This week, the aviation industry in the UK took to airports across Britain to push the UK government to open its borders, and, just days later, the government announced a new plan to allow the free movement of vaccinated Britons.
In this episode of the World of Aviation Podcast, host Adam Thorn and reporter Hannah Dowling discuss changing global policies on travelling for vaccinated people, as well as airline workers begging for stronger deterrents against in-flight abuse.
Plus, the team discusses the latest update in Boeing’s 737 MAX fiasco, including the first flight of its 737 MAX 10, as well as a newly introduced compensation fund for the families of MAX crash victims.
Finally, the crew talks about the latest news on NASA’s Ingenuity Mars helicopter and its unfortunate, but inevitable, fate.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
