I love how the first approach controller caused the pilot to say the full flight number, then called the second approach with the same flight number, only to get called red nose xD
cowbert It’s still 2019 and I stand by my word. Soon! They’ve abandoned Argentina. They’ve abandoned ARL and CPH long-distance flights. They’ve abandoned the US Northeast 737 bases, including flights to the Caribbean and Europe. They’ve sacked their CEO. Don’t you worry... it’s coming.
That would be so cool. Does anyone know how the planes get their names? Can a pilot just make it up? Some of these seem rather informal, like rednose which is not a company nor an airline name.
Hi, Alex! Aviation call signs are proposed by the airlines but have to be approved by an international governing body called the ICAO. Some of the most entertaining ones are some of the earliest (British Airways = "Speedbird," which still makes me grin a little) and some of the dumbest (United = "United," which still makes me grin a little). There's a wikipedia page about Aviation Call Signs and some external links to individual airline pedigrees.
D'awwww!! That's adorable! Rednose - love it! I've flown Norwegian a couple of times and never had anything but good experiences with them. (Well, except for having to pay extra for literally everything - but that's a budget airline for you. Can't say I didn't know what I signed up for.) They're such a great little airline.
I've flown 4 times in total now. their ordering system is brilliant and dangerous. just swipe your card on the tv screen for the first order and it'll leave the tab open until you land.
All of the other airplanes Used to laugh and call his callsign They never let poor Norwegian Join in any air traffic Then one foggy airport Eve Tower came to say "Norwegian, with your callsign so bright Won't you guide tower tonight?" Then how the airplanes loved him As they shouted out with glee "Norwegian the Red-Call Signed Airplane You'll go down in history"
The ‘Red Nose’ callsign suits them very well! It’s always fun to catch JFK off guard on the call signs. The guy on Kennedy tower wins (oh, that is interesting). Slight correction at 1:47, “it’s a different AOC.”
LOL poor Rednose! It's like being that one kid who has an unusual name and gets constantly questioned and made fun of for it in elementary school. Loved it when someone yelled "Rudolf" haha
Yup. Absolutely true! Former Rednose cabin crew here, and our callsign was Nortrans for Irish AOC (NAI). Norshuttle is for NAS, as far as I can recall ^___^. We also call ourselves "rednoses".
If Norwegian gets "Rednose" , why doesn't like Qantas get "Dingo" or Korean air "Pepsi" . (Lol when I was young, a lot of kids at my elementary school saw a Korean air a380 and they called it "Pepsi Airlines" because of the tail logo and as I was Korean tried to explain to them it wasn't Pepsi lol)
History sometimes! Some airlines do have interesting callsigns. For instance, South African Airways has the callsign Springbok and British Airways is Speedbird. ASL Belgium (formerly TNT) uses Quality, and TUI Belgium (formerly Jetairfly) uses Beauty.

@@AgentSmith911 I guess, but when it comes at the cost of circumventing labour laws and avoiding paying social security for the workers, it's very unethical and kinda despicable in my opinion. Anything for cheaper tickets, I guess. "Race to the bottom", indeed.
Thing is, the whole Norwegian workforce was unionized and worked according to union negotiated T&Cs (and of course paid their social security contributions), unlike most of the 20 Lufthansa AOCs, where there is a real race to the bottom. Flying a 777 for less than a 100k as a captain, or an A330 to the USA for at most 108k as a captain, both well below what Norwegian used to pay. I'm always a bit surprised by the vitriol from the US pilots for Norwegian, when their alliance and code share partners use much more dubious means of employment and setups, operating under united flight numbers.
Lol same thing happened when I was listening to my sons flight from Gatwick to Chicago with the same Airline , The controller was getting confused with the call sign and having a laugh. may have been the first NRS flight into ORD.
That day, Norwegian switched all of its flights from Gatwick to out of the EU to Rednose with DI (instead of DY) flight numbers. The difference here is: Norwegian UK is now 20x weekly to JFK while only later in the day to everywhere else.
Late reply but nobody gave the true answer. The audio pilots or ATC hear is much better quality, because pilots are in the air with no obstructions and ATC simply has a better system. The audio we hear is not great quality because it was picked up by some ground-based radio system (likely amateur/hobbyist).
very late reply but if you want really mad comms look up some saturation diving stuff. The divers are on a helium oxygen mix so all sound like donald duck
all airlines need this type of callsign like shamrock or rednose LOT Had this on Cold War - LOT (Landed on Tempelhof, Lot Okęcie-Tempelhof (Flight Warsaw okecie-berlin tempelhof) or Landet oft Tempelhof (often lands on Tempelhof)
Race to the top , the only budget airliner that offer long flights. As long as the pilots and staff are happy with the working conditions , which is better than in the US, I see no problems here.
They do actually assign those numbers like 7700, 7600 and 7500 to flights? Isn't that a bit confusing, considering that these are the emergency transponder codes?
