Hi all

i recently flew RJ on BOM-AMM sector and was on an A319

we taxied quite long and the flight was around 6hrs 45 mins and we did a few rounds over AMM airport.

when we finally landed it was about 7hrs 28mins of flight!

how much longer could the A319 fly?

also are there any routes longer on an A319?

luckily i was in Crown Class ,personally dont enjoy long flights in narrow-bodies

thanks
Dr Gaurav Pai

This list is a little outdated, though.

Right now, the longest A319 flight is Gambia Bird's Freetown (Sierra Leone)-London Gatwick service @2627nm

GCM shows my flight BOM AMM as below

From To Initial
Heading Distance
BOM (19°05'19"N 72°52'05"E) AMM (31°43'21"N 35°59'36"E) 298° (NW) 2549 mi

plus with added holding and delay i think we were on the verge of being the longest A319 flight!!

anyway it was too long for a narrow-body,my personal two cents

cheers

Don't confuse "miles" and "nautical miles".

Mumbai-Amman 2449mi, 2129nm

Freetown-Gatwick 3023mi, 2627nm

So it's not that close together

so how long is that flight approx?

that was part of my question not only which is the longest but how long is it? as in hrs/mins?

7hrs 27 mins was my inflight time and was wondering how much longer that lil bird could stay in the air?i am no expert but im guessing not much longer!
cheers

But if memory correct those AF "Dedicate" flights used A319LRs with extra fuel tanks, similar to the Boeing BBJ. They also had far fewer seats than most standard A319s

BBJ is a different type to any 737 - it's a -700 fuselage mated to -800 wing and engines, whereas an A319CJ is just a common-or-garden A319 with an extra tank (or two?) in the cargo hold.

Yes Dedicate has less seats than easyJet but those J class units are very heavy so there isn't that much weight saved vs a high density layout.

"Had" less seats. AF dropped the "Dedicate" service last April.

AF now uses the A330-200 on CDG-PNR (5 x week).
