Tintin with Milou, Captain Haddock and Professor Tournesol are on Flight 714 from London to Sydney for the International Astronautical Congress, where they, as the first moon explorers, are invited as guests of honor. At the airport in Jakarta during the last intermediate landing, they meet the famous aircraft manufacturer, owner of oil wells and billionaire Laszlo Carreidas – “the man who never laughs.” He is also on his way to a convention in Sydney, and since he loves to play sea combat in flight, he makes Captain Haddock and his friends an offer that cannot be refused, inviting them to accompany him. However, as soon as they take up seats on board the new three-engine business jet Carreidas 160, Tintin realizes that strange things are happening here and you need to keep an eye on it.
The publication of the 22nd volume in Tintin magazine began in September 1966 and ended in November 1967; the album version came out in 1968. After Castafiore's chamber jewels, confined to Moulinsard's space, Erger, in his own words, returned to "...adventure with a capital "P." However, the appearance of the next volume was rather forced: Erger was elementary tired of Tintin, tired so much that he decided to quit the series and pursue his beloved painting. This would probably have happened if not... Asterix! At first, Erger was quite indifferent to the colossal commercial success of the little Gaul, but a couple of sharp articles that sent Tintin into the category of heroes whose time has irrevocably passed caused him serious fury. In addition, the publisher urged to finally release a new story and thereby show that Asterix is, of course, great, but Tintin is Tintin, and his place at the top of the “Gang of Dessine” is undeniable. Be that as it may, the work boiled over, and the 22nd story about Tintin soon took its place on the shelves of millions of fans: only the first edition of the album exceeded 500,000 copies... although the new “Asterix” has consistently exceeded a million and came out with a frequency of once every six months.
Among intellectuals, the album is usually criticized, however, according to the apt expression of one of his fans, this is due to the fact that “they were not lucky to read it as a child.” Today, almost 60 years after its publication, it is safe to say that Flight 714 to Sydney is a complete, exciting and well-constructed story. It remains to be added that, along with the lunar dilogy, The Mysterious Star and The Tournasol Case, Flight 714 to Sydney is the five most “science fiction” volumes of the series.
