This week i am circumnavigating the earth for the second time within a month.
At the moment the demand to fly goods from Europe and Asia into the USA is still stronger than the traffic from Asia to Europe and thats why we, like many other companies, circumnavigate the earth eastbound. The demand from the USA to Europe is still stronger than vice versa and therfore it starts to make sense that we fly eastbound, but also that the US has a strong intrest in getting rid of custom fees and alike in Europe, hence pushing for the TTIP to sell their goods.
This is also why at first glance TTIP seems to lower prices for the customer in Europe, but at the long run it will further damage the economy in Europe, strenghten the US economy and Europe will be the big looser in the long run.
The demand for goods to be delivered as fast as possible after ordering pushes for more and more air transport and that's why we fly everything from tabletts to underwear and on the way across the Pazific ocean we have to stop for fuel and new rested crews in Alaska, at the moment Anchorage is the favorite for us, while years ago it was Fairbanks.
There the 747s of all different companies line up for fuelling and the crews tumble through the city on their zombie walk to the rest.
Now that the temperatures are getting warmer and the sun stronger it is easy to catch a nice view of the Jumbos coming and leaving and a lot of excellent aircraft spotter pictures are taken here.
here is my contribution of this weeks looks....
