Non-Stop Flights Stop for Fuel

Written by Pat's Papers | Wednesday, 11 January 2012 8:15 AM

A crazy weather story in the Wall Street Journal this morning: Headwinds from Europe to the US averaged 47 knots last month. They’re usually 30. That meant some flights on planes that are barely big enough for Trans-Atlantic flight had to make stops in Newfoundland for fuel. As the headline says, “they’re non-stop flights that stop.” The focus of the story is on United/Continental use of the Boeing 757, which is near the limit of its range on many of its Europe to US flights.
