Expo Aviation Amazing! I always thought the A321 would stop to refuel at Thessaloniki after departure from JSI? Didn’t realise the 321 could do direct because of the short runway at Skiathos!
Normally it would go to Kavala for fuel but we had a light enough load to just get through under the weight limit, a pity as there is a L1011 Tri-Star dumped at Kavala that I've been trying to get for the last 3 years and each time being foiled by a direct routing on the day...
From this runway all departures are to the left heading out over Skopelos before following one of three airways away. There is however a VFR airway which crosses the North side of the Island over Koukounaries at 3500ft which perhaps could present a problem, noise abatement is a slight possibility with all the resorts located on the West side of the island though if the aircraft flew far enough out to sea it shouldn't be a problem. Perhaps they just prefer to have all IFR departures go over the VOR at Skopelos...
@@ExpoAviation in 2019 we flew on British airways embraer e195 back to London city and turned right over megaliamos beach and headed north following a xanemos beach departure.
Impressive takeoff! I flew onboard G-SMTJ in 2004 when it was under the MyTravel brand.
Yeah I had G-SMTJ too when it was only a few weeks old :)

Great vid. Showed the kids a take off as they've not been in a plane as yet! Can't wait for a holiday abroad hopefully next year (covid permitting 😕)
Thanks Karen :) I hope you have a great trip :)
I've been to Skiathos many times as both Cabin Crew and on Holiday and this was my first every Xanemos Beach departure ;)
Beautiful video...well done!!!
Thank you :)
Love the engine noise, which make of engine is it?
It's a CFM56-5B3, personally I prefer the Rolls Royce RB-211 :)
@@brianhume4743 No argument from me there, I love the sound of the RB211 and it's great that it is still effectively in production as the Trent :)
We came in on the Bristol flight that day on 20 bit of a different view..
I saw your flight land, G-TCDK I think?
Hi there, nice video . is possible to give us permission to use some.of the footage to our music video clip?
Thanks :) Yes you can, let me know when you've done so I can check it out :)
@@ExpoAviationi will Thanks
Magnificent
Thank you :)
nice vidéo
Thank you :)
Take off, sharp left to head over the airport, why not just takeoff and immediately turn sharp right? Flight paths confuse me
