757 vs People at Skiathos- INCREDIBLY Powerful JETBLAST -Low Landings & Takeoffs- Second St Maarten

During the busy summer season the 757 is a regular visitor to Skiathos with British holiday Airline TUI UK operating numerous weekly flights from multiple UK destinations. The biggest aircraft Skiathos can handle, the 757 is an impressive sight and attracts many tourists and locals to see the aircraft land and depart. On busy days, TUI can have up to 3 757 flights a day.

Known as the second St Maarten and made famous for low landings and incredible jetblasts, theres no other aircraft which better gives the airport this title. With an incredible 43,00 ibf of thrust, on takeoff the 757 creates incredible jetblasts, often with many onlooking tourists unexpectantly falling victim to the powerful spool up. As such in this video as the pilot holds the aircraft on the brakes as he spools u, blasting many tourists with dust and debris as the jetblast sends many people running for cover. This is what gives Skiathos is title as the second St Maarten and an 'extreme' airport. Feeling the jetblast from a 757 just feet away is truly amazing.

As you can see from the footage, although we were stood a good way back from the 757 the jetblast was incredibly powerful, shaking the camera around and nearly sending us flying as we battled to stand up straight and hold onto the camera.
