  • When it goes: out of SVO in mid-morning, into DXB in the afternoon.

SU520 route overview: SVO to DXB

SU520 distance and great-circle path

SU520 covers 3,712 km, or 2,306 miles. That makes it a medium-haul flight, long enough for a full meal service, short enough for narrowbodies. Of the 439 routes we track, it ranks 263 by distance.

The plane leaves Moscow heading south-east. On the map above, the line looks curved. That is normal. The shortest path over a round planet never looks straight on a flat screen. Our guide explains how the SVO-DXB route appears on a tracker map.

Why SU520 block time differs from cruise time

The schedule allows 5.2 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 707 km/h. An Airbus A330-300 cruises faster than that. The gap is taxi time, climbing, descending and holding.

Winds aloft shift the real flight time by up to an hour in either direction. See what really moves flight times.

Can the Airbus A330-300 comfortably fly SU520?

Not at all. At roughly 32% of its range, this is an easy trip for an Airbus A330-300. The airline picked it for cabin size, not distance. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Airbus A330-300.

What to know about SU520

  • Time change: you land 1 hour ahead of the time you left.

SU520 activity in the past 7 days

Our database contains 8 observations of SU520 across 8 UTC dates in this window, most recently 2026-10-29. Those records contain 5 distinct transponder addresses.

The median recorded visibility was 29 minutes. That is time inside receiver coverage, not airborne duration or an on-time-performance measurement.

How much CO2 does SU520 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Airbus A330-300, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown3,712 km
AircraftAirbus A330-300
Fuel burn rate6.25 kg per km
Fuel burned23,185 kg
CO2, whole flight73.3 tonnes
Seats, typical layout277
Passengers carried230 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger319 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 319 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy227 seats, 188 flown
231 kg CO2 per seat
Business42 seats, 35 flown
669 kg CO2 per seat
First8 seats, 7 flown
923 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, SU520 emits what 1,221 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 1,874 km, or 9,101 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 5,556 km and 10,275 km, all longer than this route, so the closest is held flat and the real figure is likely a little higher. 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 SU520 against another flight.

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.
