Hello.

0:04

Now the travel is slowly but surely

0:07

coming back. Let's talk about commercial flights.

0:09

So if I ask you what is a short commercial flight,

0:11

I think you'd probably tell me maybe 45

0:14

minutes, 50 minutes or so. That's really short.

0:16

Right? But do you know the shortest

0:18

commercial flight in the world? Actually

0:21

lasts just 57

0:23

seconds, isn't it? Like what

0:25

I mean? Taking off, doesn't it take longer

0:27

than that already? Now it's a Logan air flight

0:30

and it goes between two Scottish islands of West

0:32

Ray and papa West Ray and it lasts

0:34

57 seconds. It's a distance

0:36

of 1.7 miles, which is about

0:39

2.74 kilometers. That is the shortest

0:41

commercial flight in the world. Now you might be thinking

0:43

2.74 kilometers. You can

0:46

technically walk. Right? But remember these are between two

0:48

islands. So I guess walking is not really

0:50

an option or even driving or cycling.

0:52

Now the trip is made via one of 28

0:55

seater planes. So at any one point in time

0:57

you can only have eight people on that plane and it's a small

0:59

plane. So the exact time of the journey

1:01

actually could take a little bit longer if they're strong

1:04

winds because a small plane. Right? So Logan, it claims

1:06

that it does take less than a minute if

1:08

there is favorable wind

1:09

conditions
