What we know about AA2919

What flying EWR to ORD takes

It is a short-haul sector, a single-aisle hop where turnaround time matters more than range.

In daylight the sun sits on the left (south-facing) side of the cabin for most of the crossing.

How we verified this

The origin and destination on this page are the ones we verified for callsign AAL2919 through adsbdb, not a schedule copied from elsewhere. We have logged it airborne on 16 days between 2026-09-19 and 2026-10-05. Timings are observations, not an official operational status: always confirm with the airline before travelling.

This page was published from our own tracking record rather than a third-party schedule feed, so it grows as we see the flight again. The seven-day log below is the raw version of the same evidence.

AA2919 activity in the past 7 days

Our database contains 7 observations of AA2919 across 7 UTC dates in this window, most recently 2026-10-05. Those records contain 6 distinct transponder addresses. The most frequently resolved route was EWR-ORD (7 records).

The median recorded visibility was 128 minutes. That is time inside receiver coverage, not airborne duration or an on-time-performance measurement.

How much CO2 does AA2919 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Boeing 737 MAX 8, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown1,154 km
AircraftBoeing 737 MAX 8
Fuel burn rate3.04 kg per km
Fuel burned3,506 kg
CO2, whole flight11.1 tonnes
Seats, typical layout162
Passengers carried134 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger83 kg

Where that lands by cabin

The aircraft burns the same fuel whoever is aboard, so the cabins divide one total rather than each carrying their own. A seat's share is the floor it takes up, which is why an economy seat comes out below the 83 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy143 seats, 119 flown
67 kg CO2 per seat
Business19 seats, 16 flown
194 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, AA2919 emits what 185 trees take back out of the air in a year. One economy seat on it accounts for about the same carbon dioxide as driving a petrol car 486 km, or 2,362 km of the same journey by train.

How this is worked out. Fuel burn is read from published measurements of this type, taken at a 1,222 km sector, the only published sector for this type, applied to this route's 1,154 km unadjusted. It counts carbon dioxide only, and the cabin split assumes the layout typical of this size of aircraft. Read the full method, sources and caveats, or put AA2919 against another flight.
