Flight 714 to Sydney

Tintin with Milou, Captain Haddock and Professor Tornasol are flying on flight 714 from London to Sydney for the International Astronautics Congress, where they, as the first conquerors of the Moon, are invited as honorary guests. At Jakarta Airport during the last stopover, they meet the famous aircraft designer, owner of oil wells and billionaire Laslo Carreidas – "the man who never laughs." He is also heading to the congress in Sydney, and since he loves to play battleship during the flight, he makes Captain Haddock and his friends an offer they can't refuse – inviting them to join him. But as soon as they take their seats on the brand new three-engine business jet "Carreidas 160", Tintin realizes that strange things are happening and they need to keep their ears open...

After "The Castafiore Emerald", where the action takes place in Moulinsart and its surroundings, Hergé, in his own words, returned to adventure with a capital "A"! The first print run of the album exceeded half a million copies. And today the 22nd story of the series captivates the reader no less than it did back in 1968.
