So unless the runways in Abu Dhabi are really short (which I don't think they are) then the heat/humidity should not determine how much load including fuel any aircraft could carry.Q400https://www.blogger.com/profile/09330385169689869567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-60463347268326846712009-05-31T05:01:30.846+02:002009-05-31T05:01:30.846+02:00okay thank you all, especially 'Q400' for these an...okay thank you all, especially 'Q400' for these answers, good opinions everyone, and sorry ex-yu, i made a mistake first of all, i said zagreb-tehran!<br /><br />from anonymous 1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-81779285178989715712009-05-31T00:55:12.807+02:002009-05-31T00:55:12.807+02:006,900km range on an Airbus 319?

And should they stop buying more if they are just sitting around idle?<br /><br />So if this CRJ is being leased until mid-July, how long is the MD82 from Dubrovnik Airlines being leased for?frequentflyernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-48298144296471950242009-05-30T11:49:41.720+02:002009-05-30T11:49:41.720+02:00@ Q400, you are correct.

For an RPT IFR (airline type flight) flight you need 45 minutes reserve plus an extra 15% of the flight time as reserve. <br />So lets say the speed in nil wind of a 737-300 is 840km/h then you will see that the 737-300 can legally only fly an air distance of about 2770km.<br /><br />I did these calculations quickly so they are just rough figures.Q400https://www.blogger.com/profile/09330385169689869567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-51071350635390775772009-05-30T11:33:11.292+02:002009-05-30T11:33:11.292+02:00I think the services will be to and from Dubrovnik...I think the services will be to and from Dubrovnik.

An A319 has a range of 6.900 kilometres when fully loaded meaning it would make the flight comfortably. <br /><br />The theoretical air distance between Belgrade and Abu Dhabi is 3.800 kilometres meaning that it is longer than Zagreb-Tehran. A B737-300 has a range of 4.000 kilometres and although theoretically it can make it non stop from Belgrade to Abu Dhabi, for security reasons this cant happen because there can always be a delay, wind and so on.EX-YU Aviationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13952283005857074627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-26848099159067586722009-05-30T09:35:56.878+02:002009-05-30T09:35:56.878+02:00Will the Airbus fleet cope with flying all the way...Will the Airbus fleet cope with flying all the way to Tehran, over Romania, Black sea and the former Soviet-countries.
