitement of it all, sleeping in space hasn't always been easy. To find out what it's really like, we speak with former astronaut Mike Massimino who relates his shuttle sleeping experience to a big slumber party.  We're catching Zs in zero-G, today on AirSpace.Thanks to our guest in this episode: Mike Massimino, former astronautFind the transcript for this episode and more information at https://s.si.edu/AirSpaceSleep.Subscribe to our monthly newsletter at s.si.edu/airspacenewsletter.

In the late 1940s and early 1950s, helicopters were creating quite a buzz. After limited use during World War II, manufacturers ramped up production and enthusiasm for vertical flight soared. Although the dream of “a helicopter in every garage” never quite materialized, more civilian pilots earned their helicopter ratings. One of them was Jean Ross Howard, who became the 13th woman in the world to do so. In 1955, Jean brought together every woman helicopter pilot she could find to form an organization known as the Whirly-Girls.Today on AirSpace, Matt and Emily take a whirlwind tour of 20th-century helicopter history with the Museum's curator of vertical flight, before diving into the story of the Whirly-Girls—from their founding and early years to the work the organization continues to do today.Thanks to our guest in this episode:Dr. Roger Connor, Curator of Vertical Flight, National Air and Space MuseumFind the transcript for this episode and more information at s.si.edu/AirSpaceS11E12.Subscribe to our monthly newsletter at s.si.edu/airspacenewsletter.AirSpace is made possible with the generous support of Lockheed Martin.

SPEED . . . SKILL . . . SABOTAGE? In August 1929, twenty pilots took off from Santa Monica in a historic and thrilling air race. The all-female lineup—including big names like Amelia Earhart, Pancho Barnes, and Louise Thaden—hopped from city to city across the U.S. on their way to the finish line in Cleveland. Though it was dismissed by some at the time as the "Powder Puff Derby," the Women's Air Derby of 1929 was a major race between world-class pilots. It was also a national sensation at a time when pilots like Earhart and Barnes were genuine celebrities. And as if the race itself wasn't exciting enough, rumors of sabotage swirl to this day...Today on AirSpace: Matt and Emily are joined by aeronautics curator Caroline Tapp to learn all about the Women's Air Derby of 1929. Listen to find out who won, what happened along the way, and how the derby changed the way people thought about women pilots. Thanks to our guests in this episode: Caroline Tapp, Aeronautics Curator, National Air and Space MuseumFind the transcript for this episode and more information at s.si.edu/AirSpaceS11E10.Subscribe to our monthly newsletter at s.si.edu/airspacenewsletter.AirSpace is made possible with the generous support of Lockheed Martin.

John Dean is Co-Founder and CEO of WindBorne, a company building next-generation weather balloons and an AI-powered forecasting layer to improve global weather prediction. WindBorne's balloons can stay aloft for weeks — collecting critical atmospheric data across oceans and remote regions where traditional weather infrastructure doesn't reach. In this episode of Inevitable, Dean explains why weather forecasting has remained largely unchanged for decades and why better data—not just better models—is the key to improving weather predictions. Our conversation explores how WindBorne's balloon constellation captures atmospheric data at a global scale, how AI models like WeatherMesh translate that data into more accurate forecasts, and why extreme weather and infrastructure gaps are creating urgency for better systems. Dean also shares how the company makes money across data, forecasting, and insights—and his long-term vision of building “a planetary-scale nervous system.” In this episode, we cover:  (0:00) An overview of WindBorne (2:57) How weather forecasting actually works (4:36) Why traditional weather balloons haven't changed in decades (12:50) What WindBorne is: long-duration balloons, global data collection and a weather intelligence platform (14:14) What makes WindBorne different: better sensors, batteries, and communications (17:35) Atlas: WindBorne's global balloon constellation (18:17) How better weather data improves hurricane predictions (20:35) Airspace safety and the realities of flying balloons at scale (24:35) WindBorne's business model: data, forecasts, and insights (29:30) Why weather data matters for energy markets and grid reliability (32:09) The long-term vision: Building a “planetary-scale nervous system” (35:41) Why AI + physical infrastructure is a “net good” for society Enjoyed this episode?

In the Cold War, space was a new and critical frontier for intelligence. Many early satellites were spy satellites (although they did a bit of science, too). In this episode, we learn about two early U.S. spy satellite programs, GRAB and CORONA. We learn what motivated these programs, why they were so important to future satellite development, and how to recover film capsules mid-air using a gigantic hook on the bottom of a plane. Thanks to our guests in this episode: Keith Masback, intelligence expert Andrew Ross, Guggenheim Fellow, National Air and Space Museum Find the transcript for this episode and more information at s.si.edu/airspaces11e9.Subscribe to our monthly newsletter at s.si.edu/airspacenewsletter.AirSpace is made possible with the generous support of Lockheed Martin.

Today's Headlines: The Iran conflict is sending mixed signals from the top — Trump says it's ending soon, Hegseth says it's just beginning — but the consequences are already concrete: $5.6 billion spent in the first two days, gas prices spiking, and the Strait of Hormuz effectively paralyzed, choking off 20% of the world's oil supply. Israeli airstrikes left Tehran's air toxic and unbreathable, Iran shot a second missile into NATO airspace over Turkey in less than a week, and U.S. authorities intercepted encrypted communications believed to be an activation trigger for Iranian sleeper cells on American soil. Putin congratulated Iran's new supreme leader and promised unwavering support, then called Trump to offer his own proposals for ending the war — which is either diplomatic or suspicious, depending on your level of trust in Vladimir Putin. At home, AP News released damning investigative reporting on Camp East Montana, ICE's largest detention facility, where the agency's own data shows 80% of detainees have no criminal record. The facility is closed to visitors amid a measles outbreak, detainees report being denied medication and clean water, and staff were allegedly overheard making bets on suicide deaths. The DOJ reached a settlement with LiveNation and Ticketmaster — $200 million in damages plus forced platform access for rivals and a mandate to sell 10 amphitheaters — marking the most significant crack in the company's decade-long grip on live events. And California Rep. Kevin Kiley formally left the Republican Party to become an independent, effective immediately.
