      warum bitte stehen in der Grafik, ab Minute 3:00, die von hinten durchscheinenden Kontinente Nord- und Südamerika auf dem Kopf. So wie wir die Erdrotation verstehen, bleibt die Ausrichtung der Kontinente nach Norden und Süden immer gleich, egal ob man sich nun auf der Tag- oder Nachtseite befindet. Very Strange!

    ah yes, this explains why it took me over 40 hours to get from Chile to Thailand. +bonus: on the last leg of the flight from Sao Pablo to Santiago, there was some type of storm or volcanic eruption (?) and we had to fly down to Buenos Aires and then over the Andes to Santiago, which added like 4 to 5 hours to our flight time (and a lot of turbulences). I never felt so sick and done with my life after that flight.

    Some decades ago there was a direct South Polar flight from South America to Australia (and back) and then to other countries in Asia. After that, during the nineties and 2000’s Malaysia Airlines was the only regional airlines flying directly from Kuala Lumpur to Buenos Aires (and back) with 2 stopovers in Johannesburg and Cape Town. I guess costs was an issue and after operating with 747’s very successfully, those flights stoped.

    There's one more important commercial reason. It's a lot more risk to expect long and expensive flights to be fully booked and meet the revenue goals. This is why even shorter distances like Europe to SE Asia have a change in one of the major hubs - people who fly one leg disperse to various other routes for their second leg. Everyone pretty much meets in one place to take second plane to the final destination. Anyone who had a change in airports like Vienna, Paris, Frankfurt, Istanbul (I'm in Europe, but I'm sure your continent has equivalents), could get a feeling that airport is very very busy... and then 2-4h later it's a ghost town.
    This type of transport problem has a name - spoke-hub distribution paradigm. Any flights that can't be incorporated into existing hub model are more risk to manage, they are outside of the existing flights network (within a certain airline) and any revenue mitigation for seasonality or popularity of the destination is just difficult.

There are multiple flights to Brazil from countries in the Middle East, which is of course also part of Asia, but that isn’t the region I’m focusing this video on.

    Just a side note: technichally feasible? Yes, it is. But it's probably way too expensive to be profitable, so airline companies wouldn't be interested in buying an aircraft that flies extra 3,000 miles (which is good for one route only), and spend tons more in fuel and on the cost of the aircraft itself. So no manufacturer will ever spend time developing an airplane for this narrow specific market. Unless there's a breakthrough on fuel consumption/weight technology, or some weird billionaire decides to fly from South America to Asia every week and is willing to pay for that.

      So if it's not economic to fly non- stop from a market of thousands of millions to a market of hundreds of millions from one side of the Pacific to another then why is it that several airlines including Air New Zealand fly multiple routes every day from New Zealand (5 million People) to North America non stop across the whole Pacific and even further to Houston, Chicago and now New York, apart from Los Angeles, San Francisco and Vancouver. Even more airlines, including Qantas fly even more routes daily to North America across the Pacific from Australia (25 million people). It's not about distance it's about connections between closely associated nations.
      Having said that there are also non-stop flights between Australia and New Zealand and South America across the Pacific including those that skirt Antarctica.

      It's not technically feasible from safety perspective. Most airliners that have ETOPS certification couldn't even reach safely reach their furthest destination without hopping hub to hub. Not to mention during 1 engine failure when crossing the ocean that would be a nightmare. And not all airlines have A380 and long range 777s/A350s. And most of these Asian market don't have south American destinations as a main market in mind due to their hostile region label and demand. As an Asian I don't wanna go to South America. It's too dangerous.

      While the Market isn't quite there yet atm for east asia to south America, the planes needed for other similarly distanced routes are. Thus they are being made. It's just whether anyone else besides Qantas will buy them.
      I could potentially see JAL or ANA considering it and running between Tokyo and Brasil given the largest expat Japanese population is in Brazil.

    Large dirigibles (zeppelins) could be a solution for those that would rather have a more comfortable air travel, but without caring for the time it would take, better consider it as an air cruiser as opposed to a sea cruiser. Nowadays they don't use hydrogen anymore so they are safe, but their speed is much lower than a regular airplane, they cannot fly as high as an airplane, so they cannot avoid storms as well as an airplane that can fly above them. It is a kind of vehicle with so much potential, I'm hoping to see its full blown comeback sometime in the future.
