The United Kingdom comprises of the England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland. That is why it is called United Kingdom. Because they are many kingdoms/countries united together. So if someone says UK it can be any of the 5 countries listed above. One common mistake I see is that when people hear the word UK they will think that it is England.
The only thing I'd add is that, if they're stopping in Greenland for fuel, they would normally be required to make arrangements in advance for providing the fuel. It isn't like your typical petrol station.
I remember reading about people who flew Cessna's (and similar size planes) across the Atlantic for delivery by flying low and having additional fuel tanks. Occasionally people don't make it.
@@ld_travels actually still if there is E120 from Brazil to Japan, it will make several stops in USA, alaska & Russian cities. Bcs they can't direct fly over ocean.
I would hope it was a mistake. Your diagram shows a stop off in Shannon in IRELAND. Ireland is NOT part of the UK and is very proud and sensitive about the subject!!!
Costa Rica is known for it's COOPESA facility, which provides maintenance and supplies for short-medium haul aircraft, I was lucky and able to see airliners like E-190 from Air Link, a south african based airline, even we had a Qantas 767 being converted to freighter, the most interesting visitor we had was a 737-400 for Xiamen Airlines which came in from China only to do maintenance and also to perform A-checks.

I was quite fond of the reality show "Dangerous Flights" (I think it aired on Smithsonian Channel or one of the Discovery-network channels...) Shame it only lasted 2 seasons. I found it fascinating, detailing how ferry flights worked for light and/or short-haul aircraft.
they may also b delivery flights of 'used' shorthaul plane from an existing airline/owner to a new owner or to a plane graveyard. sometimes such flights are long and more demanding to an aged aircraft. so, more planning & preps may b required.
Essentially, the delivery flights have no seats installed and temporary flexible "bladder" fuel tanks installed to increase their range. Such installations allow the plane to fly as much as 1,800 nautical miles, enough for a two-hop flight across the Atlantic.
They serve smaller remote communities. They deliver other things on the way as well, not just typical FedEx cargo. They deliver mail, food and anything a small city might need in rather fast schedule. Most of these towns have only a very short runway so ATR is one of the very few planes managing takeoffs and landings.
Just as the cars produced in one country are not being driven to the other end of the world, I guess that it would also make sense for aircraft manufacturers to ship them with cargo vessels.
@@badhrihari1705 So you mean a passenger aircraft optimized for range rather than capacity? Some have been built, for example the Airbus A340-500, but they've not really been popular with airlines, they don't make much money. They are basically just carrying fuel rather than anything that pays to fly.
@@quillmaurer6563 That's true, maybe one day a solar powered aircraft might take to the skies and will have a capacity of a small private jet or something
I wonder, they use special pilots like pilots with special certifications or they just use any pilot they have in the roster? It would be interesting to fly a pretty much new airplane in the middle of the ocean and hoping a mechanic didn't forgot to properly torque a screw.
My borther once flew from Sondre Stromfjord to Copenhangen in a DC-7 ( or was it DC-6) He said it was a loooong flight! The normally planned DC-8 couldn't fly or something.
So, short version: it's well known what the longest leg is for a TRANSLANT ferry, and no one makes a plane for this market that *can't* make that hop with reserves.
I am more curious how they ferry small general aviation planes like Cessna 150 or similar. Even with a small fuel bladder, it won't have to range to make it across some of these bodies of water.
I would've thought you could fit a couple on a C 130 and truck them to their destination. Its so weird seeing turboprop. They've gone the way of the dodo in the lower 48. I don't miss them. They're loud, bumpy and annoying!
So, to get to Australia, a short range commercial aircraft would have to circumnavigate around the Aleutian Islands to Japan, then to southeast Asia then. The south western Pacific Islands then backtrack to connecting south central islands. That would in fact be the longest short haul of the century. Lol.that
it is not, it's MD but renamed after they've been acquired by Boeing, in fact, it was made at the same plant as any other DC-9/MD-80/MD-90 at Long Beach. I've think you might've confused with the ARJ-21 which is a sorta Chinese clone-ish
Planes do not fly straight line over the ocean because on a steer curved lines are shorter. What is planes flew directly across in a straight line on a map the Atlantic pacific ocean. Which ones could make it which ones could not. Can you do a video on this?
Planes seem to fly on a curve because the earth is a sphere. When looked at a 2d map of the earth it will look curved but once you make that 2d map into a 3d globe you can see its actually a straigth line.

Remember when I boarded a turboprop in and Tahiti wondered, how the heck it had gotten there
I always thought it is delivered by boat
Imagine E120 from Brazil to Tokyo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
more interested in the dash 8 from Canada to Australia! lol
Oof
You know that you can actually fly west as well, not only east, Tokio isn’t that far from Brazil
@@ld_travels actually still if there is E120 from Brazil to Japan, it will make several stops in USA, alaska & Russian cities. Bcs they can't direct fly over ocean.
Japan can be reached through several stops from Brazil. Hawaii would a much harder jorney given their isolation in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
It's quite interesting.. Great video and a Happy New Year!
You already made a video about this for small turboprops
I remember watching one about Hawaiian Airlines and its small B-717s
Thank you for keeping your videos short and to the point! Very informative and yet not intimidating 18 minutes long.

I live in Hawaii and I've always wondered how they got the 717's out here. Thank you for answering my question! Keep up the wonderful work.
Next question: Why does this channel have so less views and comments.
This guy and his team deserves million subscribers..
Really, they are underatted 🥺
Then spread the word, tell your friends, share it on social media and so on....
Imagine a plane on a long haul delivery and it suffers from a birdstrike
Give me a brand new plane, I won't take that 😹
Turboprops aren’t affected by bird strikes that much compared to jet planes so it tends to be ok.
Proud to see the jambojet livery here. That's our domestic airline here in Kenya
Yes. And on top of that its nicw that they have new planes. but they dont use the 737 anymore
@@emmanuellehmann9836 because the 737 has a lot of major accidents and fatalities..
@@nathanjohntv7902 but they are over 10k so its obvious that some will crash
Really happy to see my Nation’s Airline in the vid pic!!!!
yes i knew , there is also the case of embraer delivering planes to europe by flying over atlantic ocean on unusual routes with lot of stops
Good topic. from Melbourne VIC Australia.

I think you made this video already
Yes, I actually did know about all these
Yes I knew as I watched some videos about the small plane jokeys.

What does fedex do with their Atrs?
Delivering some cargo
They serve smaller remote communities. They deliver other things on the way as well, not just typical FedEx cargo. They deliver mail, food and anything a small city might need in rather fast schedule. Most of these towns have only a very short runway so ATR is one of the very few planes managing takeoffs and landings.

Is this a re upload
They already talked about this but they Made it again and I believe more precise
Wasn‘t the Canada-Greenland-Iceland-uk route the standard for transatlantic flights in the first half of the 20th century?
No mention of them going on boats? That happens too
Nice thumbnail photo
Longest short haul delivery would probably go to Air New Zealand, they have a huge fleet of these aircraft, cheers CB Australia 🇦🇺
Imagine a aircraft that can go around the world with extra fuel and few passengers!
Has been done - specially designed one- or two-person aircraft that can fly around the world nonstop. Rutan Voyager and ScaledComposites GlobalFlyer.
I was thinking more passengers

Is it possible to build a glider with passangers for fuel cuts
I wonder, they use special pilots like pilots with special certifications or they just use any pilot they have in the roster? It would be interesting to fly a pretty much new airplane in the middle of the ocean and hoping a mechanic didn't forgot to properly torque a screw.
Well I had an idea that ferry flights did multiple hops in order to deliver planes to their new customers
I've delivered many single and multi engine aircrafts to Central and South America from all over the USA. Mainly leave out of Florida or Texas.
Pilatus have a full time delivery pilot who flies one pc 12 across the Atlantic per week on average.
My borther once flew from Sondre Stromfjord to Copenhangen in a DC-7 ( or was it DC-6) He said it was a loooong flight! The normally planned DC-8 couldn't fly or something.
Oh i thought the planes were disassembled, delivered by a ship, then reassembled on its destination.
So, short version: it's well known what the longest leg is for a TRANSLANT ferry, and no one makes a plane for this market that *can't* make that hop with reserves.
Why 'Toulouse France', and not 'Toronto Canada ' ?
Supplemental fuel tanks for delivery flights are called "ferry tanks."
Here was I thinking they were posted in the mail.
TL;DW they just stop a lot and it takes a while
I am more curious how they ferry small general aviation planes like Cessna 150 or similar. Even with a small fuel bladder, it won't have to range to make it across some of these bodies of water.
They tend to put temporary additional fuel tanks on the back seats.
@@perkelix that's enough to get to, say, Hawaii?

1:20 Shannon in the UK,
Me as an Irish Republican: engage rage: unsubscribe.
I would rather put it on a boat
I saw a q400 in the philippines, and now I wonder how the hell it flew from Canada, all the way there to the Philippines.
Stops frequently for gas? Bruh I do that in my car on long trips too!
