Today, I was looking at the Air Canada web site just for the sake of it and I saw that they are starting new non-stop service from YYZ-Delhi, India. How many miles is that? Wouldn't it almost strech the range of the aircraft they are operating?

That's really long. What is the range on the A343?

Would that be a safety issue when it flies for 7,232 miles when the range of that aircraft is 7,300? What would it do if it needs to hold pattern due to weather issues? Sorry if this thread was already created I didn't really notice it.

Actually, I think this route is supposed to be a trans-polar route.
This makes it shorter in distance and also reduces fuel burn do to the colder temps over the north pole.
I remember reading that we would be one of the first airlines to fly trans-polar when the YYZ-DEL flights were introduced.

I think there is a safety factor built into the listed range ... It can probably fly more than 7300 nm, but for safety reasons they cap it at 7300.

Note: 1 nautical mile = 1.151 miles
The still-air range of the 343 is 7,200-7,400 nautical miles which is roughly 8,300-8,500 miles, depending on the MTOW. The great-circle distance between YYZ and DEL is about 6,300 nm. Taking weather/wind into account, I think ther 343 should be adequate for the mission.

Actually, the 7232 that I mentioned was nautical miles - it's what I get displayed if I ask our reservation system for the distance between YYZ and DEL - the TPM (Ticketed Point Mileage) is always displayed in NM, but I guess that maybe this is not the polar route...

The hot-and-high conditions of DEL might reduce the buffer considerably for the DEL-YYZ leg
DEL is at an elevation of 777 feet ASL and the flight has a schedule 100am departure. Neither HOT nor HIGH conditions are particularly applicable here.
