## Resource

Join the team for a look at the latest aviation news from around the world and across the UK. In this week's show: Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary warns that the airline may cut one in 10 summer flights unless the war in Iran ends soon; British Airways will allow passengers to take voice and video calls on board (the horror of the thought of that!) and the East Anglian Air Ambulance has been granted planning permission for the relocation of its air base in Cambridgeshire following the planned closure of Cambridge Airport by 2030 at the latest. Armando has another awesome round-up of the military activity in and around Iran and we have a great RAAOTW - this week we head back to 1958 and to a Royal Dutch airline that didn't just focus on passenger comfort but also on breakfast cereal. We'll also have our regular update on our 600th show which will be on Friday 22nd May. Remember that we're going live at 7pm UK time (1800UTC) and that daylight savings has gone into effect in the UK.
