AK1420 route overview: KUL to LGK

AK1420 distance and great-circle path

AK1420 covers 455 km, or 283 miles. That makes it a short-haul flight, a single-aisle hop where turnaround time matters more than range. Of the 439 routes we track, it ranks 418 by distance.

The plane leaves Kuala Lumpur 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 KUL-LGK route appears on a tracker map.

Why AK1420 block time differs from cruise time

The schedule allows 1.1 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 420 km/h. An Airbus A320 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 A320 comfortably fly AK1420?

Not at all. At roughly 7% of its range, this is an easy trip for an Airbus A320. The airline picked it for cabin size, not distance. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Airbus A320.

What to know about AK1420

  • Time change: none. Both cities keep the same clock, so arrival time reads exactly as you expect.

AK1420 against the rest of the KUL-LGK pairing

We track 2 scheduled services between Kuala Lumpur and Langkawi, split between AirAsia and Malaysia Airlines. Among them, it is the only one flown with an Airbus A320.

Measured against AK1420, which pushes back at 09:25:

Block time is gate to gate, so it counts taxi at both ends. That is why two flights covering identical distance rarely share a scheduled duration.

How much CO2 does AK1420 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Airbus A320, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown455 km
AircraftAirbus A320
Fuel burn rate2.91 kg per km
Fuel burned1,326 kg
CO2, whole flight4.2 tonnes
Seats, typical layout150
Passengers carried124 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger34 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 34 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy132 seats, 110 flown
27 kg CO2 per seat
Business18 seats, 15 flown
79 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, AK1420 emits what 70 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 199 km, or 965 km of the same journey by train.

How this is worked out. Fuel burn is read from published measurements of this type, taken at a 3,984 km sector, the only published sector for this type, applied to this route's 455 km unadjusted. 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 AK1420 against another flight.
