Thanks for that. As a passenger I loved the A340. Lovely looking aircraft (the best looking airliner IMO). 2-4-2 seating meant that if you booked ahead you could get a window seat & a aisle seat next to each other, and they were comfortable size seats. And I liked the feeling of security four engines gave on long over-ocean flights.
It got a bad reputation, according to my opinion it was a campain from B Kjos, saying SAS had very old and fuel inefficient airplanes. Sure, the A340 consumed around 10% more per nm than the A330 and of course more than the much more modern B787. That was B Kjos point. But the A340 could fly up to 14 hrs and the classic only 10hrs or slightly more. Furthermore, the A340 could carry more load than the A330. The A350, which SAS have now is much more fuel efficient than both A330 and A340 and as I find even slightly better than the B787. A330/340 and B787/A350 are different generations.
@@bjornpilot 10% more for same payload and sector length? I figured the extra fuel burn on the 340s mostly just went into the heavier weight when compared to the 330s. On the 500/600 it was especially bad due to the low seat density you get from 8 abreast (compared to 10 on the 777 it was trying to competing with) while the OEW went up by 35%...
@@wewillrockyou1986 For same payload and sector lenght. DOW is ca 5 tons lower for the A330 compared to the A340. The problem for a Classic 330 is that it is limited to 10hrs or slightly more, on max ZFW. That’s outside Tokyo to Copenhagen or Shanghai to Copenhagen flying time. The A340 could do it easily, also the A350. Of course the A350 is superior to both A340 and 340, since it’s a 30 years more modern plane. 😊
A340 at ENBR is a seldom sight. I last saw one chartered during lockdown. Direct flight from South Africa with oil workers unable to get home through normal routes.
Heard you comment on the slope after landing. I cummute offshore with helicopter from BGO, and I always look down the runway and think that slope/curve must complicate things.
Tack! Är så glad att jag spelade in så många videos och att jag kan redigera dem nu, vilket jag inte kunde ca 2014-15. Har mera tid nu också efter att jag slutat på SAS. Mycket tacksam för dina och andras uppskattande ord. 🙏🏼😇
Takk Bjørn og godt nytt år! Artig å lande på min tidligere arbeidsplass BGO/ENBR. I 2014 var grunnarbeidene til den nye terminalen T3 så vidt begynt. Man kan se ett par byggekraner til høyre for terminal T2. Legg også merke til Norwegian's fjernparkerte Boeing 787. Den gang hadde de rute mellom BGO og NYC. Den samme B787'en flyr vel i dag for NORSE?
Before COVID they used to fly a number of the regular NRT-CPH flights to BGO instead every summer. Most if not all of the seats was bought by Japanese tour operators.

Fantastic views, smooth as silk landing. Bergen is my forever go to place 🇬🇧
Very nice place. For a 340 the runway is a bit short, so you have to do it right. 👍🏼😉
I'm there again this month, 22nd, I can't wait 🇬🇧🇧🇻
Beautiful, this plane approached right above my house so its a cool sight.
Love the beautiful Scenery! Norway is so beautiful!
Thats nice to hear. Its my hometown 😊
That’s both a beautiful approach and a perfect landing! Thanks!
Awesome Björn! Liked! Cheers, dominic
Tak Bjørn - godt at se og håber at alt er godt efter SAS. Tak for mange gode videoer 🙂
Tack själv! Allt är bara bra. Hittade Goprovideos i en gammal dator. Nu kan jag redigera mm, på ett sätt som jag inte kunde tex 2014. 🙂👍🏼
Minnen... tack för att du delar detta med oss:)

Great to see some videos of the "old days" - thanks, oops I mean "tak" :)
Love these videos. Hope you're doing well Captain.
I'm fine, hope you are too. Thanks for watching! Happy because I found some old videos that I could not edit in 2014. Did not have Imovie then. 🙂
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Beautiful approach 😍Thank you!
You're a genius!
Super video! 👏
Gott nytt år på dig Björn! Förbannat fin inflygning mot Bergen.
Tack! Gott Nytt År till dig också! ✈️👍🏼😊
Nice very nice smooth landing
Nice landing. I didn't feel a thing!

3:15 I live in one of the houses on the left!
Flesland airport is : Takoffpower - up the hill - down in the wally - then rotate if speed is there..
Velkommen til Bergen 😊
your trynna tell me that this went RIGHT over my house and i neither saw or heard it?
Probably the best place to land in Norway!
Heard you comment on the slope after landing. I cummute offshore with helicopter from BGO, and I always look down the runway and think that slope/curve must complicate things.
Complicating only a little. 😉
Nice! I love the Airbus A 340. The seat configuration in monkey class is greatly missed. Cheers from Denmark.
Thanks for watching! 👍🏼🙂
Härligt att se dig flyga "igen"

Dina videor alltid lika bra✈
Vh Benny B
Sykt kult og se på! Tar video av fly der hele tiden :D

Jeg tror Norse har alle 787 fra Norwegian, mens Flyr har vel alle MAX'ene.
ILS 17 to my hometown 😊 Were you empty on the next leg down to CPH?
Yes, as far as I can remember yes.
3:14 I live right there… down left
Wow, but why the A340 to Bergen? Was it a charter?
Before COVID they used to fly a number of the regular NRT-CPH flights to BGO instead every summer. Most if not all of the seats was bought by Japanese tour operators.
@@Slug24 ah ok. Cool
Exactly so, yes.
Its my hometown Bergen
I really like the city of Bergen! 👍🏼🙂
Har saknat dessa klipp. Men varför en 343 i Bergen?
Japanska turister som skulle åka hurtigrutten eller något cruise ship. 😉🇳🇴
Wiw
8:03 Kjempe kult og se norwegain 787 som ikke lenger er i service.
