The Flight

NEW RELEASE!

Take a three-hour, in-depth look at the hundreds of people and the amazing technology needed to get a single commercial aircraft safely into the air, keep it aloft, and land it without incident at its destination. This film examines the staggering resources that go into a seven-hour commercial flight, with an aircraft traveling just under the speed of sound over the vast waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

Go behind the scenes on a typical flight between two of the world's busiest airports - Toronto's Pearson International and Frankfurt Airport - to gain insight into the many elements that ensure a safe journey. Marvel at the modern technology of an aircraft, which could, if necessary, fly itself to its destination, land, and even taxi to the boarding ramp without having a pilot so much as touch the controls.
