An informative and insightful article from the Flight Radar 24 team on the current transatlantic jet streams and their impact on flying times, which highlights the importance of understanding the dynamics of the jet stream and the various factors that can affect flight times and efficiency. It also emphasises the need for airlines and airports to balance speed with other considerations, such as the Target Time of Arrival (TTA) process used by hub airports like Heathrow. I can particularly relate to the need for airlines and airports to balance speed with other considerations, such as safety, fuel efficiency, and passenger comfort. I for one am no fan of short overnight flights where I would much rather enjoy some quality sleep over getting to the airport early. By leveraging data and analytics, airlines and airports can optimise their operations and provide a better experience for passengers while maintaining the highest standards of safety and efficiency. https://lnkd.in/ew5FJgMf

Thanks for the info! Appreciate the insight on how the jet stream impacts flight times and ground speed. Faster flights sound great, but overnight journeys have their trade-offs. Interesting read!

7moGreat read! All well and good chopping 20 mins off your journey time but if you can't land any earlier...
