    Watch the BBC first on iPlayer 👉 bbc.in/iPlayer-Home Ed is at Heathrow Airport, a crucial link in Britain's seafood supply chain. As a cargo hub, Heathrow handles a third of the UK's long-haul export goods, by value. And sending out seafood by air is a huge part of Heathrow's daily operation. Ed sees how crates of seafood are transported beneath the feet of long-haul passengers, in cargo holds, and how this dual purposing of flights allows the Scottish salmon industry to export nearly a quarter of a billion pounds worth of salmon a year to far flung places like the USA and China.

    And they have the nerve to charge you ludicrous amounts for your hand luggage being "over sized" or "over weight" when you have these enormous pallets weighing 4.5 tons on board...

    Dear Britain
    We can only eat so much Salmon and we also kinda have two, maybe three perfectly good fishing coasts. Can I suggest a rethink of Brexit?
    Love, the US.
    PS yeah apparently wild-haired idiots are like this.

    4:28 - "Flying a fully booked passenger plane with its belly loaded with freight will burn MORE fuel than if it traveled with just the people and their luggage" ...isn't that obvious? Or is this a mistake? Sounds like exporting goods this way is a massive extra burden on the planet and our wallets

    • @snownation
      @snownation 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You make it seem like the importers are getting free delivery of their salmon, and that passengers are subsidising this cost. I assure you they’re not, importers will pay for the extra fuel required.

    • @julianzammit
      @julianzammit 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@snownation I'm only suggesting the way it was said seemed to suggest that exporting goods this way made sense from a fuel perspective. It's good business sense, but obviously costs more money and produces more carbon emissions.

    • @wilburfinnigan2142

      Julian BUT dumb ass it makes money for the airlines !!! They do not fly that freight for nothing !!!!! DUUUUUHHH!!!!!!!!

  • @sarahxoxo6998
    @sarahxoxo6998 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Talking about yr money saving opportunities, right. In actuality, not only r they illegally shipping tons n tons of raw fish n other seafood for FREE, but the airline is Getting Paid (by all the "paying" customers) to fly all that nastiness across the globe. All right under all y'all assess. There is no way this is legal....right? Airlines r adding literal TONS in weight to each flight leaving Britain, the strain its putting on the plain engines im sure is going to cause a crash. The money these crooks r saving by doing this is going to cost them dearly, I'm sure. Be careful Britains peoples

    • @fermat2112
      @fermat2112 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can be sure that the fish does not fly for free. And I’m pretty sure the yanks and us have an agreement to bring the fish over.

    • @wilburfinnigan2142
      @wilburfinnigan2142 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sarah what a dumb ass !!! Airliners can carry so much weight and if not filled with passengers why not frieght !!! It makes your ticket cheaper !!!! DUUUUUHHHHH!!!!!!

    • @antaripbiswas3783
      @antaripbiswas3783 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sarah! Surely the engineers who designed and built the airplane are not as stupid as you!! They sure make lot of calculations before designing an airplane. Hence, these jets, their engines and wings are designed to carry a load of salmon...and yes stuff which is much heavier than that....so ya...tons of fish don't cause planes to crash...
