In July, ‘CNN Business Traveller’ is at the Paris Air Show, finding out about the very latest in aviation technology and what the future might hold for the industry.
Host Richard Quest takes a look around the show’s shopping area, where everything from engines, wheels, ejector seats, missiles, jets, helicopters and simulators are being showcased and sold.
Also this month, Quest is at London Heathrow Airport, where a Virgin Atlantic engineer takes him on a guided tour of one of the airline’s planes, inside and out, explaining the mechanics and science behind how these huge machines work. Quest also meets Virgin Atlantic’s new CEO, Craig Kreeger, to hear about his strategy and vision for the company going forward, and the airline’s newly launched ‘Little Red’ domestic service.
‘CNN Business Traveller’ also visits the Rolls Royce engine factory in Derby, England, where they monitor all their engines currently flying in real time. And, offering a rather unusual insight in to the future of aviation, CNN’s Ayesha Durgahee looks at what’s next in the development of on-board toilets.

The residents of the Hogewey complex in Weesp, the Netherlands never know exactly where they are, but they always feel right at home. And that’s precisely the idea. The cutting-edge village, located just outside Amsterdam, was built to house elderly patients suffering from severe dementia who don’t want to live out their final years in a nursing home.
The small village has all the amenities – a grocery store, barber shop, library – just like any other village. But here, every worker is a paid professional, on site to care for the residents in their daily lives. Some staffers live in the homes, assisting residents in cooking meals, organising social events, helping them take baths. Other employees include social workers, who make daily rounds to check in on their patients.
‘World’s Untold Stories: Dementia Village’ follows CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta, as he travels to the complex, to tell one of the world’s most compelling untold stories. He speaks with one of the founders at Hogewey, Yvonne van Amerongen, to get the real story of how the project got started. Gupta also spends time with village residents as they go about their day, from sunrise to sunset, engaging with them as they cook meals, socialise, and run errands.
Dementia is a growing concern around the globe. According to a new report by the World Health Organisation, the number of people suffering from dementia is expected to double by 2030 and to triple by 2050. The increase comes as governments everywhere struggle to contain the runaway costs of health care.
