On this episode of AvTalk, we scratch our heads trying to figure out the story of a stowaway who managed to make it from Copenhagen to Los Angeles aboard an SAS flight. Stopped by a US customs officer, the man had Russian and Israeli identity documents, but no passport. And he could not tell the officers how he ended up on the airplane from Copenhagen. You can read the full indictment here.
Also this week, Southwest Airlines is fined more than any other airline in history—but the actual money paid will be far lower than the top line figure. And Turkish Airlines finally, finally places its long awaited massive aircraft order, acquiring 220 Airbus aircraft.
