Keeping aircraft fit for flight | exclusive Ljubljana maintenance tour

[@anomalique_ofc]

This guy is so enthusiastic about his job! Love his attitude. How he was smiling when talking about his 50th anniversary :))

[@adamh6026]

These videos are an absolute gold! Pavel is a really nice guy and obviously a aviation legend.

[@gregj7916]

What a nice guy, imagine all the stories he could tell, all the history in that part of the world, why did that CRJ have an Ireland flag on it?

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

They asked us not to identify any customers but I’ll give you a hint, it’s an operator that flies on behalf of other airlines!

[@daniello1]

LH

[@mznidar]

it's a CityJet CRJ900 :)

[@johnclauder615]

Fascinating, but scary as well when you see the thousands of parts, meaning thousands of potential failures, and yet day in / day-out they fly and take us safely to our destination ... I think it's a miracle and a credit to the people involved !

[@stephanherrneder2232]

I love the enthusiasm that the tour guide has!! he is just enjoying everything about everything!! and I also love to see what is going on behind the "scenes" for an airplane to fly!!

[@covercompositionandmixes9203]

I work in a big MRO as an aircraft technician and watching this video after a long day at work! feels so great as i could relate to everything i do on a daily basis. Thanks man. We aircraft techs are always left behind and the hard work we put is unrecognized by mass people.

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

That's really great to hear you enjoyed it, thank you! It's incredible what aircraft techs do. Unsung heroes for sure!

[@nikkiredfern4515]

Absolutely amazing,! And Pavel, what a gem....sooo much knowledge, and so much enthusiasm!

[@SteenPedersen]

Very interesting videos. What a nice guy Pavel. Great tour. Thanks.

[@ianhiles8706]

What an absolutely genuine nice guy who showed you round ... an aviation industry legend and no doubt well respected by anyone who has the pleasure of knowing and working with him ...

[@TC.C]

Fantastic video. The Big Jet TV audience especially love this type of documentary videos.

[@sadflandnav]

Great video and what a nice guy as your tour guide.

[@Danny_Roman.]

An amazing story I enjoyed every second of that. Brilliant the expertise of the guys who work so hard to ensure our safety. We'll done everyone. ❤

[@tusharsaikhedkar9808]

what a sweet guy.

[@markusp1788]

MRO is the backbone of everyone flying safe, thanks for making these vids! Go visit the largest air cargo terminal in Northern Europe? The Finnair Cargo Hub in Helsinki.

[@JenniferinIllinois]

50 years. WOW!!!! He's seen some stuff for sure. 😁

[@Mlgraham22]

I wish Pavel would show more joy for his job.😊 He must be a dream to work for. Loved the video and would love to see more. Living in ATL would love to see the Delta ops center. They have Boeing, Airbus, CRJ, and Embraer so it would be neat to compare and contrast with the line guys who really know the ins and outs.

[@jamessmitka8066]

We know you love doing videos like this (especially being under that RJ that was on lifts) because we love seeing videos like this! One can see why the cost of these aircraft are so high to build and then that cost is relayed to us to fly in them. All aircraft, general aviation or larger, are expensive to operate. Thanks, due to this video, we see what it takes and I know I am thankful. Jim

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Thanks! I'm sometimes amazed at how relatively cheap it is to fly after seeing all that goes into keeping them airworthy! Not to mention the complex day to day operations.

[@eduardoevangelista2403]

Thank you for your video! It’s nice to know some people love flying and other people with care and dedication maintain aircraft fitted to fly!!! A big family…

[@FaisalAhmed-h2q]

I got my training from Adria. Saw a lot of friends working there.

[@FLHTdriver]

Great video, such a massive job to do a major inspection on these large AC. And WoW, I would love to be able to search for a part and have it almost placed in your hand like they can.

[@Oduck22]

2:38 my love of aviation started in a maintenance hangar like this, crawling under CRJ and DHC-8. Flying non-rev meant I was always in the back, but I’d love having the engine next to my head 🛩🙃😬 The procedures for maintaining planes is very complex and organized, and ridiculously expensive 🤑

[@JelmersAviation]

Amazing and interesting video man!

[@JNK1337]

Perfect, thank you gabriel for another peek into not so fancy part of the aviation industry. I know it prolly never happen because its clasified, but i would love to see some conversion of a330 to military MRTT variant.

[@halina8369]

Absolutely great video. ✈️ Thank you. 🥀

[@flightpercussionist3943]

try visit air kenya engineering maintenance company in kenya, maintaining the DHC-6,7,8 AND Cessna Caravan C208B

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Oh wow that would be amazing!

[@RFSYTAviation]

Would be awesome if you could check La Muñoza storage and maintenance facility in Madrid

[@toby.maximillian]

You should try visit Eastern Airways’s maintenance base in Humberside, UK. Think that would be interesting.

[@ScottishT]

Amazing video Gabe, my only complaint is there isnt enough for md to enjoy lol

[@mpbee78]

I don't know where their fleet is maintained, but it'd be interesting to go out of the commercial space: I'm wondering what behind the scenes looks like for UN Humanitarian Air Service or WFP Logistics. I think they still use an Ilyushin for food drops

[@bcorr35]

Very interesting video. Perhaps Lufthansa Technik would agree for a tour

[@marcel-rudimantaj4773]

Airmalta or Lufthansa Technik or SR technic malta would be awesome!!

[@bhanukhaladkar738]

How about a tour of a Boing maintenance facility?

[@mike499]

That's a cool guy

[@andersfant4997]

Another topic. Do you know why Finnair changed their routes from Asia? No longer over the Artic. Cheers.

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

They won't have changed them permanently. It's all down to the winds. Sometimes the southern route, which is less distance travelled, makes more sense if headwinds aren't bad.

[@andersfant4997]

​@@Flightradar24DotCom Thanks.

[@Danny_Roman.]

Who owns flight radar 24 ?

[@bhanukhaladkar738]

Oops. I mean Boeing!!
