It was filmed in 18 countries across all 7 continents and it is without a doubt the most impressive aviation documentary put together.

Aviation: The Invisible Highway is due for release next year and the first trailer has just been released (see below).

Flying has been a fantasy for thousands of years and then in just one century the science fiction has become a reality.

And that reality binds the world together in a way that few comprehend.

Every day 100,000 flights operated by 1,397 airlines carry over 8.5 million people across a mountain or across the globe.

There are 49,871 air routes across the world and there are 25,332 commercial aircraft in service.

More than that aviation is the super highway of commerce carrying 49.2 million tonnes of freight valued at $6.4 trillion, which is 35 per cent of world trade by value.

AirlineRatings will bring you more trailers as they are released as well as the film's opening date.
