I flew with this airline when Thomas Cook went bust and we were repatriated to the UK. Actually a very decent airline, I certainly had no complaints😁

I truly enjoy your videos, they are great deal to watch. You are impartial and fair and don't make harsh criticism on airlines from poor countries. That speaks very well of you, compared to other video travelers that complaint for almost everything (even the weather). Best regards from México and be safe 😁✌🏻

Flew a EuroAtlantic 767 that was operated by Icelandair from Boston to Reykjavík. I was in business class and expected just the recliners that Icelandair typically has on their jets. I was pleasantly surprised to board the aircraft and see a fully lie flat seat. Upgrade was only about 200 dollars extra!

[@davefrommelbourne1237]

I liked that view on take off 👍

[@MadeiraAirport]

Really great trip report, happy that you liked to fly with Euroatlantic. Portugal have some nice wet-leasing companies like this one, hifly and white! Service looks good as always. I flu with euroatlantic just 2 times, both in TAP flights

I’d heard of them, but never knew they operated scheduled services, albeit just the one! Great vid

Congratulations for the channel, im new here, In Portugal there is a regional route operated by a company called Sevenair, which connects cascais near lisbon to viseu and bragança in the north of portugal,the airplane used is the dornier 228 is a different experience because it operates on small airfields, the dornier 228 with the registration cs-ayt has a bublle window allowing a spectacular view to the outside.

It does operate more routes than that one, even short haul flights to some European airports. Here at Faro airport we have some Euro Atlantic planes parked here, they fly from here too

Interesting that they have their own in-flight magazine! Ps that meal looked really rustic.

They mostly fill in for other airlines. They were regularly flying as Icelandair to Toronto during the summer and they fill in for LOT too sometimes. Really old machines.

Love the B767, the most reliable airliner ever, used to fly it for many years, even flew the new B787 Dreamliner, and no other airliner can beat the old, reliable, comfortable and safe ‘76. A no-issues airplane.

[@bobbypaluga4346]

I have never had an unpleasant flight on a 767, in my opinion the most bullet proof airliner ever. There is KZbin video of Qantas pilots delivering their 767’s to the Mojave boneyard when they were retired. I wasn’t too shocked to see tears on the faces of the ferrying pilots as well as a big send off in Sydney. They loved the 67

[@jubei_lol480]

Came to your video for the meal part lol

[@rauldavid4551]

Obrigado !!

[@alexian61]

:)

[@Bobrogers99]

Since most of their aircraft are used as fill-ins for others, they don't have to overexert themselves for comfort (like the tight seat pitch) or IFE (bring your own device). The meal, however, looked quite good (if also appearing a bit dry) for a 4-hour flight. I had the experience of flying in a JetBlue backup plane, and it wasn't particularly pleasant.

[@connectorxp]

I handled several flights of them in the name of TAP years ago, they offered all the amenities like food and beverages for free in C and Y class. It was a pain once when one of those aircrafts broke down and they sent a 340 hours late.

[@JoesTrainsAndPlanes]

Really, something so wierd! I have never seen a EuroAtlantic Airways in the air. I know I flew with it to Ibiza but I have never seen one in the sky!

Are these ACMI charter planes like insta-painted or something, not to confuse customers?

[@user-zr7ws2lp6q]

Usually they remain white or with the livery of the charter airline

[@AndreiTupolev]

they just charter them as an when they need extra capacity, they're often overall white with just the registration as a way of identifying them

[@s125ish]

AndreiTupolev why is that

[@AndreiTupolev]

@@s125ish Why is that? Well, they can spot hire them to any airline that needs extra capacity

Flew with them from Dalaman to Manchester when Thomas cook went bust ,no issue with them,just a big bouncy landing at Manchester and a skid to stop.

[@alfonsosalcedo8331]

EuroAtlantic Airways, also operates the route Lisbon-Caracas covering TAP

[@BIMMERKID2]

They are mostly a wetleasing operation

[@jjlasne]

I think the aircraft is former Corsair. The logo on the tail looks like it.

[@littlejohnuk]

Thanks for teaching me about ACMI. Slightly confused though. Isn't this really a scheduled flight as it regularly goes one the same day a week as a commercial opportunity to fill in for TAP? Also when I flew from Muscat to Abu Dhabi with Etihad we went on Air Serbia before connecting to Etihad. I know Etihad owns Air Serbia what is that arrangement called?

[@yohanmaduranga1]

Connecting flights between different airlines are called codeshare flights. I think you're been on codeshare flight

[@COA764]

I flew on this exact aircraft two months after you did on an Oslo-Paris flight operated for Norwegian! I agree that the legroom was absolutely terrible-probably among the worst I’ve ever experienced. 2 hours was my absolute limit, and I can’t understand how TAP uses this config on 8+ hour flights to Caracas. It must be unbearable!

[@childs4sale336]

Thaks for sharing!

[@fscarvalho55]

Destinations The former euroAtlantic Lockheed L-1011 still wearing Air Zarco livery EuroAtlantic Airways operates worldwide charter services as well as ACMI and other wet lease operations, mostly on behalf of other airlines. For example, EuroAtlantic operated two Boeing 777s on behalf of Biman Bangladesh Airlines in 2009[5] and two Boeing 767s for Air Canada in 2014.[6] Among their usual customers are airlines like TAP Air Portugal, LOT Polish Airlines, FlyNAS (for Hajj flights), TACV Cabo Verde Airlines, TUIFly, etc. EuroAtlantic Airways also operates a single scheduled route between Lisbon and Bissau on its own behalf.[7]
