About the show

When an explosion rocked a seemingly routine flight between Singapore and Sydney on November 4 2020, the Captain of QF32 Richard De Crespigny leapt into action. Decades of knowledge and experience helped him make critical decisions under pressure to safely land the crippled Airbus A380, saving more than 400 passengers and crew from the unthinkable. Now Richard is sharing his lessons in resilience, leadership, crisis management and more in the podcast series Fly.
