When flying to these remote islands I imagine you'd have to carry full fuel as your alternative would be hundreds of miles away, possibly a thousand? St Helena, and Easter Island in the Pacific come to mind for instance. Any comments?
We have a video here regarding the airport 🇸🇭DANGEROUS Airport in the MIDDLE of the Atlantic Ocean ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rbPq-2CouO4.html I believe they likely have fuel to reach Ascension Island however they try very much not to divert there instead they decide en route to turn back to African mainland if they think they can’t land. Happens occasionally (this week for example they turned back to JNB having left Walvisbay to St Helena). St Helena is more complicated than Easter Island (which is a big airport with good landing facilities and more stable weather). Also Easter Island can receive Heavy aircrafts such as B787
