Welcome to the new Argyle International Airport which opened on February 14th 2017, which also marked the End of operations at the E.T Joshua. Join me as we watch this airport develop tourism for St. Vincent and Grenadines

St. Vincent and the Grenadines have 5 Airports. The Main one being Argyle International Airport which is Located on Main land St. Vincent.
Second Airport is J.F Michel which is located on the popular Island of Bequia. The island of the clouds.
Third Airport is Mustique Airport.
Forth Airport is called Canouan Airport.
Fifth Airport. is located in Union Island.
Nice to see a 747 landed at AIA. Still waiting for Virgin Atlantic and British Airways to land at AIA someday. Beautiful to watch. Proud to be Vincy. X
What a great catch, that's awesome to see the mighty 747-400 visiting Argyle International!
The Queen of the skies has finally arrived at AIA. Awesome footage of One Caribbean first 747-400 and continue the good work.
I landed a 747-400 here on flight simulator and looked on RUclips to see what the real airport looked like. I was surprised to see a video of a real 747 landing on this short runway.
This flew right over top of me when I was lying on the beach on Bequia. Very impressive.
I was waiting for you to post after I saw the news about it. Great quality as always. The zoom makes me feel like I was there. I can't wait to see a nice livery on it, along with the 🇻🇨 on it. Big up One Caribbean, and it's hub AIA. Again much thanks to one of the best spotters!!
Amran Nero can’t wait to see the livery too
LeVieDeAsh what colors you think they will use? I say blue (dominant ) and yellow. Also the seating arrangements will be interesting. Definitely, good things to look forward to!
Amran Nero well they have 2 different shades of blues in their logo. I see them doing that and prob using the sun too.
What a mighty jet! The queen has arrived bow down to her
Beautiful ex China airlines aircraft 🥳 had the opportunity to be on the tarmac for this such a historic moment never thought I’d see the 747 before the 777 here especially for it to be operated by a local company!
Flawless landing. Passengers never felt a thing.
Impressive video of the first Jumbo visit, wow 👌
100x likes, my friend!
That's a whole lotta airplane for such a tiny runway. Nice.
That's not a tiny runway madame...look how long the captain took to put down the main gears and nose gear...if it was tiny trust me the queen would've over shoot it.
Awesome Video SVG PRIDE AVIATION thumbs up to you Man!!!!
we are on the cutting edge of the Event Horizon IN SVG..endless possibilities for perspective Air Operators like myself to provide rapid transit services to all of SVG.its in the works myfriend...
Naturally, the owners/partnership who would have leased this jet surely would have done their market analysis and bit the bullet with whatever their Business model is to make this investment. Reasonably, I dont believe that it will be operating from SVG. More than likely it will provide a specialized charter service wherever the business calls for it. What it's landing albeit empty has done is test somewhat the specifications of the AIA which it was built to accommodate. The next aspect is to see how it takes off. Whatever the business model, I want to big up the principals of One Caribbean and pray for safe operations, you were the first to land the iconic Boeing 747 in SVG. A historic milestone achievement!!! Never believe I would have lived to see this happen. To God be the glory...
What at smooth text book landing similar to the British Royal Air Force landing a few weeks back.Great video
Good landing. Seems like he had to hit the brakes fairly hard. We might need to build an extension soon.
Nice to see the landing fee includes a free wash.
Congratulations mate !!!!
Looking back at this what happened to Everette and One Caribbean?
Nice a B744 in SVG and is a One Caribbean Owned that's Awesome I hope they'll lease a B777 & B738 Next too hopefully soon then even add more Planes too with a New Livery.
Great catch! 🔥👍
KKisangani
Amazing work you made my day
Yes, registered B-18208 to China Airlines on 20/11/98. Stored under current registration in 2017
Sure will be happy to know when it's heading out to see the takeoff...
Superb video mate!!
Buttered that landing!! 👌🏼
Wonderful catch! Charter?
Good catch!!!
Where is this Aircraft now? Has it joined the other 747 Aircrafts around the world?
Yes! Great vid
Nuff Big Ups for the video sir
great video , liked
If the use it for charters only and special flights it would be worth it, however due to the size of the aircraft, length of runway I see it being weight restricted for takeoffs if they can fill all the seats and cargo space. A full plane equal profit. It would make a good cargo plane for the Caribbean. Transport cars, large equipment and other cargo needed quickly rather than waiting on a ship.
Except flying to Caribbean airports will be too short for this large aircraft that is really designed to fly on long haul routes. Having it fly over sea will increase the wear and tear of the aircraft and may force these investors to put out more money to maintain it.
Great shot of the pretty bird arriving! Keep it up!!
Subbed ya as well:)
How l love the 747
who are the owner/operators of one caribbean ?.its great to see there is still some need for the 74..it was hart wrenching to see them being destroyed in the Arizona, new mexico desert.
I know this will catch your eyes and interest my brother.
@@vintonjohn3464 Yeah you know it...my Brother..
Hope to see you in commander of the Hu mulzac. ..man
Excellent video.
Barbados added 300 feet of tarmac for this very reason a few years ago. The airport could have taken large aircraft but then someone had a "what if" moment and added the extra runway.
"Tarmac"
@@Editsbypaulie "runway or other area surfaced with tarmac"
Noticed the nose wheel was slow coming down and it needed the entire runway to land. Guess there won’t be very many jumbo jets coming in there.
They didn't use the whole runway, all jets have to go to the end to turn around, he only used 3/4, plus his landing was late
Rodney Morgan Brown it didn’t need the entire runway to land it needed the entire runway to stop lol
@@byne9047 doesnt help considering the plane was empty. imagine if it had a full load of pax. probably a little sketchy
What became of this aircraft?
So Apparently this plane was purchased by the Vincentian airline "One Caribbean" investors? While it's cool to have a 747 land on the island for the first time, it doesn't exactly seem like the wisest investment. There's a reason most North American airlines focus on smaller jets rather than jumbo jets.
TdotSoul exactly... they have to have a way of funneling people to SVD to operate a 747 service to London. Maybe do some big partnership with CAL...
@@AsshurK apparently this 747 is for a route between SVG and Dubai
TdotSoul wow, maybe the demand is there already. I don’t see that but hey.. lol
Ever thought about SVG to London then on to Dubai? It’s the most profitable route no doubt
Not to mention Qatar airways were suppose to have been operating here a long time ago... could be a possible collaboration in the very near future
" Thanks for the water salute, but we just washed her this morning!" Liked the video. A few suggestions, to improve your videos. Use a wind buffer, when possible. If you had started filming, when the B747 was much closer, you wouldn't have had those cuts, and the view would have stayed sharp, as it did while landing. I liked everything else. Thanks.
Where will this beast be flying to?? Btw great catch👍🏼
Where is this aircraft now?
At the Kansas City airport.
Gonna have to touch down a little shorter or they will wear those engines out using the reverse thrusters that much and that long!
Really great video! Lovely to see a 747 at SVG!
But I wonder: what are the plans of One Caribbean for this Jumbo? Where do they plan to fly it?
Hope they add a nice livery to it, but I think that will not happen...
Middle East Dubai etc
Thanks for sharing. I see a 747 landing, I don't get caught up in the political or logistical aspect of the whole deal.
svg pride you know if they already change the registration numbers?
At least they just came but what about mustique airways svgair and liat who been around from caveman time and they just changing for the worst instead of better one Caribbean just needs two smaller jets for now so big them for this time to see our flag go further only this time it's going on a jet
So Fly Jamaica could barely full a 200+ seat 767 and 757 in the off peak with good routes into JFK and YYZ. How's One Caribbean going to full a 400+ seat 4 engine behemoth. Also for those who said the landing was good, are you blind. It missed the touch down zone for that type aircraft and was using all braking mechanisms down to the very end of the runway. I'm also willing to bet it was empty. That could be the crew, which begs the question is rnav/gnss approaches operational or an ILS? I wasn't there so I can't say if there was a crosswind component but that was not a good landing. Fair at best.
Exactly. Air Jamaica, BWIA and its successor Caribbean Airlines have all try it when flying to London or other European destinations, of course, using widebody aircraft. Think about why Air Jamaica and BWIA don't exist and Caribbean Airlines ceased operations on that route. They should of at least codeshare with British Airways or Virgin Atlantic because there's still a good number of Caribbean nationals in London. So the market is there but is how they're handling it.
Well looking at the video, there were slight crosswinds as the aircraft was landing. If you were to look at the airport from the map, the runway from start to end, is facing northeast wards which means it can face westward trade winds which will create crosswinds for any aircraft landing at the airport. There's even videos where aircraft would use the other end of the runway to takeoff because of these winds changing direction.
@@TrinispaceTT So are you saying the airport was built with the prevailing wind being a crosswind? Hmmm interesting, if that's the case. Are the other airports built to have the prevailing winds be headwinds?
@@jstuttgart Most airports in the Caribbean are built facing eastward or diagonally east (west to east) which is better for any aircraft landing or taking off because they're going against the same wind i was talking about.
Going against the wind will help create lift for the aircraft, especially when taking off. Once you create lift, it would be easier for the aircraft to fly.
Sometimes these winds could change direction, if that's the case then aircraft would have to take off from the other end of the runway, once they're going against the wind.
@@TrinispaceTT I get all of that I was asking about the other airports in the country. So based on what you said this particular airport is built in a manner 40 degrees and 220 degrees where the prevailing winds will almost always be a slight crosswind situation. Hmmm interesting.

Also note the "N" for North
It's true SVGPride Aviation, that is an ex-China Airlines!
Club Mickey Mouse Philippines yh it is I have pictures of it in the previous livery
Next a A380, but I still love boeing more
Cool Boeing but it needs to be a airlines company like British airways KLM Lufthansa
Only Thing British Airways an Virgin like we did Fly from Gatwick UK .2 Barbados AS YET .But When Sandals Ex Barc/Bay Open HOPE THEY DO ?
oh thats so awesome so which route will be use for this jet
SVG to Dubai
I believe that it is 20.6 years old I saw it on a page but i cant remember which page. If i do find it, i will add the link here.
Plane spotting net
I use that site too

@svgprideaviation the jet may leave on Sunday n be back during the week
kapitan
i wanna see how many got the reference
Should have been a 777 or a340 but no doubt that's a straight shot to England America and back
According to the news I read, it said to Dubai and the middle East.
@@fitzbournejack9283 middle East? I could understand Dubai but it doesn't have a direct flight to London from here yet and perhaps they jump on that before anyone esle do
Paradise Aviation that aircraft hold about 450 passengers, operating in the Middle East is the best option for them.... how many people do you really think can fly to England or vice versa couple times a week? It simply won’t be profitable right now we need more hotels and stuff here to accommodate etc
Ok do you have a take off video for this?? Thanks
One Caribbean? Is this gonna be another Fly Jamaica? Haven't we all learned the lesson from that complete clusterf**k of bad business decisions? BIG OLD JETS + VERY SMALL FLEET = BIG PROBLEMS EVENTUALLY...
Yea, maybe there's an increase demand for that route? Can't see why investors would fund this. I'm curious to see if it works out. Right now they're having trouble certifying the damn thing
Did anyone notice on the right wing entrance, the wing tip got smacked 7:30 🤣🤣
Nice observation
Yep and the geezers on the left was peeing into the wind 😅😅 Killer video though!
That ain't the big dog that just left not long ago?
2:21 that is true
Saw it before it landed.
Bad grammar lol
@@dominicindoubt smh. Okay
Never knew one caribbean had a 747
V I. Love it
the age is 20.6 and it was china airlines private boeing
just a bit of over speed and they went a bit long on landing
Have you noticed that this runway has absolutely no give? This plane only had about maybe 12 feet of runway give...SMH
What ever happened to this plane?
Currently here enjoying vacation life in barbados lol
Big plane bring a size LIKE liat to one cAribbean
Good caputure, the landing was epic seeing the reverse thrusters ...however I have a little snippet I recorded. You can check it out on my channel .
Ain't see any air Canada
Not that i'm trying to be so negative but this venture in having a small Caribbean airline operate a large aircraft like a 747 on a route that is hardly sufficient from a business perspective is not gonna make sense... or money. I'll be more worry about these so call investors on how they would deal with loses should this venture fails. There's number of reasons why most Caribbean carriers can't substain their profability if they operate a widebody fleet on long haul routes that may not generate enough loads especially year round. I feel whoever set this up only make it seem laughable.
Next time tell them to bring 400 tourist
N registered. that means its an american 747. used up the entire runway. fireman having problems spraying his water...lmao
It's owned by SVG's One Caribbean
I doubt svg has their own registration letter..... So we might use N bc we are in North america
@@Editsbypaulieso the locally owned airplanes are registered under what ??? Smh
N508BB
I heard an ice cream van
That airport was poorly engineered, why the plane gotta come back down the runway to let off passengers...with all that space it should of come around on another track, what if another plane was few mins behind it.
The plane is 20.6 Years old
It said the age is unknown, so I commented that for the people who wants to know
m.planespotters.net/airframe/Boeing/747/N508BB-AAR-Corporation/GP2dF6lO
So it is just sitting in Barbados doing nothing instead earning money for the owners, what a waste
black person call the cops the why Karen does and they will mostly get arrested instead...treated like the suspect the minimum
Have to becareful with these old aircraft , especially of this size , one small glitch can cause an accident, hope they can maintain it , which is vital, but honestly I don't think this is a good idea
This screams smuggling or money laundering lol
Why not but some dash 8 and give liat some competition
