Shalom and greetings all my pals,
Presenting a special Christmas charter flight from ENBR Bergen Airport located at Flesland in Bergen, Norway to EKVG Vágar Airport located 1 mile east of the village of Sørvágur on the island of Vágar bringing workers from Bergen back home to Faroe Islands for Christmas with their families
Passengers boarding this special Christmas charter flight using 737-800SFP with special Christmas livery
Festival Christmas lights have been installed exclusively for special holiday occasion
look at some plane with call sign UKV5097 making final runway approach to runway 17 (you can spot the plane above SAS plane tail
Jetway started to disconnecting and closing its doors
You can see that the jetway is now completely disconnected
Calling the airport control tower requesting for IRF clearance to EKVG
IRF and pushback clearances had been granted and now commencing the pushback
Do not know why the UKV plane aborted the landing and climbed to 6,000ft while the holiday plane was in middle of pushback
Nice tail and sunrise
Finished with pushback
Turning off Christmas lights and starting engines which resulted into cool engine start smokes
Now taxiing to short of runway 17

Holding short of runway 17 awaiting for take off clearance from the airport control tower
Take off clearance granted and now started to enter into runway for take off
Despite being extremely heavily loaded with Christmas gifts, necessity supplies, and food brought abroad by passengers due to the fact it was cheaper to shop in Bergan than it was in Faroe Islands, the plane managed to have powerful take off utilizing its SFP feature and commenced climb to fl340
