Šta kažete ljudima koji se plaše letenja? – Uvek ih prvo pitam zašto se plaše, a potom im objasnim da nema razloga za strah. Avion je jedno od najbezbednijih sredstava za prevoz putnika i letenje donosi mnogo uzbuđenja i oduševljenja. Zato je moja preporuka da se putnici raduju tom lepom doživljaju. Šta vas najviše uzbuđuje prilikom upravljanja avionom? – Letim dugo, još od 1982. godine. I na početku karijere, a i sad, po- sle toliko godina bavljenja ovim poslom najviše me uzbuđuje sama mo- gućnost upravljanja avionom, mašinom koja je teška više od 70 tona. To je veliki izazov za čoveka, ali i lep osećaj. Povratku kojem aerodromu i pisti se uvek najviše radujete? – Najviše se radujem Beogradu, što zbog povratka kući, što zbog zasluženog odmora posle leta. Drugi razlog je to što sam kući doveo i putnike, koji su jedva čekali povratak u svoju zemlju, što je čest slučaj sad tokom leta, kad naši ljudi iz inostranstva dolaze na odmor u Srbiju.

O
What do you say to people who are scared of flying? - I always first ask them why they’re afraid, after which I explain to them that there’s no reason for fear. Aeroplanes are among the safest forms of transport for passengers and flying brings plenty of thrills and excitement. That’s why I recom- mend that passengers enjoy this beautiful experience. What thrills you the most when it comes to handling a plane? - I’ve been flying for a long time, since 1982. Both at the beginning of my ca- reer and now, after many years doing this job, I’m most excited by the possibility of managing an aeroplane, a machine that weighs in excess of 70 tonnes. That’s a great challenge for a human, but also a nice feeling. Which airport and runway do you enjoy approaching the most? - I most enjoy Belgrade, both due to it being a return home and due to the well-deserved rest after a flight. Another reason is that I’ve also brought home passengers who could hardly wait to return to their own country, which is a common case now during summer, when our people living abroad come on holiday to Serbia.
Prva je njihova isplativost, a druga udobnost putnika. Etiha - dov let Abu Dabi – Los Anđeles nalazi se na listi najdužih le- tova, na mestu broj devet.

The first trap is that of the pro- fitability of such flights, while the other is passenger com- fort. Etihad’s Abu Dhabi-Los Angeles flight is included on the list of the longest flights, ranked ninth. The longest regu- lar flight in the world at present is Qatar Airways’ Doha-Auc- kland route, covering a distance of 14,536 kilometres. A part from the fact that long-haul flights are very challenging in a technical and operational sense, they also represent a double trap for commercial
