Big Jet TV is a British YouTube channel that records and livestreams aeroplanes landing at major airports, particularly London's Heathrow Airport.[2] It was founded in 2016 by Jerry Dyer,[3] an aviation enthusiast who livestreams with commentary from the roof of a specially adapted van.[4] As of May 2025, Dyer has six filming locations around Heathrow.[3]
The channel made international headlines in February 2022 when it livestreamed planes landing at Heathrow during Storm Eunice in very high winds.[5][6][7] More than 200,000 viewers were tuned in at one point.[8] The BBC carried a report titled "Big Jet TV turns plane-watching into a phenomenon".[4] The channel received further recognition during Storm Gerrit in December 2023.[3]
In June 2025, the channel livestreamed footage of a deportee running across a taxiway at Heathrow, which soon drew international media attention.[9][10][11]
