USA: flight lasts just seven minutes and is 14 km away – 01/27/2024 – Market

A Boeing 757-200 (registration N963CA) from the airline National Airlines made a curious flight on January 18, when it took off from Fort Bliss to El Paso International Airport, both locations in the same city in south Texas. Between takeoff and landing it was just seven minutes. The distance between the two points is approximately 14.4 kilometers.

The change of airport can be justified by the fact that the airport of origin is, in fact, a United States Army air base, and National Airlines is a company known for operating cargo and passenger flights under charter contracts, in especially with the United States government.

Eventually, the aircraft landed some cargo at the military airfield before being repositioned to the civil airport in the south Texas city of El Paso, located just a mile away.

The National Airlines aircraft that made this flight has registration number N963CA and is a Boeing 757-200 model, being one of the company’s few aircraft dedicated to passenger transport.
