St. Maarten (Maho Beach) - Curaçao aboard KLM Airbus A330-200

[@hanssamson5436]

That one has a better climb rate than the quad engine like 747 and a340

[@Rob2]

Remember this route was flown using a B747-400 for many years... It was very impressive to see the 4-engine 747 arrive at the airport over the ocean, fly very low over the beach, and land. And also to see it take off from that short runway and immediately make a sharp turn to avoid the mountains.

Missing so much klm 747 ;(

[@jaynichols7932]

Very nice video - well edited. I am beginning to really like the A330.

The reconstruction on terminal; has just started and expected to last 2 years but some parts will be open by end of next year. At least this is a new timeline for now unless something else will go wrong.

I am glad that i found your channel back. They deleted my former youtoube account and i was desperately trying to find all aviation filers back. It took a while and now i am done. 👍 KLM great as always. Good filming mate....

The landing was so smooth the spoilers seemed hesitant to come out.

[@mamimientje]

thanks for uploading the video Curacao is so beautiful

[@vickyj-lewis1017]

St Martin/Sint Marteen is a most beautiful island! I visited there in 2017! I was anxious to visit maho beach which was famous for the jet blast! Unfortunately I was still on vacation, when it was devastated by category 5 hurricane 🌀Irma and had to be evacuated to curaçao for my flight back to London!

[@simonbruin6209]

07:25 The airplane can make a safe takeoff performance to Amsterdam from SXM. This route (AMS-SXM-AMS) has been flown with a 747 and a A330. The rotation changes sometimes from AMS-SXM-CUR-AMS to AMS-SXM-AMS. Between SXM-CUR KLM does not have traffic rights. Tis is only for the pax in SXM.

[@cashdinero0]

Yup. Even a A340 can do SXM to Paris :)

[@eulero75]

The B747 had to do a refuel stop in Guadeloupe because, in order to take off with a so short runway, it had to embark just a very little quantity of fuel. I guess the same happens to every long-haul aircraft like A330, A340 or B777. Maybe the Dreamliner B787 could do the direct route, but I don't know honestly.

[@cashdinero0]

@@eulero75 no A340 and A330 can fly direct from sxm to paris

@@cashdinero0 Wow!! Unbelievable :-O

[@timoswindowseat7045]

@@eulero75 No, the A340 was going back non-stop to Paris but the MD-11 and B747 did a refueling stop on one of the ABC islands. Now the A330 from AF goes back without stop to Paris, too

It seems to me that the plane for Dallas was 757 not 737. 3:37

Pretty interesting airframe.

[@DerHirni]

I always wonder, why do you get to travel so much? For work? Or just for fun?

[@doc7austin]

for tourism

[@timoswindowseat7045]

I was going with KLM back in the MD-11 via Bonaire. How is Saint Maarten now after it was hit by the hurricane? It is all build up again?

[@amazingperson9604]

I am not sure really, but I do believe most people survived, I have really not looked up the story, but it was a disaster

[@valerielobles7254]

1.55: 34 sq mi? You mean 87 sq km. Metric is global standard. Through using 'imperial', you're not being 'courteous' but sending the wrong signal. Same with 24 h clock vs am/pm. And of course, lbf would be N

[@carlmaster9690]

Yeah but imperial is much better!

[@michaellaudahn]

Sure. Keep using it for home purposes, but adapt to world standards in international settings. That's a reasonable formula, in contrast to your continued anglo-autistic folly. Especially if you don't learn foreign languages yourselves and depend on others for communication
