I had the same flight and i must say its the best what you can get, nice people, dellicius food and not to mantion the resort or islands I had never saw such a beautiful place like the maldives, its realy breath taking. very clean and the waters its just amazing cant tell it in words. So May god proteced the maldives from the tsunami and fading away of the sea level, so we can enjoy this peace of the world with the most homble people i ever met. Once again may Allah take all of you malivians.
I had a smile on my face all the way through that. Living in Northwest England which is riddled with chavs and tacky scenery, seeing places like that (even on TH-cam) gives one hope. :D
yeah the runways is really long, and even if it were short pilots can manage to take off by holding the breaks while applying full power to the engines, once the engines are at full power the pilots will release the breaks and the plane will go faster, then the flaps will be applied slowly. thats a short runway take off.
You're right! But it's an Antonov 124 (I think -100 series) with Antonov Airlines (Formerly Antonov Design Bureau) Well spotted might I add. You were referring to the AN-225, the worlds largest cargo plane (and plane if you will; it's huge!)
yes i flew with them from luton to zakinthos in greece they were ok on board but we were delayed 9hrs out bound and 7hrs in bound but he in bound flight wernt there fault it was the day of the liquid bombs on trans-atlantic flights so all the security in u.k went crazy LOL :)
I believe SriLankan used to fly direct to Malé and return via Colombo, not sure if this is still done. Qatar Airways also change in Doha en route to Malé.
i have a video of my plane landing in barbados filmed in january flying with first choice, we made a hard landing LOL pretty crap touch down :) type "bad landing in barbados"
maldives was gr8! I was supposed 2 only be there for 12 days arrivin back on april 19, but because of the volcanic ash, i arrived back this mornin @ 2am. check out mi channel 4 mi vid's of lgw-mle, mle-lgw and seaplane transfers!
now, due to the misguided policy of opening up or converting "child friendly" resort islands in the Maldives, the relative silence on this aircraft would be ruined by hordes of screaming kids and crying babies...
if i were given a million pound, i would not go for luxury cars and sexy babes. instead, i will use all the money for breathtaking flights by all types of planes!
went there in 2004 in a 777 to dubai from london and dubai to maldives in an a340 such a great holiday!!
The most beautiful plane and the most beautiful place in the World!

What a beautiful island!
@mike86183 Bright clouds/sky reflected on the sea, it is there through much of the video to varying degrees.

@jonjamg So jealous, went to Nika Island last october, miss it so much!
maldives is a great place!;D
@Trevorpilot123
I live in Dubai and i travelled with Emirates many times; Emirates takes off from Dubai only.
cant wait to go there on Dec. 23rd
Not sure - I will have a closer look and let you know.
Physics, wing area? There is a lot of things I don't know. But I don't think the runway is "small". ;)
very nice !
Runway is 10,499ft or 3,200m in length.
Nice Video
cool video
Malé, a true island city.
what seat is this on the Boeing 777-200
check out the AN124 @ 4:09
This is seat 6A - Emirates operates this service in 2 classes - Business and Economy - I was lucky enough to be in Business - the last row
@emiratesA380NCL Looked like an AN-124 to me.
amem!
Hi im from maldives
You mean LIVE there!! :)
It's Antonov 124 not 224
@Trevorpilot123
Dubai for sure
its not small, its big enough for almost any plane
See the An-124 @ 4:06 + - cool
superble!
AN124???????

@crocuzz
what a stupid comment. nice video
now, due to the misguided policy of opening up or converting "child friendly" resort islands in the Maldives, the relative silence on this aircraft would be ruined by hordes of screaming kids and crying babies...
nope b747
@ytertyu just cos ur too poor to go there. the maldives rule
why the hell would you pay for girls? Can't you get some without giving them money?
if i were given a million pound, i would not go for luxury cars and sexy babes.
instead, i will use all the money for breathtaking flights by all types of planes!
Should have rejected the landing and gone elsewhere.
