From the video

Answers: Why are there no direct flights between Asia and South America?

• transcontinental flights
• aviation geography
• aircraft range limitations
• airline route planning

What it concludes

• There are no direct commercial flights between Asia and South America because the two regions are geographically antipodes and furthest apart on Earth.
• Aircraft technology does not currently support flying the extreme distance between Asia and South America without refueling.
• A hypothetical direct flight between Beijing and São Paulo would face prohibitive costs due to distance and the need for refueling or flying through expensive Russian airspace.
