My guest this week is Iain Gray CBE, professor and director of Aerospace at Cranfield University.

The university has recently held a Festival of Flight to celebrate its 70th birthday.

Iain talks about the history of the site, why it is unique and how its research impacts passengers on flights around the world.

We also learn about how Cranfield is looking to the future by researching air traffic management and aerospace integration.

If you've every been delayed or had your flight cancelled due to fog, then you will be interested to find out how virtual air traffic control towers may mean that such problems will be a thing of the past.

Iain also shares what he looks out for when flying. It's probably not the same thing you are looking for.

Also, Abta has released its Holiday Habits Report for this year. I talk about some of the points raised. Do you recognise the booking habits listed?
