What was the longest nonstop flight (hours and distances) of an A 300 ever and what is the longest nonstop flight it is currently used for?? Any airline using it on transatlantic oder transpazific-routes?
I know still some airlines like CSA or ATA are using the A 310-300 over the pond and PIA from Europe to Pakistan. Any other airline still using this beauty on long-distance flights?

Hey!
I once red in "AERO International" that a InterFlug A310 made a nonstop flight from Okinawa or somewhere else in Japan to SXF.
Don't know which magazine it was. You can check it out. It was the magazine with a big article on Interflug. It's maximum a two year old issue.

If memory serves, before TK moved their operations to JFK they ran A310 service nonstop between EWR and IST, something more than 5000 miles. That must have stretched that aircraft's capabilities to the limit!

At one time I believe Air Afrique operated JFK-DKR (3806 mi/6124 km) with the A300-600R. AA also flew JFK-LHR (3451 mi/5554 km) and I think BOS-ORY (3449 mi/5550 km) with the type.
I am not aware of any current regularly scheduled transatlantic or transpacific A300 passenger service, though.

At one time, Aeroflot was running SVO-HKG on an A310, but the route it overflew was Moscow - Novosibirsk - Ulaan Bataar - Beijing - Wuhan - Hong Kong.

I was in CUN yesterday and Air Plus Comet had an A310 parked at Gate A1 with non-stop service to BCN (I asked if it was non-stop and the gate agent said yes)... a CUN-BCN should be a looong flight for an A310...

Interflug flew scheduled SXF-HAV. That's 8403km /4537nm and a bit shorter than to Japan. But winds on the return make a lot uglier to fly on an A313.
That's the reason why their A313 got higher fuel capacity than all other A313. They are now flying for with the German Air Force, which really appreciates that feature ... specifications on the range of those frames are a little divers, so I don't now the correct range. I guess it is somewhere around 10.500km (nominal).

OM operates one stop ULN - SVO - TXL and also non-stop ULN - TXL. At some point this was an A310 route, it may still be unless they switched to 738 equipment (which does not have the range to operate non-stop to Western Europe)

That may have been the airways route for nav purposes but HKG on the A310 was always nonstop (please, no jokes).

It's the outbound winds that made it ugly. The return would have been pushed along by tailwinds all year.
fly Saha Air 707s daily from Tehran's downtown Mehrabad to Mashhad, Kish Island and Ahwaz

32 Alespesl: Czech Airlines flies A 310 on the following routes nonstop. PRG-JFK PRG-EWR PRG-YUL PRG-YYZ I would say YYZ is the longest one.
33 MSYtristar: Air Transat flies YUL-LYS thrice weekly with the A313 right now. I saw one pull into the gate at LYS when I was there a few weeks ago.
34 Solnabo: @ Aselpesl PRG-YYZ is 6703 Km, long leg for the piggy 310 Micke//
35 ChrisI1024: They still fly MIA-EZE with an A310. Nine hours, I think.
36 NewYorkCityBoi: Which of these is the longest? OK: YYZ-PRG TK: JFK-IST TK: IST-BKK SU: SVO-HKG AR: EZE-JFK
37 JFK998: Didnt AA fly JFK-CDG/LHR non-stop with the A300? I believe it was pre 9/11. If Im wrong.. correct me. Im only human.
38 FXMD11: They always stoped in Gander, Canada. I have an old (10/89) Interflug Board Magazine proving that. IF used to be a long time visitor to Gander, espec
39 FoxBravo: Definitely JFK-LHR (see my reply #9 above) and BOS-LHR (see reply #5 above). I believe they flew BOS-ORY (before switching over to CDG), and they may
41 NewYorkCityBoi: Balkan didn't fly A310 but 767-200ER, so it can do nonstop without question to Bangkok. Tarom did some stop ( I guess DXB) from BKK to Bucarest. I fl
42 MCOflyer: Looks like that EZE-JFK is the winner for current routes. MCOflyer
43 Jfk777: Pan Am flew many A310-300 from JFK to Europe during the mid to late 1980's, they flew them every where.
44 FlyMeToTheMoon: RO (Tarom) used to operate A310 JFK-OTP (4755 mi) non stop in the mid-nineties. Nice flight, especially if you were seated in the exit row. Happy flyi
45 WildcatYXU: That's interesting. According to OK's web site their 310's don't have the range. http://www.csa.cz/en/czechia/cz_cest...a/letadlovaflotila/cz_a310_30
47 FXMD11: Great info. Thanks. I somehow always mix the equipment at former Balkan.I guess what makes me confused is the fact that these 767 were F-registered(l
48 MAH4546: The longest current A310 route is MIA-EZE on Aerolineas Argentinas. Some long ones Miami in the past include Royal Jordanian's Miami-Vienna route (lat
49 TJCAB: I thought TK made a tech stop in Brussels.
52 Alespesl: The correct way to say it is uncomfortable.
53 NewYorkCityBoi: Really, I never recalled they came to BKK since those day we didnt use internet as much in Thailand and I remember things by experience or did plane-
54 Deltaflyertoo: I seem to recall Air France operating the A300 from SFO and or LAX to Paris in the 80s...
57 Spetouss: I have flown on Kuwait Airways, from Kuwait City to Singapore, 9 hours long flight. KWI-SIN: 9 hours
58 Haj96: LH also used the 310 on the FRA-EWR route and HF used them on the HAJ-MIA (or was it FLL?) flights. This was in the early 90s. regards, haj96[Edited 2
59 GatwickA320: Ok. I did Gatwick (LGW) to Orlando Sanford (SFB) in an A300........ non stop!!! We were scheduled to refuel in BGR en route, but as we only had 15 pas

65 Haj96: Well, HF used to fly to PUJ and (I think) POP and since they never had any other longhaul equipment it must have been the 310. regards, haj96
66 Yazeed: Royal Jordanian used to fly between Europe (Shannon and Amsterdam) to JFK and Chicago. This was before using the A340's. I think they still using a 31
67 TurkishWings: True... IST-JFK was never non-stop until the 340s arrived. However, TK did fly IST-JNB-CPT with a 310 when the 340s went tech or were under maintenan
68 Aircellist: I kinda remember that LH used its A310 to Montréal (YMX) as well, and maybe A300 to some US destinations in the early '90s. Can anyone confirm?
69 A300605R: That's what I was not aware of. Thanks
70 PADSpot: Nope. It might be in the flight magazine, but they used Gander only in really bad weather on the first leg. It was normally done non-stop on A313s. S
71 BA787: Wish we still saw those birds over here. I love them. Scarebus Pah, wait till you see the new A380 Tom
72 Ckfred: OS used to fly the A310 on VIE-ORD with a stop in Copenhagen. I believe this was a codeshare with SAS.
73 FoxBravo: Yes, I believe LH did fly the A300 to the U.S. for a brief period. It might have been DUS-JFK, but I'm not entirely sure. Edit: I take that back. It
74 MCOflyer: [quote=FoxBravo,reply=73]but I'm not entirely sure.[/quot They flew to BOS from FRA or MUC. I can't find anything in the photo data base, but can some
75 Timz: I think you'll have a hard time finding a timetable showing that. CO A300s with 180-minute ETOPS? That's headline news.
76 Cedarjet: The longest A310 flight is the Eagle Air one I read about, from Halifax to Paris, where they put the movie soundtrack through the cabin PA. That's a l
77 GatwickA320: From Diesel 1 Yes it was Monarch, I used to work as crew for them. They soley use the A330's and the one B767 for Orlando routes. The A300 will be use
78 FXMD11: My understanding is that the SU 310 SVO-BKK was via DEL while the IL86 did that nonstop. But then you never know. Russians keep changing. One season
