The biggest commercial flight of one 747!!

[Guest Darren Howie]

Well if KLAX-YSSY is 7488 nm then the year round service operated by QF ER's from YMML-KLAX is 7903nm.This has been until recently the longest year round service operated by the 400.There are longer routes but none of them until recently are year round and i dont think they are 400 operated.ANyone else got some more info.Darren

Longest nonstop freighter service (incl. payload) I have seen so far was ELLX-PHKO (Luxembourg- Keahole Kona/Hawaii)... this was for the occasion of flying the trimarans for "Waterworld" ;-) to the filming location :-)You can guess the "carrier" :-)Cheers,Norbert - CLX001CEO Virtual Cargoluxwww.virtualcargolux.org

Hey Jeff,What routing/airways did you use to calculate these distances?Thanks,Gerry

No airways, just great circle distance.http://gc.kls2.com/regards,Jeff

[Guest RAR_Fan]

Thanks Jeff,FSNav 4.7 calcuates them a bit shorter! (wonder who to trust now!!)Guess the the diameter of the world is getting smaller, (you know all the global heating and stuff...):-beerchug Have a great weekend!Gerry

It's a very close one Jeff - SA used to do KMIA-FAJS - 8061nm - 4 nm in it! If they were to do their new route without a stop, it would beat the KEWR - KIAD-FAJS 8134nm, but, unfortunately, they stop these days!

Korean KIAD - RKSI 6030nm great circle, saw them climbing out today.South African just added KIAD - FAJS , but it stops in DGAA :(
