Good afternoon, I’m here sitting and reminiscing while going through all my travel photos, I saw some photos of myself on EgyptAir from Cairo to Athens on July 30th, 2019, I was the only passenger at the economy back seats with a Chinese girl at the front.
Why was the flight not cancalled?
Though some aircraft has been reported carrying a single passenger on a flight before.
I read that flight with just one passenger may still fly because the airline needs that aircraft at the next leg.
The aircraft may still be making money by carrying cargo that is contracted for delivery
Scheduled and the aircraft is traveling a final series of routes on its way to the facility. It can still earn some revenue hauling passengers & cargo as it gets closer to that facility.
A flight is about moving four things:
An aeroplane
A flight crew
Cargo (often filling up the hold)
Passengers
Below is a photo of the aircraft, 747 I was flown on.
