The program follows the aircraft across a carefully structured route:
- Departure from Paris
- Flight to Réunion Island
- A round-trip to Dzaoudzi, Mayotte, where the crew operates at one of the most operationally unique airports in the region, including the use of the shortest runway regularly served by an A330
- A round-trip to Antananarivo, Madagascar, crossing the Indian Ocean
- Final return flight to Paris
The Madagascar sector stands out as a highlight of the series, demonstrating the A330-900neo’s efficiency and range over open-water operations. The Indian Ocean crossing offers both technical interest and breathtaking geography, making it a standout segment in the production.
