[quote=ROGERINCA ,25185]This shows the trans-Polar route from New York to Beijing, which the smart management team at China Southern Airlines pioneered for Chinese commercial aviation several years ago. This is from an aviation navigation web-site. [It was supposed to 'attach' to the previous post, but did not do so.]As you can see, the route is almost directly over the North Pole. This saves one to two hours of flying time, and many thousands of gallons of jet fuel, as well as reducing airframe and engine operation time. Further, the reduced fuel load, enables the airline to have the option to carry more passengers and/or cargo. Moreover, the atmosphere is very still over the artic, and this low wind factor not only improves fuel economy, but also makes for a very smooth flight to beautiful China !![/quote]
