Boeing 747 Landing on Caribbean Beachside Runway
  • 8 years ago

This video shows a Boeing 747 landing in the Dutch Caribbean island of Sint Maarten. Taken from a popular viewing spot, Maho beach, the site is a regular tourist attraction as the beach backs directly on to the runway. Dutch airline KLM, who run the flight, have announced that they will be phasing out the 747 in favor of the Airbus A330, which will allow for direct flights to Amsterdam, instead of the layover in Curacao that the 747 took.
