Over the last few months, a spate of high-profile air travel incidents in North America have captured public attention. And it’s raised concerns about whether air travel is as safe as it used to be. On today’s Big Take podcast, Bloomberg’s global aviation editor Benedikt Kammel joins host David Gura to discuss how recent accidents — especially the fatal collision between American Airlines Flight 5342 and a military helicopter and, weeks later, the crash landing of Delta Flight 4819 — have undermined public trust in flying. And they examine what’s going on inside the FAA in the midst of mass government lay-offs.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  • Bloomberg Audio Studios Podcasts Radio news Over.

  • The last few months,

  • high profile air travel accidents and incidents across North America have captured public attention.

  • They've also captured the attention of Bloomberg's global aviation editor, Benedict Kammel.

  • The big one was Reagan Airport in D.C. that was the mid air collision between a helicopter and the regional aircraft.

  • Breaking news out of Washington,

  • D.C. where a commercial airliner has collided with a helicopter in midair while on approach to.

  • Reagan National Airport, stands out for a number of reasons.

  • You know, it was in the Capitol,

  • a couple of miles away from the White House, a very congested airspace.

  • Tragically, a lot of lives lost.

  • More than 60 people died in that.

  • A few weeks after that,

  • a Delta flight that departed from the Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport crashed in Toronto.

  • Again,

  • a regional aircraft that crash landed skidded along the Runway and then practically cartwheeled,

  • losing one wing and landing bizarrely on its roof,

  • its landing gear appearing to collapse, the right wing striking the ground,

  • sparking flames, the plane flipping onto.

  • Its back, a cloud of black smoke.
