Absolutely love flying in and out of Skiathos, it's a real experience. There is a small Taverna at the town end, it's a must to pop down there on changeover days to wave to the pilots when taking off from that end of the runway. 🙂
Ah yes, it’s a place I go to Everytime I’m in Skiathos. It’s my favourite destination and everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Can’t wait to go back 😄!
Due to the short runway at Skiathos most aircraft will use Full thrust on takeoff, on this particular flight though we were rather heavy so it meant we had to divert to Thessaloniki for refuelling 😁
@@transportguy1k635 It will all be down to three factors I imagine, the first being the age of the aircraft. Newer ones have much higher performance and will more or less be able to fly direct with no issues, the next is payload, the heavier the aircraft the more runway it’ll need so again if it is a newer plane it shouldn’t be much of a problem. And finally the heat, believe it or not heat can effect aircraft’s performance by quite a lot. On this particular day it was very hot so there for our aircraft being rather full, and not being the most modern 737 along side with the heat is why we needed to refuel at Thessaloniki.
@@Jamestheavgeek1 although the touchdown zones as we know are set at the very start of the runway so landing not too bad, its the takeoff length thats v. tight!
@@easydrive3662 Correct, especially being a shorter runway safety is the top priority when landing in skiathos so maximum breaking is required, often harder touchdowns are necessary to help loose speed as well 👍
dayum that CFM56 TOGA Sound😍🔥
Gorgeous sound 🔥
I like how they held on the brakes at the beginning
I agree, makes takeoff a lot more fun! This is quite a rare occurrence however reason they did this was due to the short runway and conditions 😁
Nice video. Great sound 👌 I have subscribed
Thank you! Much appreciated 😁
Jet2 Skiathos! ❤
Congrats on 100 subs btw, glad to see those numbers! Well deserved 😊
Thanks mate!
Beautiful engine sounds 😊😊. Great video
Thank you! 😁

Never seen a departure like that before!!!

@@Jamestheavgeek1 il be doing Skiathos to Manchester with TUI on a 737-800 on 8th July, I wonder if it will be direct or not.

Only around 1750metres of runway at skiathos available! No room for error!
Indeed, it is a very short runway! 😄

Awesome!! 🤩
Thank you!
Epic!
Jet2 need newer planes. How old was this particular aircraft?
This was 14 at the time of recording 🙂
Yeah
Yeah
