Use a mileage calculator in google , it says the distance is roughly the same... :) Please do tell the distances. For an air company, even a small difference in fuel per flight means a lot nowadays. A straight line is always the shortest distance..... |

Anyone choosing to fly Air India needs to seriously check out. Believe me...if you know what's good for you, you'll choose the 36 hour, 10 stop trip. Any company that parks a new Boeing 787 for over 9 months and a newer Boeing 777 for a few years, and uses them for spare parts, can be considered a psychotic flight line operation...amongst several other similar "best practices". I'll estimate a solid 10% completion factor on this route. The best of luck to those who choose to go. |

Using a 777 twin engine jet they are restricted to flying within "120 minutes" of a divert field on one engine while crossing the Atlantic. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 62349689 Great circle route is shorter, plus this is an artists' conception drawing, not to scale. Plus if they did have to divert; it would be easier to get the aircraft fixed in Europe or Eastern USA than in China. |
