Show Notes

As tariffs and border crackdowns continue stateside, the number of Australians taking trips to the US has slumped, with travel to Asia surging instead – a trend noticed by Flight Centre, which is taking a hit to its bottom line.

It's not just passengers that are causing a headache for aviation amid the US uncertainty, however: if the trade war causes a Chinese slowdown, the resulting drop in demand for resources could have a knock-on impact on the FIFO sector, with NJE's Lim Kim Hai already looking to cut spending.

Adam and Jake discuss what the Trump administration's policies abroad could do – and have already done – to aviation in Australia.

Plus, is there a culture problem at general aviation businesses?
