    Very nice video - well edited. I am beginning to really like the A330.

    Remember this route was flown using a B747-400 for many years...
    It was very impressive to see the 4-engine 747 arrive at the airport over the ocean, fly very low over the beach, and land.
    And also to see it take off from that short runway and immediately make a sharp turn to avoid the mountains.

    1.55: 34 sq mi? You mean 87 sq km. Metric is global standard. Through using 'imperial', you're not being 'courteous' but sending the wrong signal. Same with 24 h clock vs am/pm. And of course, lbf would be N

      Yeah but imperial is much better!

    • @michaellaudahn
      @michaellaudahn 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sure. Keep using it for home purposes, but adapt to world standards in international settings. That's a reasonable formula, in contrast to your continued anglo-autistic folly. Especially if you don't learn foreign languages yourselves and depend on others for communication

    07:25 The airplane can make a safe takeoff performance to Amsterdam from SXM. This route (AMS-SXM-AMS) has been flown with a 747 and a A330. The rotation changes sometimes from AMS-SXM-CUR-AMS to AMS-SXM-AMS. Between SXM-CUR KLM does not have traffic rights. Tis is only for the pax in SXM.

      Yup. Even a A340 can do SXM to Paris :)

      @eulero75 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The B747 had to do a refuel stop in Guadeloupe because, in order to take off with a so short runway, it had to embark just a very little quantity of fuel. I guess the same happens to every long-haul aircraft like A330, A340 or B777. Maybe the Dreamliner B787 could do the direct route, but I don't know honestly.

    The reconstruction on terminal; has just started and expected to last 2 years but some parts will be open by end of next year. At least this is a new timeline for now unless something else will go wrong.

    St Martin/Sint Marteen is a most beautiful island! I visited there in 2017! I was anxious to visit maho beach which was famous for the jet blast! Unfortunately I was still on vacation, when it was devastated by category 5 hurricane 🌀Irma and had to be evacuated to curaçao for my flight back to London!
