The Atlantic Bridge is a flight route from Gander, Newfoundland, Canada to Scotland, with a refueling stop in Iceland.During the Second World War, new bombers flew this route. This route is no longer used, due to the advent of modern jet airliners which can fly a direct route from Canada or the United States to Europe without the need for a fueling stop. This route is longer overall than the direct route and involves an extra landing and takeoff, which is costly in fuel terms.
