Show Notes

It's the bombshell the aviation industry never saw coming, one that has shaken the sector to its core: after five and a half years at Australian Aviation, renowned luminary and thought leader Adam Thorn is leaving Momentum Media.

Over the course of his tenure, Adam has seen COVID-19 shutdowns, travel chaos, and the collapse of multiple Australian airlines – and while he'll still be leading the print magazine, in many ways it's the end of an era, a seismic shift rivalling even the exit of Alan Joyce from Qantas in 2023.

Co-hosts Jake Nelson and Benjamin Foster join Adam to reflect on half a decade at the helm of Australian Aviation and what comes next.

Plus, the Ansett brand has been resurrected – but is an "AI-powered" travel booking site really the best use for it?
