AV60 distance and great-circle path
AV60 covers 4,689 km, or 2,914 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 234 by distance.
The plane leaves Bogotá heading south. 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-EZE route appears on a tracker map.
Why AV60 block time differs from cruise time
The schedule allows 6.3 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 740 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 how timing changes the trip in our red-eye flight guide.
Can the Boeing 787-8 comfortably fly AV60?
Not at all. At roughly 35% 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.
