An executive of Etihad Airways has started to fly around the globe today, January 21, with the goal of going to four destinations with the shortest time frame possible.
The airline’s vice president for fleet planning, Andrew Fisher, flew from Shanghai today to Auckland, Buenos Aires, Amsterdam, and then back to China.
Just today, Fisher already posted a photo of him in Shanghai.

And few hours ago, he updated in a Tweet that he’s already in Auckland and is already set to fly to Buenos Aires.

Despite doing good so far, Fisher stated that it was not easy to plan the journey. The planning has taken a long time to ensure the flight timings and routes, and the transits are also kept as tight as possible, reported Khaleej Times.
The self-proclaimed ‘aviation geek’ is looking forward to save three hours from the current record of 55-hour-journey in four widely apart destinations.
