Tripreport Atlas Air 767 Charter Flight Norfolk to Rota Spain

[@travelwithdean7225]

This is the 767 N640GT, it was used by Air Madagascar as 5R-MFF, i used to take it when i was a teenager back in the 2000s ! Nothing really changed inside the plane ! Your video brings good memories ! Btw, nice flight report !

[@TripReportaviation]

I have only seen Atlas Air cargo planes, I thought they're a cargo airline. A very interesting video!

[@themcairplane]

Thank you! They not only charter routes like this, but also have 747-8 passenger planes for NFL sports teams. Maybe one day I will be able to go on that. I am scheduled on another one of these flights in the summer, if it looks different I'll make another trip report.

[@batowl_6983]

Ive done this route so many times cause i live in Spain and when i travel to the states i always go to Norfolk

[@typhoontom]

Good video and nice narration. They are now called "Patriot Express" and they still exist. Most are operated by Omni Air International. Seattle to Japan and Korea and Baltimore to Ramstein AB, Germany. Unfortunately many have been eliminated. Keep up the good work.

[@gordo1163]

Can you do more of these millitary charter trip reports? Super interesting to see what it's like on these flights

[@themcairplane]

I will try. I don't go on them very often, but when I do, i'll for sure upload a video on it.

Great flight review. Agree, plane is old, but a sturdy workhorse. Can't beat that.

Nice report mate, awesome job!!! I LOVE Atlas air, best freighter company and charter in the World with a UPS, DHL, Lufthansa Cargo and FEDEX

[@walterfrey7105]

And onward to Sigonellla, Bahrain and Djibouti……

Hey Robert, I was just about to say the same thing

[@robertwinkler1252]

Hey James:) good to hear from you. Hope your doing well.

[@futbolero10]

Hi Robert...I m thinking of applying in the near future..how was your experience over all? Is it a company where most flight attendants stay long term (lifers)?How were your overnights? Thanks..

[@JOEM747]

My ride on the 767 in August started with us on departure and the pilot saying "we called for flaps way too early there." lol

[@GummysauceYT]

The landing is RYANAIR_V2/10

Was the flight direct? It seems really long Edit: oh I thought it was Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands lol

Love the new at the plane of this airline what thoughnj

[@genten777]

Thank you for a wonderful and concise description of your flight experience to Rota. I had heard of OMNI Charter Airlines but not of Atlas, had always thought of Atlas as a freight forwarding airlines only. I would like to know what exactly does a charter airline really means??? could anyone have purchased a ticket in the U.S. to fly this Atlas flight to Rota Spain or did you have to belong to a group of people flying to Spain? Also, since Atlas Air did not provide you entertainment amenities like other major airlines do ie Delta, does that mean it is cheaper to fly Atlas Air to get to places? Does Atlas Air fly international only or does it have domestic flights as well?

[@themcairplane]

Thanks! A charter flight is a flight that is not part of an airline's published schedule and is not availible for the general public. In this case, Atlas air only does charter flighta on its passenger side of operations so there is no way to get on one of these unless you are part of a pro sports team going on the road, your company uses these flights for buisness travel, or you are from the millitary or part of a millitary family in which case you can get on these to go from one base to another (which is the case for this video).

[@themcairplane]

As far as the price, since the whole flight is bought/chartered by another entity, one would be invited on these dlights so it would actually be free for the flyer.

[@brownbear1657]

I take it this was a military charter. Are you personnel or family?

[@themcairplane]

family

[@brownbear1657]

[@themcairplane]

@@brownbear1657 yea it has been a heck of an experience. I was in NAS Sigonella and Rota. Now I'm in college so I'm back home.

[@leaderaviation]

It's not a cargo?

[@themcairplane]

No. Atlas air also does charter flights

[@giovannigamer5154]

When I went on a atlas air 767 they had IFE

[@themcairplane]

They do, but not on the back of every seat, only a seat popping out of the ceiling for every twenty or so people.

[@caralhoguy]

Why were u in a military charter flight

[@themcairplane]

Why not

[@jafl1971]

There's no internet?

[@themcairplane]

No, the planes they operate are rather old.

[@MichelleLewis-en5rq]

Is atlas air charter

[@therago-xm7lg]

So looking at the comments it seems your a military brat. And I’m guessing the reason they switched the movie is because most of the kids would be sleeping so they put an adult movie for the adults. But great video don’t see charter airline reviews

How do you get on one of these flights?

Be affiliated with the armed forces

whats a charter flight

[@themcairplane]

It is not available to the general public

[@whiteazn2]

Atlas air is garbage

[@lakewoodil]

I assume that this was out of NAS Norfolk, not Norfolk International Airport. As I recall ORF lacks an adequate length rnwy for this type operation, PHF does.

[@themcairplane]

Correct, this was out of NAS Norfolk and was a military chartered plane.
