Fantastic, love it! As a complete aviation saddo Id love that, 2 landings and 2 take offs for the price of one. Well done getting the announcements, love them. Great catch that and well filmed
@britannia079 Thank you so much for your kind words! Yes, it is a very rare catch and was an absolutely priceless experience for me. Plus, four powerful LEAP-1A start-ups in total, one TOGA takeoff and one roughly 90% thrust. Fantastic views, chat with the crew. Lovely day really! Thanks again for your comment!
I had an excellent flight to Mallorca from Gatwick with easyJet in July, I even experienced my first go-around. Full power for both take off and the go-around so got the engine roar all in film
This is brilliant. As EZY crew , a few months back we operated Bristol to Lanzarote and back. On return from Lanzarote we were full and overweight. We were told we were going to sit on the taxiway at Lanzarote to burn fuel and also await the winds to change as they weren't in our favour. Nonetheless, we did eventually leave after about an hour but it's definitely an interesting experience.
@Antoniosviolin As someone who is crazy about aviation, yes, it was a priceless experience for me. I'm glad EZY crew (and I'm sure all other UK airlines) are such professionals, prepared to deal with any situation. Thanks for your comment!
What a cool experience. It is nice to have a take off, with engines running on TO/GA. But there was still a lot safety margin for the take off. They did not even made a take off from the blocks. The thrust increase during waiting and taxi is not only to burn fuel, it is also to bring the engines on temperatures for the TO/GA. Had several times a take off with extreme short taxi time and during this time the engines were running on higher thrust to warm them up.
With a tailwind the Airbus recommended technique is a rolling takeoff. You can also hear the power set in 3 stages as per the tailwind takeoff technique. 50% to stabilise both engines at the same thrust, advance to 70% to get a good airflow into the engine, then set takeoff thrust, which is TOGA in this case.
Same sort of issue on my flight! Lanzarote - Luton. We ended up diverting to faro to pick up more fuel to head back due to the performance limiting factors at Lanzarote's short windy runway
@ace_aviation1 Yes, absolutely the same. It's to do with the fact that easyjet (understandably) operates fully packed flights, it's very hot in the summer (another limiting factor) and wind conditions are not great sometimes. Nevertheless, it is a really rare thing to catch!

@@airflightchannelCorrect, if there’s a tailwind at both directions of the runway, it will affect takeoff as you won’t be facing into the wind in either direction.
@nicholasdavies6264 No, it's not the case. However, some extra precautions must be taken. When I flew with Jet2 and we were refuelling before the flight, we had to keep seat belts unfastened. To my understanding, this is to allow a quick evacuation in case something goes wrong. Thanks for your comment!
They don’t have to disembark, but the seatbelt sign must be OFF while refuelling is taking place for safety reasons (being that if the aircraft needs to be evacuated everyone having their seatbelts on will slow the evacuation down)
@WolfhandsRUclips Thank you for your comment. However, this is not the case. The term 'diverted' means the following: "to cause something or someone to change direction" (Cambridge English dicrionary). In this case, we were planned to fly from Zakynthos to Gatwick. The original flight plan and the boarding pass stated that. However, as a result of an overload the flight was 'diverted' to Milan. We did not plan to make a stop at Milan; it was necessary due to unpredicted circumstances. You are confusing it with mid-air diversion, which happens mainly due to medical incidents, technical issues or weather conditions. Moreover, in Milan, 'diversion safety announcement' was played in the cabin. I did not aim to mislead you by this video.
Please also see below the copy and paste from easyjet Flight status page, where they use the word "diverted": Updated 9 hours ago by easyJet Operations Control Why is your flight diverted? We're very sorry that your flight will diverted to Milan This is due to the current weather conditions and short runway at Zakynthos airport, we will be unable to operate direct to London Gatwick today. We will be stopping at Milan Malpensa to refuel you aircraft before continuing to your destination
As others have said, it was a tech stop and not a diversion regardless of what your message from easyJet tells you. The aircraft departed Zakynthos with a planned route to Milan for fuel and then onto the original destination. Flying with a plan from A to B but ending up in C is a diversion as you could expect for a tech issue, medical pan etc. If easyJet send passengers a message apologising for the tech stop, unless you work in aviation nobody will understand it hence the divert message you recieved. You can either learn from that or just choose to ignore it as you have the others. 🤐
Ok, thank you for your comment. I believe at this point, I would just say that there are varied opinions on this incident. You can see many positive comments here because all I wanted to do really is to create an interesting content for people to watch. Still, in my view, it is a diversion. I respect the fact that you disagree with that. As I mentioned in other replies, I am just a guy who loves aviation. And I love creating content about aviation. I do not do that because I want to get benefit from it. I just love it. And there are many people who love it as well and are interested in watching these videos. I appreciate your opinion and thank you for your comment again.
@DirtyFokker Ok that's brilliant and I am proud to have an audience of aviation professionals. As I say, thanks for your comment and I hope you enjoyed the video despite this disagreement with the diversion terminology. By the way, regarding your previous comment, I did not ignore any comment under this video and have responded to every comment concerning diversion issue, like yours. I am trying to respond to every single comment under my videos. So I am not entirely sure what you meant by "ignore it as you have others".
Congratulations on your lack of education. A tech stop doesn’t count as a diversion (even if you didn’t know about it when you boarded) You earned a thumbs down for the click bait title

@@AirportPlaneSpotting Brilliant! Luckily, you didn't have a diversion ;)
Never known a tailwind on both runways!?! Crazy stuff indeed! On the postive side you got to Milan.
@pacmanghostdude5227 Yes, extremely rare! I was happy to witness it though haha! One hour stay on a remote parking stand at MXP... yes, worth a visit!
Nothing more soothing than an engine start up

If there's a tailwind, could they not take off in the opposite direction so as to face into the wind?
@@joebarrett4353 No, because it was a tail wind on both ends of the runway. Very rare occasion.
@@airflightchannelCorrect, if there’s a tailwind at both directions of the runway, it will affect takeoff as you won’t be facing into the wind in either direction.
Correct me if I’m wrong but don’t all passengers have to disembark during refuelling ?

they changed the announcement voice :(

Why is the plane getting a refuel?
Please refer to timelink 03:25 with subtitles on. I explained the reason there. Thanks for your comment.
I remember watching this on flightradar24 and wondering why it diverted
Cool vid but you didn't divert, you flew on a planned flight to LGW via Milan for a tech stop. The term 'DIVERTED' is clickbaity and misleading...
