"There are no large airlines restricted from airspace" Iran air in USA El al in Iran

[@Terrekain]

Yeah, this video is very misleading. For one thing, it is misleading to identify the ICAO as some kind of authority on international flight. I understand he doesn't say it's the source of legality, but that's why it's misleading....the ICAO doesn't authorize or enforce whether an airline can land or take-off from a particular country or locale....the sovereign country or locale does. Woe to any pilot or Airline operator who thinks otherwise, we all operate in the real world; the "Ground control" is King, not the "international" bureaucrat sitting in some office which actually has no jurisdiction and who nobody listens to. These are not "Laws", and identifying them as "Freedoms" makes it seem like it has some hardened legal prerogative that everyone in the world must follow - nothing is further from the truth and real pilots know that.. Real pilots know better than to take these "5 Freedoms" as laws...they're more like guidelines; customs. Yes, you can "expect" and plan around these generally-accepted guidelines, which is important in any industry including the Airline industry. But it is a real danger to just ASSUME that you are ENTITLED to these "Freedoms"?....YOU ARE NOT. At any time, everyone from a local Flight operator or ground controller to the President of the United States can countermand ICAO - ICAO messages and advisories (that's all they are) might be part of someone's pre-flight checklist, but not everyone's and their authority is "Nil" if your airboss says it is. This is for practical reasons...centrally controlling the airline industry is madness. On 9-11, for example, the Chief of operations at the FAA made the call to ground flights everywhere in the US and its airspace. The US Military also made airspace restricted in foreign countries - and those countries such as Germany or Japan had no practical say in the matter. American Aircraft carrier battle groups - who usually let airlines within a few hundred miles of their airspace control in peacetime - extended that restricted zone to near a thousand and redirected airlines and vessels on different courses. ICAO neither had the relevant information to act timely, and had no authority to countermand any of this- effectively, every flight in the world regarding the United States airspace around the World was grounded or re-directed. If there's one person who can order edicts as to how and where international Airlines can operate around the World, it isn't the Secretary-General of ICAO.....it''s the President of the United States.

His point is that your statement is obviously true. You're allowed to kill anyone unless you're not allowed. You're allowed to eat and drink and smoke anything, unless you're not allowed. You're listing two mutually exclusive opposites, so of course the statement is true. There's no information in your sentence.

[@antivorg1239]

ckannan90 OK i understand where you guys are confused. I'm aware that I made a non-statement, that was intentional as i was being ironic. The point i was making was that this complex system of rules is basically an over complicated way of saying ^.

[@m1leswilliams]

Well. It depends on the situations. They are able to travel above inactive volcanos. Until it became active volcanos.

You wouldn't get fined but Airlines choose not to because of political problems.

they are technically allowed but with the economic sanctions , most airlines just avoid that area altogether unless it's china-registered airlines. Plus it's more efficient if the flights to the US goes over RU or SK.

[@WorldView14]

No. For example, from the US' regulations - SFAR 79 to Part 91: "Prohibition against certain flights within the Flight Information Region of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea 1. Applicability. This rule applied to the following persons: (a) All U.S. air carriers or commercial operators..." Short answer, no commercial ops are allowed over NK by a US airline, anybody with a US issued pilot's licence, or anybody using a US registered (N- reg) aircraft. I'm sure EASA and such have similar regulations.

[@flyingwolff4774]

Couple of things: 1. The 'overfly fees' are actually called navigation charges. The most expensive navigation charges in the world are: Switserland, Canada and singapore. 2. Freedom 1 and 2 are granted with each other. 3. The 2nd and 5th freedom NEVER are granted together, the 2nd freedom is granted to every country as it involves safety reasons. The 5th freedom is granted only after long negotiations between two countries. 4. The 7,8 and 9th freedoms never come together either. Taking the open skies agreement between the US and the EU contains the 7th and 8th freedom but not the ninth. This make european airlines unable to fly on the very important Domestic market in the US but does allow US airlines the right to fly from any US city to any EU country and then flying 'domestic' within europe for instance: JFK-LHR-FRA and back again. The ICAO doesn't have much to do with these freedoms though as they don't make laws. The ICAO only makes suggestions to the FAA (federal aviation administration) in the US and the EASA (european aviation safety association) in the EU. They make the laws then the counries themselves need to play the role of law enforcement.

[@krizzzyyyt]

5. Norway is and always has been part of the European Common Aviation Area, but does not however as stated in the video after; Norway does indeed not enjoy the freedoms of agreements the EU has made with foreign countries such as the US etc, unless included as part of the ECAA / EMAA etc.

btw. Norwegian airlines are located in Sweden more for the reason that Stockholm is the largest city in the Nordic nations - 3x larger than Oslo. it has nothing to do with being located inside the EU. but other than that, on point.

ALL HAIL SWEDEN

[@hesseldekraai]

why is norway such a difficult country? They arent part of the eu but almost always when the eu does something norway wants to be a part of it but whenever someone implies that norway is part of the eu the comment section will just be filled with people telling that norway is not part of the eu. Even though they act as an eu member at almost all times

[@HuntingTarg]

@@hesseldekraai Because they want the 'opt-out' power that Britain and possibly Germany want back. [Afterword: If Britain successfully withdraws, with or without EU consent, if Germany or any other two semi-solvent countries withdraw, the EU will collapse due to fiscal distress.]

[@Bidmartinlo]

@@hesseldekraai Imagine a wall all around Norway. Imagine that wall being the EU. That's why we're unofficially part of the EU. We need them to trade our resources and they need our resources.

[@Corina_experiments]

I really love your videos! :) I'm curious - what made you curious about the airline industry? How do you pick your topics? You bring a lot of insights to all sorts of questions I always had! :)

[@breadtoast8166]

I’m impressed by the amount of research that must have gone into it.

[@rosiemeade7612]

[@peterbrungardt5434]

Do a sequel based on what could (theoretically) happen as a consequence of the Ryanair 4987 incident.

[@mirzaahmed6589]

Go fourth and multiply.

[@HuntingTarg]

@@mirzaahmed6589 No, it's 'be fruitful and multiply'; 'Go forth and conquer!'

[@Likeusb1]

Yes. It is forth not fourth

I've been on 2 5th-freedom flights: Air France from Singapore to Jakarta, and KLM from Jakarta to Kuala Lumpur v.v. Currently KLM still serves the route while Air France had terminated its Jakarta-route in 2016 And the KLM Jakarta-Kuala Lumpur flight is the cheapest option to fly from Jakarta with wide-body jets Also the only European carrier still flying to/from Jakarta regularly

Charles Lindbergh helped choose the site of Shannon Airport. He was a consultant to the Irish government. The world’s first Duty Free was at Shannon Airport.

[@finn7345]

7:48 It’s meant to say fourth.

[@maxlasthero1673]

thank your the video is very informative

[@patricklastname5646]

So informative and interesting, thank you for this video.

[@doncarlin9081]

I remember in the early 1970s, we would actually stop in the Azores for refueling. And just recently I flew on a domestic flight in Cambodia that was Vietnam Airlines.

[@TonyP9279]

In the U.S., Class A airspace ends at 60,000 feet. So technically, if you had a plane that flew higher, I should be able to fly over without a fly-over fee since you're out of ATC's control.

[@mfbj1]

I absolutely love The aviation videos.
