You may have noticed that plane paths tend to avoid going over the Pacific Ocean. This may seem like a safety issue.
After all, the Pacific is the largest and deepest of the world's oceans. If a plane encounters a problem over it, the pilots will have a rough time finding a place to land.
So if you guessed security, well you're not entirely wrong. When planning a route many pilots prefer to maximize the number of airports on it as a security measure.
However, it isn't the main reason why planes avoid the Pacific Ocean. The real main reason has to do with saving fuel and time.
After all, airplanes are a business and businesses depend on profitability. How does this reason work? Well, we won't tell you that as BRIGHT SIDE does a great job of explaining it in this video.
Make sure to watch it and learn the real main reason airlines avoid the Pacific Ocean.
