Follow AM15 in real time

The aircraft appears below whenever it is airborne and inside receiver coverage. Its planned route is drawn between the two airports.

AM15 is not transmitting right now. It may be between rotations, on the ground, or out of receiver range - Check back near 22:30 at MEX. The full map has the rest of the sky, and what is flying over me will name whatever is above you instead.

AM15 at a glance

  • The trip: 7,433 km (4,619 miles) from Mexico City to São Paulo, flying south-east.
  • How long: 9h 15m gate to gate. That is about 804 km/h on average, taxi time included.
  • Your watch: set it 3 hours forward on arrival.
  • Window seat tip: the right (south-facing) side gets the sun on a daytime flight.
  • The plane: usually a Boeing 787-8. This route uses about 55% of how far it can fly.
  • When it goes: out of MEX in late evening, into GRU in mid-morning. It is an overnight, so most of the cabin will try to sleep.

AM15 route overview: MEX to GRU

AM15 distance and great-circle path

AM15 covers 7,433 km, or 4,619 miles. That makes it a long-haul flight, a widebody route with a full night's flying time. Of the 439 routes we track, it ranks 154 by distance.

The plane leaves Mexico City 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 MEX-GRU route appears on a tracker map.

Why AM15 block time differs from cruise time

The schedule allows 9.2 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 804 km/h. A Boeing 787-8 cruises faster than that. The gap is taxi time, climbing, descending and holding.

Flying east, this route usually picks up tailwinds high up. The flight back west normally takes longer, even though the distance is identical. See how timing changes the trip in our red-eye flight guide.

Can the Boeing 787-8 comfortably fly AM15?

Not at all. At roughly 55% of its range, this is an easy trip for a Boeing 787-8. The airline picked it for cabin size, not distance. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Boeing 787-8.

What to know about AM15

  • Time change: you land 3 hours ahead of the time you left.
  • Crosses the equator: you swap seasons between takeoff and landing.
  • High airport at the start: MEX sits 7,316 ft up. Thin air means a longer takeoff run.

How much CO2 does AM15 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Boeing 787-8, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

CO2 per passenger622 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 622 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy198 seats, 164 flown
454 kg CO2 per seat
Business36 seats, 30 flown
1,318 kg CO2 per seat
First7 seats, 6 flown
1,818 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, AM15 emits what 2,083 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 3,657 km, or 17,762 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 6,297 km and 8,612 km, interpolated to this route's 7,433 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 AM15 against another flight.
