AC65 route overview: YVR to BKK

AC65 distance and great-circle path

AC65 covers 11,803 km, or 7,334 miles. That makes it an ultra-long-haul flight, near the limit of what most twinjets can fly non-stop. Of the 339 routes we track, it ranks 33 by distance.

Vancouver to Bangkok crosses the international date line. The 11,803 km track runs north-west, and the calendar date at the gate in Bangkok will not be the one the cabin expects. It links Canada with Thailand.

Our guide explains how the YVR-BKK route appears on a tracker map.

Can the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner comfortably fly AC65?

Not really. It uses about 84% of the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner's range. That leaves room for a full load of passengers and bags. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.

What to know about AC65

  • Time change: you land 14 hours ahead of the time you left. That is enough to cause jet lag. Here is how pilots handle it.
  • Crosses the date line: the calendar date changes while you are in the air.

What we know about AC65

What flying YVR to BKK takes

It is an ultra-long-haul sector, near the limit of what most twinjets can fly non-stop. Air Canada needs a long-range widebody such as an A350, 787 or 777: few types can fly this far with a commercial payload, and headwinds can force a technical stop on the worst days. 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 ACA65 through adsbdb, not a schedule copied from elsewhere. We have logged it airborne on 10 days between 2026-09-20 and 2026-10-11. 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.

AC65 activity in the past 7 days

Our database contains 3 observations of AC65 across 3 UTC dates in this window, most recently 2026-10-11. Those records contain 3 distinct transponder addresses. The most frequently resolved route was YVR-BKK (3 records).

The median recorded visibility was 939 minutes. That is time inside receiver coverage, not airborne duration or an on-time-performance measurement.

How much CO2 does AC65 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Boeing 787-9, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown11,803 km
AircraftBoeing 787-9 Dreamliner
Fuel burn rate7.01 kg per km
Fuel burned82,770 kg
CO2, whole flight261.6 tonnes
Seats, typical layout290
Passengers carried241 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger1,085 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 1,085 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy238 seats, 198 flown
785 kg CO2 per seat
Business44 seats, 37 flown
2,276 kg CO2 per seat
First9 seats, 7 flown
3,139 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, AC65 emits what 4,359 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 6,384 km, or 31,008 km of the same journey by train.

How this is worked out. Fuel burn is read from published measurements of this type, taken at sectors of 6,204 km, 9,208 km and 12,116 km, interpolated to this route's 11,803 km. 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 AC65 against another flight.

Data sources and review

Reviewed 2026-07-29 by Flight-Tracker.net Editorial Team

The route and typical schedule are maintained reference data. Live ADS-B observations are evidence of receiver coverage, not proof of on-time performance. Always confirm the operating date and times with the airline.
