Did you know that there is a commercial flight in a Airbus A350 that lasts less than 15 minutes? I'll tell you what the commercial jet flight is. shortest in the world.
The world of commercial aviation constantly surprises us with new routes, more efficient planes and innovative services. Nevertheless, There is one aspect that always attracts attention: the flight duration. Today we will focus on one end of this spectrum: the world's shortest commercial flight on a jet aircraft.
We have previously talked about shortest commercial flight in the world that takes between 2 a 3 minutes, Yes, you are reading well, but there are other records like the longest of all and today we will talk about a very special one that involves a huge A350.
The shortest commercial flight on a jet plane
This is a topic that I had in mind for a long time., in which I even thought that the route Guayaquil to Cuenca could have been one of the world's shortest routes in a jet, but literally, I fell short.
The portal Flight Radar 24, who better to say it, revealed what is the shortest flight in the world operated by a jet and nothing more and nothing less, It is an airplane with capacity 324 passengers.
Maybe it doesn't make sense, but there is a commercial flight in a Airbus A350 of Air France that lasts no more than 13 minutes, and sometimes even less, but why does this flight exist?
In fact, You can follow it daily as flight AF754 and you will be surprised how short this route takes the plane to just 5.000 feet of altitude, you can't even have a drink of water, but this route has a great explanation.
why so short?
Flight AF754 connects to Paris with Brazzaville capital of the Republic of the Congo and Kinshasa capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in a single flight, instead of flying on separate routes to each, the airline prefers to connect them into a single, This is because there is not enough demand to connect both cities., but if you join them, the result is profitability.
After that short journey, the flight returns to Paris, with passengers who got on in both Brazzaville and Kinshasa, really a different idea, which on the technical side represents a short super cycle of engines that are lost on that route.
This short air journey, that connects to France with both Congo, challenges our perception of what an “airplane trip” means. With a duration of around 12 minutes, This flight has become a popular anecdote among travelers and aviation enthusiasts..
I would like to be on this flight
Beyond the technical aspects, This flight offers a unique experience for both passengers and crew. The feeling of being in the air for such a short time is almost surreal., and provides a different perspective on commercial aviation, even more so in such a large aircraft.
Without a doubt a unique experience that I would like to be in and make a flight report, certainly, It would also be my shortest report of all..
What is the shortest flight you have flown on??
