Not many días atrás we saw cómo in a Boeing C-17 GlobeMaster III traveled Más de 800 passengers departing from From Afghanistanán, ¿But it has been the operationón in which más passengers has taken in an avión is this military or commercial?
the answer is very interesting, but before reviewing it, some data must be put into context. For example, and as we well know, the commercial aircraft and military They have their pesos máXimo of takeoff and capacity mácargo.
Another point to take into account in the case of commercial aircraft, is that these have a máXima de passengers sitting, where for example a Boeing 747-400 couldíto welcome up 660 passengers like máximo certificate if this is configured in a single class with seats of economy classómica.
In this same context, we have seen cómo the airlineíNeas in season of pandemic have looked for ways to keep their passenger planes flying, but with load, so the seats have been removed, massifying así his capacity, The same as Pasó With what is so far the flight with the greatest númere passengers in history.
¿Cuál was the máximo of passengers who have carried an avión?
The C-17 flight leaving Afghanistán does not have the récord máximo, But the one who sí He also has itén I do itó within particular circumstances within an evacuationóemergency number.
The máximo histórich that is even a guinness record is taken by a boeing 747-200 from the airíNea Israelí The al when it is doneó La surgeryón Solomon with the aim of evacuating Judíus oneíOpes since Addis Adaba en Ethiopiaía.
Are youí that he 24 May 1991, In this missionón especial 1.088 people they flew inside the Boeing 742 suitable without seats to maximize its capacity, although registration of the éLittle reveals that there will finally beíthe cycle 1.122 passengers where even two were born you drink during the flight.
Without a doubt during the operationón Solomon other flights with núMeros close to 900 passengers were fulfilled, but úonly for this case it was madeúblico númere end, Given the magnitude and réworld cord.
The following Hist dataóRico has the Boeing C-17 flight with 823 people on board, which holds on that flight the réCORE FOR THIS AVIón military.
Another example, but that it has not been carried outún, is he Airbus A380 like the aviónumber of passengers más biggest in the world, couldíto transport to 868 passengers in a single class, But no airlineíNEA has opted for that configurationón.
Finally, the grandfatheróload n máS Big of the world Antonov an-225 although for its sizeñUNO thinkíWhat can thousands of passengers carry, Your fuselage presents several challengeíos, One of them is not to have a pressurized cargo zone and narrow spaces given its constructionón focused on load, So Cálulles have raised it to 444 people in seats.
Both the A380 and the AN-225 couldíto carry many más passengers of theí marked if missions were made without seats such as the Boeing 747-200 by El Al, So knowing the capacity máXima filling until the úlast space is Difícyl to know.
