Can the Boeing 767-300ER comfortably fly DL980?

Not at all. At roughly 31% of its range, this is an easy trip for a Boeing 767-300ER. The airline picked it for cabin size, not distance. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Boeing 767-300ER.

What to know about DL980

  • 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.

What we know about DL980

What flying BOG to ATL takes

Altitude, not distance, is the constraint here: Bogotá sits at 8,361 ft, where thin air lengthens the takeoff run and cuts climb performance. Delta Air Lines needs a narrowbody on the longer variants, or a widebody where demand justifies it, and at this distance the choice is usually about seat count rather than range. The two ends are not symmetric. Bogotá is roughly 7,335 ft higher than the other airport, so the same aircraft is planned differently in each direction.

How we verified this

The origin and destination on this page are the ones we verified for callsign DAL980 through adsbdb, not a schedule copied from elsewhere. We have logged it airborne on 32 days between 2026-09-20 and 2026-10-21. Timings are observations, not an official operational status: always confirm with the airline before travelling.

This page was published from our own tracking record rather than a third-party schedule feed, so it grows as we see the flight again. The seven-day log below is the raw version of the same evidence.

DL980 activity in the past 7 days

Our database contains 7 observations of DL980 across 7 UTC dates in this window, most recently 2026-10-21. Those records contain 6 distinct transponder addresses. The most frequently resolved route was BOG-ATL (7 records).

The median recorded visibility was 280 minutes. That is time inside receiver coverage, not airborne duration or an on-time-performance measurement.

How much CO2 does DL980 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Boeing 767-300ER, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown3,389 km
AircraftBoeing 767-300ER
Fuel burn rate5.38 kg per km
Fuel burned18,243 kg
CO2, whole flight57.6 tonnes
Seats, typical layout218
Passengers carried181 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger318 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 318 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy179 seats, 149 flown
229 kg CO2 per seat
Business33 seats, 27 flown
665 kg CO2 per seat
First7 seats, 6 flown
918 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, DL980 emits what 961 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 1,874 km, or 9,100 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 3,984 km and 5,556 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 DL980 against another flight.
