Airports & Airlines Trivia Questions

1. Named after two of the world's most famous adventurers, and often cited as one of the world's most dangerous airports, which has a runway that ends in a sheer mountain face?

From Quiz
Where Pilots Dare: Tricky Airports Of The World

Answer: Tenzing-Hillary Airport, Nepal

Also known as Lukla Airport, it was named after Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing, the first men credited with reaching the summit of Mount Everest. The airport has a runway that extends to just 527 metres, so is suited only to helicopters and STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) aeroplanes. Situated at an elevation of 2,800 metres, that rock face at one end of the runway means there is no "go around". Only specially licensed pilots are permitted to land. You must have a record of 100 STOL missions and 10 landings on the airstrip under the supervision of an instructor. It is also listed as one of the world's most dangerous airports for crashes. The source for this question is airport-technology.com The three wrong answers were all made up by the quiz author.

2. The approach is dominated by the sight of two huge cranes at one of the most famous shipyards in the world, but after which genius football (soccer) player was Belfast City Airport renamed?

From Quiz Whose Airport Is It Anyway?

Answer: George Best

George Best Belfast City Airport is based at what was originally the runway for the Short Brothers airport factory. It was used as a naval base during World War Two and later opened to civilian flights as Belfast Harbour Airport. On approach, the airport is dominated by two giant cranes at the Harland and Wolff shipyard. The shipyard had a long history, but will always be associated with the construction of the ill-fated RMS Titanic. To put to bed one ill-founded rumour: it was not the shipyard that claimed the Titanic was "unsinkable". George Best was born in Belfast and had a stellar footballing career with several football clubs in Great Britain and an international career with Northern Ireland. Those who saw him play classed him as one of the best European footballers of all time. In the 21st Century, when top footballers in England commanded salaries of over £100,000 (US$131,000) a week (you read that right) it is impossible to imagine what Best would have earned in that climate. By the end of 2019, the airport was handling 2.5m passengers a year.

3. It became one of America's most iconic airlines. Which company used the callsign "Clipper" but disappeared after 64 years of global travel?

From Quiz Grounded: Defunct Airlines of the World

Answer: Pan American

Pan American World Airways - "Pan Am" - first flew in 1927 and ceased operations in 1991. For many of those years Pan Am was an innovator, graduating from flying boats serving routes from Florida to Latin America to leading the way in jet travel. Pan Am became the first to use the Boeing 747, but by the end of the 1970s things began to look less rosy. High fuels costs hampered their operations. The company also was not permitted to operate domestic routes, so that was a revenue stream lost. In 1988 the terrorist attack that brought down Pan Am Flight 103, "Clipper Maid Of The Seas", a 747, over Lockerbie, Scotland, resulted in a $300m lawsuit. Some rivals claimed that Pan Am was losing $3 million a day in 1991.

4. Looking at the contrails of an aircraft flying over my house, I was able to check its details on live flight radar and saw it was flight number DAL 162 from Minneapolis to Amsterdam. Who uses the DAL designation?

From Quiz Radar Love

Answer: Delta Airlines

The aircraft was an Airbus 330-322 and was flying at 39,000 feet, so although I waved, I doubt anybody on board saw it. That flight has a total 'great circle route' distance of 4,166 miles, with 523 left after passing over my hometown in Northern Ireland. Founded in 1924, Delta has its headquarters at Atlanta, Georgia.

5. Like many notable carriers, Pan Am began in the 1920s with a single route, linking a United States airport with one in which other American country?

From Quiz Pan Am - Icon of an Era

Answer: Cuba

While plans for Pan American Airways, as it was called at the time, called for a service to Panama in an attempt to keep a German-owned airline out of the region, it actually entered service with a mail and passenger flight from Key West in Florida to Havana in Cuba. The original company structure was rather convoluted, with several subsidiaries each holding one key asset for operation such as landing rights, and, of course an airplane. The first Pan Am aircraft was a seaplane and for its early years, the company would exclusively rely on this kind of craft to provide its services.

6. Qantas is an unusual spelling. Why is there no "u" in the name?

From Quiz Qantas: Australia's Flag-Carrying Airline

Answer: Qantas is an acronym

Qantas is an acronym for Queensland and Northern Territory Ariel Service. In Australia, there is a propensity to shorten names. The name quickly became Q.A.N.T.A.S. and soon after QANTAS. The company in time made the name "Qantas", one of the few words of English origin where there is a "Q" but no "u" following. Fergus McMaster, a grazier from Western Queensland met Paul McGinness when the former's car axle broke crossing the Cloncurry River. The two discussed the tyranny of distance and thought the future of travel in Australia was aviation. The two travelled to Sydney and ordered two Avro aeroplanes in the name of the Western Queensland Auto Aero Service. It was August 1920. The airline was soon started with its new name in November 1920 and by 1921, it had two planes: an Avro 504K and a Royal Aircraft Factory BE2E. . The company. They made ends meet by offering joy flights to willing passengers and by November 1921, they earned the contract for a scheduled airmail service between Charleville and Cloncurry. This was Australia's first scheduled air service. They moved their tiny office from Winton to the larger Charleville in central Queensland. (Eventually as the company got bigger, it moved to Brisbane then Sydney). Hudson Fysh, a WWII Australian Flying Corps decorated airman and pilot became manager in 1923 and oversaw the steady increase in size and workload of the fledgling airline.

7. Which UK airport was the first worldwide to have concourses and gates?

From Quiz Airports Around the World

Answer: Gatwick

Gatwick was the first true "international airport". It was the birthplace of concourses and gates which are now a staple at every international airport. Before Gatwick, terminal buildings were little more than shanties, and planes parked on the field, which got muddy when it rained. A.M Jackaman came up with the concept of a telescoping canopy which extended from the terminal out to each parked aircraft on the ramp. As Gatwick grew he built more, and the concept of a concourse and gates were born.

8. During Southwest Airlines' beginnings in the 1970s as "Air Southwest", it flew only within one Southern state. Which was it?

From Quiz You Are Now Free to Move About The Country

Answer: Texas

Southwest had its first flight in 1971; however, all of their routes were within Texas. The reasoning behind this was for economic and political reasons: the airline would be exempt by price controls from the federal Civil Aeronautics Board, and that the airline could maintain competitive pricing.

9. The year: 2010. The place: Bangkok International Airport, Thailand. A woman attempting to board a plane to Iran was found to be hiding the cub of which cat species in her suitcase?

From Quiz Crazy Things Found by Airport Security

Answer: Tiger

Customs became suspicious of the woman's extra-large suitcase and were shocked when they discovered, nestled among a pile of stuffed toys, a heavily-sedated two-month-old tiger cub. At first, the woman denied owning the bag, but later admitted she'd been planning to sell the cub as an exotic pet on the Iranian black market. Fortunately, the cub was sent to a wildlife park instead.

10. The flag carrier of the United Kingdom was actually composed of two airlines. One was responsible for flying overseas. The other was responsible for flying within Europe; both merged in 1972. What is the name of that airline now?

From Quiz Flying Your Flags Around the World

Answer: British Airways

British Airways was initially composed of the British Overseas Airways Corporation (for the overseas routes) and British European Airways (for the European routes). BEA was originally a BOAC subsidiary formed during WWII, then became an independent company. In 1974, they merged to form British Airways.

11. This US airport was rated the world's busiest every year from 2000 to 2014. Which peach of an airport is it?
