This is surely now at the top of the list of things to watch in 2018.<br> <br> <br> 2017<br> In our survey we asked listeners to tell us what they thought the biggest stories of the year were. By far, the Airbus + Bombardier news was mentioned the most. Also of note were the various airline bankruptcies, and multiple retirements of 747s from fleets around the world.<br> 2018<br> We also look ahead to 2018 and some bold—and not-so-bold—predictions about the year ahead.<br> Thank you!<br> Thank you for listening!
