2018 - The Year that Was

2018 - The Year that Was

Author: Momentum Media December 27, 2018 Duration: 1:31:15
Welcome to the final Australian Aviation podcast for 2018. On today's show, we take a look back at the year that was with 3 guests.
Hearing 3 different perspectives from 3 very different segments of the aviation industry is really interesting and it's great to hear about the positive outlook for 2019 that all of our guests have.
We spoke with:
Rob Hibberd from Airborne Australia. Rob gives us a great perspective from the microlight, ultralight and gyro side of aviation. He also shares a little of how manufacturing and exports are tracking for Airborne Australia.
Next up is Nicholas Christie from Sport Aircraft Sales. Nicholas has his finger well on the pulse of what people are buying and selling and also gives a really great insight into the status of the industry only this time from a buying and selling perspective.
Finally, we have Michael Linke who is the CEO of RAAus. As the RAAus membership base grows Michael shares a look back at 2018 and what to expect for 2019.
It's been a huge year for all aviation sectors. What was your favourite and most memorable moment?
Let's kick it off with Rob Hibberd from Airborne Australia.
 

You'll find the Australian Aviation Podcast Network right at the intersection of runway tarmac and boardroom strategy. Produced by Momentum Media, this collection of shows digs into the stories that define flight in this part of the world, moving well beyond the headlines. Each episode feels like a hangar chat with the people who know the industry best-pilots, engineers, executives, and analysts-offering a grounded perspective on everything from the engineering marvels of new aircraft to the complex logistics of running an airline. We explore the sheer joy and freedom of recreational flying just as deeply as the tough commercial decisions that keep the sector aloft. Whether it's a discussion on sustainable fuel technologies, the revival of regional routes, or the history behind a beloved aircraft type, the conversation is always driven by genuine curiosity. Tune in for clear, informed talk that connects the dots between the business of aviation and the passion that fuels it, all delivered with a distinct Aussie lens. This podcast network is for anyone who feels that lift of anticipation when an aircraft throttles down the runway, or who simply wants to understand the forces that shape how we connect across this vast continent and beyond.
