AV20 route overview: BOG to JFK

AV20 distance and great-circle path

AV20 covers 3,996 km, or 2,483 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 252 by distance.

The plane leaves Bogotá heading north. 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 BOG-JFK route appears on a tracker map.

Why AV20 block time differs from cruise time

The schedule allows 5.8 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 685 km/h. A Boeing 787-8 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 Boeing 787-8 comfortably fly AV20?

Not at all. At roughly 30% 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 AV20

  • Time change: you land 1 hour ahead of the time you left.
  • High airport at the start: BOG sits 8,361 ft up. Thin air means a longer takeoff run.

How much CO2 does AV20 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.

Distance flown3,996 km
AircraftBoeing 787-8 Dreamliner
Fuel burn rate5.26 kg per km
Fuel burned21,027 kg
CO2, whole flight66.4 tonnes
Seats, typical layout242
Passengers carried201 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger331 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 331 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy198 seats, 164 flown
242 kg CO2 per seat
Business36 seats, 30 flown
701 kg CO2 per seat
First7 seats, 6 flown
966 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, AV20 emits what 1,107 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 1,945 km, or 9,445 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, 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 AV20 against another flight.
