Airbus A330 - Approach and Landing in Malé, Maldives (ENG sub)

The now-retired Captain Joe Moser in his earlier days with the old airline LTU. PF is First Officer Stefan Kater. Surely one of the most gorgeous approaches on Earth.

I once flew to the Maldives (for work) and we landed at night in a rainstorm. It was so strange to be flying lower and lower thru the clouds and then suddenly see the very dark ocean and nothing else until we touched the runway. This daytime landing seemed so nice.

[@talith334]

I visited the Maldives last year and I remember when I first saw the turquiose ocean with the tiny islands and atolls, I was mesmerized. 💙 love flying and it is so nice and interesting to see it from the pilots' point of view. Thank you for the amazing video! Respect and many thanks to all the pilots who do such a wonderful job so we are able to reach every corner of the world. 🙏🏻😌

[@andydunn5673]

Nice landing I went to Royal Island with my late wife Happy memories The Maldives are paradise And the locals happy to see you Which doesn’t always happen in luxury island destinations

Ich wollte mal als Kind immer ein Pilot werden. Das Gefühl eines Take off’s oder einer Landung waren für mich immer Adrenalingefühlvergleichbar. I always wanted to be a pilot as a kid. Take off’s and landings just give me soo much chills.

[@athopi]

The Captain was so calm and re-assuring. And really seemed to like the setting and enjoyed sharing about it- I think it is part of his calming nature so the Co-pilot didn't have time to think about being nervous about the short runway. Cool vid!

[@bernie2108]

one of the better "Pilots eye" videos, typical German efficiency, crew co-ordination, and communication.

[@ITVTOT]

I’ve flown here, and as a passenger it was slightly unnerving to see the sea suddenly rise up. I was relieved when wheels hit tarmac! Some amazing pilots out there!

[@Antidote95]

I really miss LTU. Growing up in Düsseldorf, LTU was always giving the feeling they're the 'door' to the world. It felt special to have then based in DUS. A big loss for us.

[@tulatilla1026]

All our respect to all pilots for your amazing job! Thank you so much!

"Get it down nice and smooth" Dang. That would generally make me nervous and I would slam it in.

I flew into Male in 1986 in a Sri Lankan 737 - and it was literally a runway in the sea back then - like landing on an aircraft carrier! All you could see until you were actually on the runway was water. Beautiful place - wonderful memories!

[@knust2329]

I always have a hard time understanding the ATCs. They speak so fast and unclear, yet the pilots have no trouble with this. Might be their experience.

[@florichi]

well, if you read into ATC conversations, you know what they will say and understand it more. It's like communication between parents and their little child.

[@adammcveigh]

Yeah you get used to it because you kind of expect what they are going to say. Like there’s maybe 1 of 3 things they may say so you can make out if one of them is said

[@7usam93]

Its like doctors's bad handwriting that pharmacist read at a glance

Commenting 1/27/20 from southern RI, USA...at 645am EST.... AWESOME shots of those gorgeous turquoise waters all around those beautiful ATOLLS...and the beaches at where the Maldives' landing scene takes place here....as they never see snow at any time....This lovely video also reminds me of this wild dream I had of my being in Tuvalu on 6/18/97, heeeheee..almost 23 years ago....and back then..I thought I'd never see any real such awesomed KZbin videos of such jet takeoffs/landings in all remote corners of the world..like this very scintillating video HERE.... BTW..sorry for the ''527'' dislikes...as there shouldn't be ANY. such dislikes to this amazing video with also the subtitles too..... Much fondness...James, LuvsTstormTapes.

It's interesting to think, that just 300 years ago the journey from a cold country in Europe to the Maldivian tropics, would have taken three months and favourable winds, at a seasonal opportunity - a journey where vitamin deficiency, navigational errors, doldrums, and death was commonplace - can now be achieved in a matter of hours in relative comfort. That's progress for ya.

Actually the Maldives has highly restrictive alcohol laws. So probably not a lot of Margaritas tbh.

Only the airport and exclusive hotel islands are allowed alcohol. You can not buy it anywhere else.

[@barrysheene3408]

Of course, a real paradise! wikipedia tells: Several NGOs denounce an increase in early marriage in remote islands as well as the growing refusal to vaccinate children. Dr. Mohamed Iyaz, an influential advisor to the government in Qur'anic jurisprudence, apologizes circumcision as a “religious obligation”. In 2014, about 100 Maldivian women were whipped in public for “fornication acts.” In 2015, there were between 50 and 200 departures from Maldivians to the Islamic State territories. While the government has officially condemned jihad to Syria, activists and opponents criticize its inaction on the subject, some even fear the establishment of a caliphate in the Maldives

Went to biyadoo in 2003 - five months before the tsunami. The airport is amazing - just a runway and small airport building. Once through passport control, we stepped onto a dock. No buses or taxis. Just boats! A weird but wonderful experience. We then climbed about a large white speedboat and rode the Indian Ocean for an hour. I wonder to this day if Biyadoo was affected by the tsunami.

[@aminathsheeza3287]

U come now it's quite different. Now male is connected to the airport with a bridge and there is another devoloping island next to the airport. And airport is under huge devolopment. U will see huge terminals and two parallel runways and plenty of seaplanes taking off and landing in every minute and plenty of private jets parked in the Easter and nothern apron.its sintillating

Hard to imagine that before the advent of KZbin..some 16 years ago..one would never imagine in seeing such a wonderful landing view in the colorful atolls of the Maldives... right from their EEEZZZ chair from some 10,000 miles away....IOWs...''technology at the cutting edge''....
