Follow AM57 in real time

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

AM57 is not transmitting right now. It may be between rotations, on the ground, or out of receiver range - Check back near 08:45 at MEX. The full map has the rest of the sky, and what is flying over me will name whatever is above you instead.

AM57 at a glance

  • How long: 14h 15m gate to gate. That is about 790 km/h on average, taxi time included.
  • Your watch: set it 15 hours forward on arrival.
  • Window seat tip: the left (south-facing) side gets the sun on a daytime flight.
  • The plane: usually a Boeing 787-9. This route uses about 80% of how far it can fly.
  • When it goes: out of MEX in early morning, into NRT in the afternoon.

AM57 route overview: MEX to NRT

AM57 distance and great-circle path

AM57 covers 11,253 km, or 6,992 miles. That makes it an ultra-long-haul flight, near the limit of what most twinjets can fly non-stop. Of the 439 routes we track, it ranks 43 by distance.

The plane leaves Mexico City heading north-west. 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-NRT route appears on a tracker map.

Why AM57 block time differs from cruise time

The schedule allows 14.2 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 790 km/h. A Boeing 787-9 cruises faster than that. The gap is taxi time, climbing, descending and holding.

Flying west, this route pushes against the wind. The trip back east is usually shorter, even though the distance is the same. See why long flights take odd-looking routes.

Can the Boeing 787-9 comfortably fly AM57?

Not really. It uses about 80% of the Boeing 787-9'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.

What to know about AM57

  • Time change: you land 15 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.
  • High airport at the start: MEX sits 7,316 ft up. Thin air means a longer takeoff run.

How much CO2 does AM57 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 flown11,253 km
AircraftBoeing 787-9 Dreamliner
Fuel burn rate6.72 kg per km
Fuel burned75,604 kg
CO2, whole flight238.9 tonnes
Seats, typical layout290
Passengers carried241 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger991 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 991 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy238 seats, 198 flown
717 kg CO2 per seat
Business44 seats, 37 flown
2,079 kg CO2 per seat
First9 seats, 7 flown
2,867 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, AM57 emits what 3,982 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 5,831 km, or 28,323 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 11,253 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 AM57 against another flight.
