On this week’s episode of AvTalk, we try our hand a quick summer break, but can’t fully get away from the news. For that, Airline Weekly editor and AvTalk’s chief short answer correspondent drops by for a brief comment on American Airlines’ order for Boom’s supersonic jet.

And we revisit our conversation with Andy Taylor, Chief Solutions Officer, Digital Towers from NATS, the UK’s air navigation service provider. Andy explains how digital towers are reducing controller workload and helping improve safety in the air and on the ground. We also discuss how the concept has evolved in just the past few years.

We’ll be back next week with an all new episode, including more to say on American’s Boom order and all the week’s biggest aviation news.

Please check back soon for a transcript of this episode.
