[ Hanya 47 Detik ] Rute Pesawat Terbang Tercepat di Dunia
KOMPAS.com - Rute penerbangan ini bahkan lebih cepat daripada waktu yang dihabiskan untuk membuat berondong jagung. Anda bisa melihatnya sendiri di video yang tercantum di bawah.

Rute penerbangan tercepat di dunia menghubungkan Westray dengan Papa Westray di Skotlandia, Inggris, dengan jarak 2,83 kilometer dan waktu tempuh 47 detik.
Rute pesawat terbang komersil tercepat di dunia tersebut menghubungkan antara Pulau Westray dengan Pulau Papa Westray di Kepulauan Orkney yang berada di Skotlandia, Inggris. Menurut Telegraph, pesawat tersebut hanya perlu waktu 47 detik mengudara dari satu titik ke titik lainnya.
Sementara itu, menurut Daily Mail, Loganair, maskapai asal Skotlandia, berhasil memenangkan bidding kontrak mengenai operator yang akan menjalankan rute tersebut. Sejak tahun 2011, Loganair yang telah beroperasi sejak tahun 1960-an, mulai memperkenalkan penerbangan populer untuk turis.
Pulau Westray, di Skotlandia, Inggris, sejak lama sudah menjadi daerah tujuan wisata yang menawarkan panorama cantik dan wisata sejarah.
Dalam video, waktu yang diperlukan sekitar 2 menit 30 detik bagi pesawat mulai dari lepas landas dari Bandara Westray sampai mendarat di Bandara Papa Westray. Jaraknya yang ditempuh pesawat sekitar 2,83 kilometer melewati semacam selat. Kedua pulau ini memang sejak lama menjadi daerah tujuan wisata.

Children living on a remote Scottish island are to hitch a lift to school on what is said to be the world's shortest flight, it was announced today.
The plane journey from Papa Westray to Westray in the Orkney Islands takes just 96 seconds, covering a distance of little over a mile.
Six teenagers are to take the Loganair service to Westray Junior High after the local ferry service was suspended.
Holly Crocker, Leanne Cursiter, Solan and Cassia Dodman, Shane Hourston and Rowan Pierce, all aged 13-14, will be flown to and from school until the end of the year when the ferry is scheduled to return following refurbishment.
Papa Westray has a population of just 70 and no secondary school. Westray, home to more than 600 residents, has around 70 pupils enrolled at the Junior High and nine full-time teachers.
The school provides education to Standard Grade level but pupils choosing to study for their Highers must travel to the Orkney capital Kirkwall.
The students will fly to Westray each Tuesday and stay with host families for two nights before catching a return flight on the Thursday.
Loganair, who operate the eight-seater service, has changed its schedule to ensure the children get to school on time.
The company says the flight, with an average flight time of 96 seconds, is the shortest in the world.
With favourable tail winds, the journey can take as little as 47 seconds.
Commercial director Jonathan Hinkles said: 'While it is a popular tourist route for many visitors to Scotland, it's also a vital lifeline to those residents who live, work or do business in the Orkneys and it will make all the difference to ensuring those children who live on Papa Westray can continue their schooling throughout winter.'
Willie McEwen, acting head teacher at Westray Junior High, said: 'We're delighted that Loganair has come forward with this solution.
'Our children will enjoy the flying especially as, at this time of the year, it can be quite rough on the boat.
'This kind of flexibility and adaptability is an essential part of island life and the youngsters take it all in their stride.'
Guinness World Records said it did not recognise the world's shortest scheduled domestic flight.
'The category is currently under research', a spokesman said.
