The “invisible highways” of the Atlantic
Transatlantic flights don’t fly randomly over the ocean. There are organized routes called NAT Tracks, a kind of invisible air highway that changes daily depending on the weather and winds.
Every night, dozens of aircraft enter these routes in a coordinated manner to cross the Atlantic efficiently and safely.
It is a true international air choreography where airlines from all over the world participate using aircraft such as the Boeing 787, Boeing 777, Airbus A330 or Airbus A350.
Europe needs those early morning arrivals
Major European airports love receiving
early morning flights because it feeds thousands of continental connections.
A passenger arriving from Chicago, Toronto, or Washington can quickly connect to cities like Barcelona, Rome, Istanbul, or even destinations in Africa and the Middle East.
