It's a sad day for those who love big planes – after 20 years in the sky, Qantas will begin retiring its mighty A380s from 2028, with smaller and more fuel-efficient twinjets like the 787 and A350 set to replace them. Beloved by passengers, but with fuel and maintenance bills to match its massive size, the A380 may no longer make sense for Qantas' business model, but it'll always hold a special place in the hearts and minds of avgeeks – and for bigger hub airlines like Emirates, where it's arguably a better fit. On this week's Australian Aviation Podcast, Jake and David bid a fond early farewell to the Qantas A380 fleet as the superjumbos get ready to fly off into the sunset. Plus, results season is upon us – which airlines came out ahead in the 2026 financial year, and which ones took a beating from the ongoing geopolitical and economic storm?

SHARESIES · MARKET MOVEMENTS · Jacki Neumann, Head of Capital Markets at Sharesies Note: Filmed Monday 31 August ↑ WHAT'S UP — US indices edged higher, with the S&P 500 up 0.5% and the Nasdaq up 0.9%, while the ASX 200 added 0.4%, propelled by results including Qantas’ 4.8% jump on a $2.06 billion underlying profit, Coles rising 5%, and NEXTDC beating guidance with revenue up 16% on surging AI infrastructure demand. ↓ WHAT'S DOWN — The NZX 50 fell 1.5% in its worst week since May, snapping three weeks of gains. DroneShield sank 11% despite a 74% revenue jump as it swung to a $32.2 million loss, Air New Zealand posted a $336 million full-year pre-tax loss, and Xero drew a 70.6% protest vote against its remuneration report. ! BIGGEST SURPRISES — Australia's July CPI ran hotter than expected at 3.5%, with trimmed mean inflation at 3.6%, lifting the odds of an RBA hike by year-end to 78% from 67%. At Jackson Hole, Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s tone was hawkish, pushing September US rate-rise odds from around 36% to nearly 60%. ◎ WHAT TO WATCH — The RBNZ meets Wednesday, with markets expecting a 25 basis point hike from 2.5%, and Australia's Q2 GDP lands the same day. In the US, the August employment report on Friday will be a key read ahead of the Fed's next decision on September 16. ◈ BIGGER PICTURE — Inflation is proving stickier than hoped, with a hot Australian CPI and a hawkish Warsh pushing rate-hike expectations sharply higher on both sides of the Pacific. The AI build-out still looks robust — Nvidia flagged hyperscaler capex near US$800 billion this year — but its warning on shrinking margins is a reminder that even the AI winners face cost pressure.

From the founding of Jetstar to his 15 years at the helm of our largest airline group, Alan Joyce is undoubtedly one of the most consequential figures in the last quarter-century of Australia's aviation history. He became one of Australia's most well-known CEOs, famed for his advocacy on social causes and his work to transform Qantas – but at the same time, attracted plenty of criticism on industrial relations, as well as contentious decisions made during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, three years after handing over the reins to Vanessa Hudson, Joyce has released his memoir, Riding the Jet Stream, where he gives his unvarnished view on what he did right – and wrong – over his long aviation career. On this special episode of the Australian Aviation Podcast, Joyce speaks exclusively to Jake Nelson in a no-holds-barred interview on the big decisions, the accomplishments, and the controversies of his time as CEO of Qantas Group, and what he feels his legacy will be.

SHARESIES · MARKET MOVEMENTS · 24 AUGUST 2026Jacki Neumann, Head of Capital Markets at Sharesies Note: Filmed Monday 24 August ↑ WHAT’S UP — The materials sector outperformed the broader ASX, rising 5.6%: BHP's underlying profit jumped 30%, with copper overtaking iron ore as its biggest earnings contributor for the first time, while Evolution Mining rallied over 16%. Healthcare climbed more than 9% driven by CSL and Cochlear, and the NZX 50 bucked the global trend to add 0.9%. ↓ WHAT'S DOWN US stocks fell under the weight of bond yields, with the S&P 500 down 1.4% and the Nasdaq 2%. The ASX 200 slipped 0.6%, with local losses led by banks. NAB dropped 7.7% and the sector fell 5.5% after home loan applications slid 15%, while JB Hi-Fi lost over 10%. ! BIGGEST SURPRISES Bond yields were the big story. The 30-year US Treasury yield pushed above 5.3% for the first time since 2007 and the 10-year near 4.7% as national debt topped US$40 trillion for the first time. The Treasury's expanded buybacks to ease the pressure didn’t hold, with yields retracing most of their decline by week's end. ◎ WHAT TO WATCH New Fed Chair Kevin Warsh gives his first keynote on Thursday, while Nvidia's results land Wednesday and Australian reporting rolls on with Coles, Woolworths, Wesfarmers and Qantas. On the data front, RBA minutes are due Tuesday and Australian July CPI Wednesday, alongside key US inflation and GDP prints mid-week. ◈ BIGGER PICTURE Attention is turning to climbing long-dated US yields, with fiscal concerns and sticky inflation pressuring equities even as the Treasury tries to intervene. Down under, reporting season shows a divergence on the ASX: a cooling housing market weighing on banks, while the miners and biotech CSL rise. With rising unemployment but consumers gaining confidence on the RBA's hold, Australia sends mixed signals heading into a pivotal week.

They discuss working in extreme Phoenix heat, aircraft cooling issues, and pilots refusing planes with broken APUs. A planned Rio trip using five Marriott nights was canceled due to heavily oversold flights, so they instead flew with lie-flat seats to Sydney and continued to Melbourne for cooler weather, tours to Phillip Island's penguin parade and the Great Ocean Road/12 Apostles, and stays at the Park Hyatt and Ritz-Carlton, including a suite after a room assignment error.

We speak with a oneworld Alliance VP about airline alliances in general, and oneworld in particular. In the news: a mid-air near miss at Atlanta, NTSB and families call on Congress to act on the DCA accident recommendations, a civilian plane crash and military GPS jamming, adaptive-cycle jet engines and sixth-generation combat aircraft, and the unleaded avgas transition plan. Guest Roger Blackburn, Vice President – Commercial and Loyalty, oneworld Alliance. Roger Blackburn serves as the Vice President – Commercial and Loyalty for the oneworld Alliance. He leads the commercial team and oversees corporate revenue, events, and alliance fare products, as well as the development of oneworld's loyalty proposition. A member of oneworld's leadership team for the past six years, Roger has led several key alliance initiatives, including the creation of oneworld's first two branded lounges. In our conversation with Roger, we learn about the value that airline alliances provide to the member airlines, and what value accrues to the flying public. We look at criteria for membership in an alliance, network fit, commercial value, and alliance governance, as well as loyalty programs and lounges. For reference, here are the three major global airline alliances: Star Alliance, founded in 1997 by Air Canada, Lufthansa, SAS, Thai Airways, and United. oneworld, founded in 1999 by American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, and Qantas. SkyTeam, founded in 2000 by Delta, Air France, Aeroméxico, and Korean Air. Aviation News Two Delta Air Lines Jets in Mid-Air Near Miss at Atlanta Hartsfield as Air Traffic Control Direct Departing Aircraft into Path of Other Plane This was a mid-air near-miss at ATL with two Delta Air Lines flights: Flight DL-1568 from Pittsburgh to Atlanta operated by a Boeing 737-900, and Flight DL-2472 from Atlanta to Rochester, New York, an Airbus A321. The airport was experiencing weather delays, and controllers were working at full capacity to clear the backlog. Departures and arrivals were taking place on parallel runways. DL-1568 had been scheduled to land three hours earlier and was diverted to Chattanooga to wait out a storm. The arriving flight 1568 elected to make a go-around after seeing a Frontier flight taking a long time to clear the runway. At the same time, departing flight 2472 was directed to turn and climb to the same altitude as the other Delta flight. A TCAS Resolution Advisory alarm sounded, and the aircraft came within 1,800 feet of each other. NTSB Chair, Victim's Families Call Upon Congress toTake Action on 50 Safety Recommendations After DC midair It's been a year and a half since American Airlines Flight 5342 and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter collided near DCA, killing 67 people. Six months ago, the NTSB issued safety recommendations. NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy and families of the victims want Congress to take action on the 50 open recommendations. So far, Congress has failed to pass either the Rotorcraft Operations Transparency and Oversight Reform (ROTOR) Act or the Airspace Location and Enhanced Risk Transparency (ALERT) Act. Statement from NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy on the open recommendations for the investigation of the January 2025 midair collision near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport In part: “Six months ago, we concluded our investigation and adopted our final report, issuing 75 findings and 50 safety recommendations, all of which must be implemented to prevent reoccurrence, yet we are no closer today to addressing many of the serious safety gaps that contributed to this terrible tragedy. “Every day that passes without implementation of all 50 NTSB recommendations represents a continued and unacceptable risk to public safety. “The National Transportation Safety Board provided a clear roadmap to improve aviation safety and reduce the risk of another catastrophic midair collision. Now it’s time for action that was promised months ago; we owe it to the victims, to the families who continue to grieve their loss, and to the millions of people who rely on the safety of our aviation system every day.” A Civilian Plane Crashed in New Mexico. Was Military GPS Jamming To Blame? On May 14, 2026, a Trans Aero MedEvac Beechcraft King Air 90 crashed in the New Mexico Capitan Mountains, killing four people. The NTSB’s preliminary report [PDF] stated that routine military GPS jamming exercises from White Sands Missile Range were active at the flight’s altitude and location. ADS-B was also degraded. The crew's ForeFlight pre-flight package briefed the pilots on the jamming threat. Air Force eyes next-gen engine ‘integration' by 2030 Although no decision has been made, the Next Generation Adaptive Propulsion (NGAP) system could go into the F-47 Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) platform. Both Pratt & Whitney and GE Aerospace are developing NGAP prototypes which the Air Force intends to compete for future production. NGAP is designed to be platform agnostic and is a multi-billion-dollar program using adaptive-cycle jet engines for sixth-generation combat aircraft that change jet engine characteristics in flight, allowing more fuel-efficient cruising or increased thrust. GE Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney (RTX) are the two competitors, building prototypes designated GE’s XA102 and P&W’s XA103. As of late July 2026, the program completed a pre-prototyping readiness review, with both contractors having met the Air Force’s design requirements, clearing the way to begin building and testing hardware. ‘Final' Unleaded Avgas Transition Plan Released The so-called “Version 1.0” of the 72-page FAA transition plan was released, updating a draft plan released earlier this year. The FAA says it's keeping the 2030 target date for replacing 100LL with unleaded fuel. Unleaded fuel takes center stage at AirVenture The FAA took some of the comments received to heart, including communication and transparency. AOPA reports, “the FAA plans to release new versions of the transition plan after each phase. The agency also plans to publish two additional documents soon: an FAQ on unleaded fuel and a summary of the input received during the public comment period in early 2026.” Four transition phases make up the plan: Authorizing fuels and doing comparison testing. Focus on unleaded fuels gaining market experience for the benefit of fuel producers, aircraft owners, fuel retailers, and others. Wide-scale transition, first in the Lower 48 by 2030. Followed by Alaska two years later.

There are nearly 40 of these cases pending across the countryIn the meantime, the industry has been mobilizing a counterattack against the lawsuits with the help of the Trump administration and Republican politicians.Republicans are trying to pass laws to grant oil majors immunity to these kinds of lawsuits, with success in several states so far.Utah, Iowa, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Louisiana have recently signed laws shielding fossil fuel companies from lawsuits related to greenhouse gas emissionsOil executives have also gotten help from the federal government, following an executive order from President Donald Trump last year directing the attorney general to prioritize blocking climate lawsuits by states.This May, the Justice Department responded to Minnesota's climate lawsuit against Big Oil with a lawsuit of its own, just as the state's case was moving into the discovery phase. It said Minnesota was undermining “American energy dominance” and attempting to regulate greenhouse gases, which should fall under the purview of federal law—echoing the oil industry's well-known argument.Elon Musk Is Quietly Turning to This Fossil Fuel to Power His AI AmbitionsSam Altman Announces That the Singularity Has Arrived: a hypothetical future point in time when technological growth becomes autonomous, uncontrollable, and irreversible, fundamentally transforming human civilization“We are now, like, in the singularity ...

Former CEO Alan Joyce was the man at the helm during those three years, overseeing brutal layoffs, emergency repatriations and a response that saved the company from impending bankruptcy. But that also came with severe public backlash that defined his final years at the helm. In this episode of The Briefing, Sacha Barbour Gatt sits down with Joyce to discuss his new memoir Riding the Jet Stream and his own reflections on what it took to save the Flying Kangaroo, and whether he regrets any of it.

Episode 182 of the Award Travel 101 podcast opens with a spotlight on member Alison's incredible points-funded safari to Kenya, a reminder that award travel can unlock experiences far beyond flights and hotel chains. By leveraging a Virgin Red redemption, an Amex transfer bonus, and Alaska miles for long-haul flights, she and her travel partner enjoyed five nights at an all-inclusive safari lodge with twice-daily game drives for the equivalent of just over 80,000 points per night. The hosts also covered several noteworthy developments in the points world, including the opening of the new Chase Sapphire Lounge at Dallas/Fort Worth, the new Air Canada and Hyatt partnership, a lucrative Capital One Spark Cash Plus offer, and Rove adding Qantas as a transfer partner with a limited-time bonus.The hosts also shared personal travel updates and a useful booking lesson. Cameron discussed having a Qatar Airways flight to Thailand unexpectedly canceled without notice, ultimately reworking the itinerary through Chicago and securing a backup Starlux business class award. He also discovered that a Hyatt Place booking in Louisville appeared nonrefundable online but actually carried a 60-day cancellation policy after messaging Hyatt—a good reminder to verify cancellation terms instead of relying solely on what a website displays.The main discussion focused on the non-award tools that make the hobby easier. Angie and Cameron highlighted their favorite award search platforms, including Seats.aero, AwardWallet, MaxMyPoint, FlightConnections, and Google Flights, before expanding into budgeting software, credit card benefit tracking, and trip planning. AwardWallet and CardPointers were praised for keeping track of points, free night certificates, credits, and card offers, while Google Sheets, Google Maps, Facebook travel groups, TripIt, and ChatGPT have become essential planning tools for organizing itineraries, researching destinations, and building customized travel plans. The episode emphasized that while earning points is important, having the right collection of tools can save time, prevent costly mistakes, and make planning award travel far less stressful.Episode Links:Chase Lounge DFWCapital One Spark CashHyatt/ Air Canada partnershipRove adds QantasWhere to Find UsThe Award Travel 101 Facebook Community.To book time with our team, check out Award Travel 1-on-1.You can also email us at 101@award.travelBuy your Award Travel 101 Merch hereReserve tickets to our Late Summer 2026 Meetup in Milwaukee now. award.travel/mke2026Our partner CardPointers helps us get the most from our cards.

Qantas has frequently found itself in the news for all the wrong reasons over the past few years – but it got a much-needed win when the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) found last year's data breach wasn't caused by the Flying Kangaroo's own negligence. With high marks for its swift response to the fiasco, and no need determined for any further investigation, Qantas can take the OAIC's findings as a sign that the fallout of the cyberattack is mostly behind it – but can it recover from the PR hit it suffered? On this week's Australian Aviation Podcast, Jake and David unpack the official verdict on the Qantas data breach, and ask if the national carrier really deserves all the flak it gets. Plus, half a year on from the Air T-Rex deal, when will we actually see more Saabs back in the air?

Pourquoi les compagnies aériennes remettent l'Airbus A380 en service

Alors que le Salon aéronautique de Farnborough réunit les grands acteurs mondiaux de l'aviation, un avion que beaucoup pensaient condamné fait son retour sur le devant de la scène. L'Airbus A380, dont la production a été arrêtée en 2021, retrouve aujourd'hui une seconde vie. Une renaissance qui s'explique avant tout par des raisons économiques. Le Salon aéronautique de Farnborough a ouvert ses portes. Jusqu'à vendredi, constructeurs, compagnies aériennes, motoristes, équipementiers et investisseurs vont scruter les tendances d'un secteur qui n'a jamais autant transporté de passagers. Les commandes d'avions devraient une nouvelle fois se compter en dizaines de milliards de dollars. L'occasion de s'intéresser à un appareil que tout le monde disait condamné, mais qui connaît aujourd'hui une étonnante seconde vie : l'Airbus A380. Capable de transporter plus de 500 passagers, ce géant des airs à deux étages a été lancé au début des années 2000 avec de grandes ambitions internationales. Pourtant, l'A380 n'a jamais rencontré le succès commercial espéré. Trop gourmand en kérosène avec ses quatre réacteurs, trop difficile à remplir pour être rentable au quotidien, parfois même impossible à accueillir dans certains aéroports en raison de sa taille, son déploiement a rapidement eu du plomb dans l'aile. La crise sanitaire a ensuite semblé lui porter le coup de grâce. Pendant des mois, les avions sont restés cloués au sol et la reprise du trafic a été lente. Plusieurs compagnies ont progressivement retiré leurs A380 de leur flotte, tandis qu'Airbus décidait d'arrêter définitivement sa production en 2021. À lire aussiComment les compagnies aériennes se réinventent pour nous faire prendre encore plus l'avion Pourquoi les compagnies aériennes ressortent leurs Airbus A380 Mais contre toute attente, les compagnies aériennes remettent aujourd'hui leurs Airbus A380 en service. La raison est simple : le trafic aérien mondial a retrouvé, puis dépassé, son niveau d'avant la pandémie. La demande de voyages internationaux est telle que les compagnies se retrouvent confrontées à un manque d'avions. Dans le même temps, Airbus et Boeing ne parviennent plus à livrer les appareils au rythme attendu. Les conséquences de la pandémie, les difficultés de la chaîne d'approvisionnement et les retards du futur gros-porteur de Boeing, le 777X, ont considérablement allongé les délais de livraison. Pour pallier cette pénurie, plusieurs compagnies ont choisi de remettre en service leurs A380. C'est notamment le cas de Lufthansa, mais aussi de Qantas ou encore de British Airways. À lire aussiLes difficultés d'Airbus inquiètent l'industrie aéronautique Pourquoi l'Airbus A380 est redevenu rentable Comment expliquer qu'un avion considéré comme trop cher soit redevenu rentable ? La réponse est avant tout économique. Pour une compagnie aérienne, remettre en service un A380 et rénover sa cabine représente quelques millions d'euros. Une somme importante, mais bien inférieure au coût d'achat d'un gros-porteur neuf. D'autant que ces appareils sont déjà totalement amortis dans les comptes des compagnies. Surtout, ce qui compte n'est pas le coût de l'avion, mais son coût par passager transporté. Un A380 à moitié vide reste un gouffre financier. En revanche, avec un prix du kérosène qui demeure élevé, lorsqu'il décolle avec plus de 500 voyageurs à bord, son coût par siège devient particulièrement compétitif. L'économie du transport aérien repose ici sur une logique de volume. Plus l'avion est rempli, plus les coûts fixes sont répartis entre les passagers. À cela s'ajoute la saturation de nombreux grands hubs internationaux comme Londres-Heathrow, Dubaï ou Singapour. Les créneaux de décollage et d'atterrissage y sont devenus si rares qu'il est souvent plus rentable de transporter davantage de passagers avec un seul avion plutôt que de multiplier les vols. L'histoire de l'Airbus A380 rappelle ainsi qu'en économie, un produit peut être considéré comme un échec à un moment donné avant de redevenir une solution quelques années plus tard. L'A380 n'a pas changé. C'est le marché qui a changé. À sa manière, le géant des airs ressemble aujourd'hui au phénix: un avion que l'on croyait disparu, mais qui renaît de ses cendres.
