Boardroom decisions land on your flight deck. We translate them first. The aviation industry talks endlessly about pay, type ratings, and seniority. We talk about what actually matters: can you earn a decent living, fly a well-maintained aircraft, and still be home enough to watch your kids grow up? Bryan Air delivers straight-talking analysis on the business of aviation, career intelligence, and the technology reshaping how pilots are trained, assessed, and employed. We break down executive moves, economic forces, and the digital tools quietly rewriting the rules. We go where most aviation media will not. The next generation of aviators needs more than a type rating. They need career strategy, business literacy, and the ability to adapt in an industry where the technology is evolving faster than the regulations that govern it. Bryan Air is a career intelligence ecosystem for pilots. The podcast, the newsletter, the AI-powered tools — everything we build exists to give pilots the intelligence the industry is not giving them. Hosted by Bryan Roseveare and Ryan Parrock.

Career intelligence for pilots. We break down executive moves, economic forces, and the technology reshaping how pilots are trained, assessed, and employed. Boardroom decisions land on your flight deck — we translate them first. No corporate spin. Just the intelligence pilots actually need. Sustainable aviation fuel accounts for 0.8% of global jet fuel consumption. That is not a typo. Dr Marie Owens Thomsen, IATA's Senior Vice President for Sustainability and Chief Economist, sits down with Bryan in Singapore to explain why the SAF market barely exists, why European mandates have driven prices up without cutting a single ton of CO2, and why investors are pouring billions into AI data centres while aviation fuel gets 1.2% of global energy investment. In an industry running on 3.9% profit margins, the question is not whether airlines want to decarbonize. It is whether anyone has built a system that lets them do it without going broke. Thomsen lays out what needs to change and why aviation cannot solve this alone. In this episode of The Bryan Air Podcast, Bryan Roseveare speaks with Dr Marie Owens Thomsen, IATA's Senior Vice President for Sustainability and Chief Economist, live at IATA WDS 2026 in Singapore about sustainable aviation fuel supply, European SAF mandates, investment risk, AI energy competition, airline profit margins, and career advice for young pilots. ✈ TIME-STAMPED FLIGHT PLAN 00:00 Introducing Dr Marie Owens Thomsen at IATA WDS 2026 00:39 Why collaboration across the industry is no longer optional 02:08 What IATA's sustainability and economics division actually does 04:24 SAF supply reality: 0.8% of global jet fuel and barely a market 06:00 European mandates raised prices and cut zero emissions 08:31…","meta_description":"🎙 EPISODE SNAPSHOT Welcome to The Bryan Air Podcast.
