Seating is the typical charter layout, not the certified maximum. Range and speed are published figures for a typical mission and change with passengers, fuel and weather.
Best for
- Intercontinental flights where a stop would cost hours.
- Groups travelling in comfort for many hours at a time.
- Long routes: its published range is 6,750 nm.
Not ideal for
- Short trips, which do not use what the aircraft is built for.
- Airports with short runways, since these aircraft need more room to take off and land.
Nonstop routes from India
Based on the same distance rule as our Range Explorer: the route plus a 10% reserve must fit inside the published range. Weather, passenger load, airspace closures and airport limits can still mean a fuel stop, and we check all of that before quoting.
