Lowest 737 Landing
You better watch your head as the planes come in at Skiathos Airport. (www.youtube.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Inches away from a 737 yard sale on the runway. That said, I would love to see this in person.
Hope this pilot's next job isn't a Cruise ship.
Per Mr. Mittal's post below, methinks that Captain needs a little more training.
" ... The runways at Skiathos are characterised as 'short and narrow' and, as such, airlines typically require their pilots to undergo additional training for operations there. Landings may only be performed by captains, so if a captain is taken ill on an inbound flight, then it must be diverted to an alternative airport (usually Volos/Nea Anchialos which is the closest facility to accept passenger flights). ......

Stop the vid at the right time and you can see how close the mains come to the perimeter fence.
Cool share, thx.

Wow! Less than the height of one wheel.
Must be a really short island runway. Guess you don't want to come in high and go off at the other end of the runway.

This is why I really wouldn't want to compare this to St. Maarten. For aircraft type, it's definitely a close comparison. As far as the landing, I'd compare this more to St. Barts than St. Maarten. That airport, plus this one really does have the potential to get your head taken off.
Dear friend Brad Littlejohn, may I supplement about St. Bart , just a 650m strip ?
