That's a long flight, but actually, DL's new LAX-GRU nonstop on the 763ER is approx. 100 miles longer. You have to love the versatility of the 767.

I was under the impression that this route was upgraded to the A330-200, or would be upgraded soon. But checking in the schedules it appears as though SVO-LAX is still going out as 767-300.
Does anyone have any news as to when the 332 will replace the venerable 763 on this route?

According to passrider.com, the LAX-SVO is a tad longer than the LAX-GRU flight, and it's longer by a few minutes, not that much difference.
Anybody if this is the longest 767 flight in the world????

Here is my two cents:
LAX-SVO is about 1000 miles longer than DL's IST-JFK.
DL flying west have stopped for refueling in the past for this flight in FCO, CDG. So you do the math. I know IST is a lot warmer in the summer but SVO flights might be taking a lot of weight restrictions.

Maybe in flight time...not in total distance...but it's close.

DL has not had to make fuelstop unless there have been mechanical or fuel availability issues. The 767 flies ATH-ATL which is longer than ISTJFK without problems. DL also flies ATH-ATL at faster than ideal cruise speeds in order to get it in under 12 hrs and the flight regularly leaves ATH with a full passenger and baggage load and is not at max takeoff weight.
Remember that DL and AA 763s are getting winglets right now which will further increase performance; on a flight like SVO-LAX, it should reduce fuel burn by 5-6K pounds of fuel.
The 767 is a very versatile aircraft and has a whole lot more performance than alot of people here know or acknowledge.

correct, probably why I started this thread, I didn't think the 767 could stay airborne for more than 13 hours and land with reserves....

Air Canada occasionally uses a B767-300 for YYZ-NRT services, 6415 miles, (roughly 300 miles longer than LAX-SVO). In fact one of the round trips this week YYZ-NRT-YYZ, AC001/AC002 is being flown by a B767-300.
It requires a dedicated aircraft to do this flight, but only for crew rest facilities ... the fuel capacity and MTOW are all standard for the fleet.

That's odd to me since LAX-SVO is a polar route and thus winds won't affect it as much as LAX-GRU, which is 69 nm longer.
If you have never designed an airplane part before, let the real designers do the work!

The distance is similar to that of CDG-NRT, the world's longest A332 flight (although I'm not sure AF uses the A332 on this route at the moment but they had at one point), so the A332 could in theory make it also. I think the A330-200 also surprises many about its range, me the first!

Let me tell you... LAX-SVO is one HELL of a flight, time-wise. I have flown the route quite the many times, and it never ceases to amaze me how an airliner can fly for so long. Don't get me wrong there are plenty of longer flights out there nowadays, but for me this was the longest I've ever taken. The service on SU's flights are great, so I've never had a problem, always enjoyed those trips to the max.

Quoting JFK69 (Reply 19): Up until last year it was flown with the 767.
Yes, but they stopped. It used to be LAX-YYZ-TLV when they used a 767. LAX-TLV on the 777-200ER is 7574 miles, way too far for a 767 non-stop.

Can you tell us a little about the SVO-LAX flight......
is that 767 weight restricted?
How much reserve-fuel do you land with at LAX after that 13 hr flight??
25 RJ111: The longest ever scheduled non-stop 767 route was LY's TLV-MIA at a still air 5738nm, with the 762ER. And that only discontinued recently. The longest
26 MIgAiR54: SVO-HAV It is a pretty long one. Sometimes they stop in SNN to refuel because the headwinds.
28 Nickofatlanta: Probably worth noting that SCL is almost directly due south of JFK. However, GRU is southeast of LAX - so substantially more travel time. See: http:/
29 Soxfan: Same for DL on their ultra-long 763 flights such as JFK-TLV and AMM, where the first-row center BusinessElite seats have been removed for built-in pi
30 A342: Well, LAX-AKL should be about 14 hours then. My bad.
31 Lobster: The longest scheduled nonstop flights (in terms of distance) on 767 aircraft are: 1. AM MTY-FCO 762 5295nm 2. SU SVO-LAX 763 5281nm 3. SU SVO-HAV 763
32 DAL763ER: I did state where I got my numbers from. I put in the origin and destination airport and the numbers were given from the more or less actual flight p
33 Juventus: Just look at Aeromexico's Rome-MTY flight going west-bound, it's 13 hrs, 20 mns long.....and we have a new winner for the longest 767 flight
34 KochamLOT: just imagine the max flight if that aircraft had those new wingtips.
35 Adam42185: Ive flown this leg three times I think, never more than 13 hours. either way, its a LONG flight, and I have never done it on a 767.
37 Timz: They did MXP-SFO-- anybody else remember FCO-SFO? How about MXP-LAX or FCO-LAX?
38 FlyLKU: The great circle mapper shows these as 4429nm and 5350nm
39 Antskip: I agree with you about such long flights! I find MEL-DXB/DXB-MEL nonstop (13 1/2-to 14 1/2hrs) absolute torture after the first 10 hrs or so. Which i
40 Aeroflot777: I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the airliners, I was only judging from a human standpoint. That is very true. For me the wall is like at
42 PlymSpotter: LAN Chile flew SCL-MAD with the 767-200ER, that's 5777nm, I seem to remember it went via GRU at one point with the 763 but has also been a direct ser
43 PlanenutzTB: As a passenger I'm not sure how to tell if there are weight restrictions. I've flown on this SVO-LAX flight several times in the summer. The flight w
44 TJCAB: also remember Lauda Air VIE-BKK-SYD and Melbourne?
45 Phllax: LY's LAX-TLV has been a 777 since at least March 2007. Westbound takes usually 15 hours, all night-time except for the last hour or so. The time I did
46 RJ111: TOGA thrust is only available for a limited amount of time (5 minutes). The 767 has a rather slow cruise speed of M080. M086 is their max cruise spee
47 Viscount724: I wouldn't count the AC YYZ-NRT route since the 763 is only an occasional (very occasional if not mistaken) substitution. The published AC schedule s
48 Aviateur: DL's 763s aren't challenged by distance, per se, so much as by load and temperature. I know, it depends how you look at it, but the longest flights ar
49 LongHauler: It is about to start twice a week. With the B777 picking up the rest.
50 Transpac787: I think we're all forgetting TLV-MIA on LY 767-200ER, right?? TLV-MIA: 6603mi YYZ-NRT: 6415mi LAX-GRU: 6156mi LAX-SVO: 6078mi
51 DocLightning: Anyway, I'd rather 13 hours in a 763 than a 744 unless I had easy aisle access in the 744. The 744 is only nice when you're in an exit row.
