EY11 route overview: AUH to LHR

EY11 distance and great-circle path

EY11 covers 5,516 km, or 3,428 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 218 by distance.

The plane leaves Abu Dhabi 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 AUH-LHR route appears on a tracker map.

Why EY11 block time differs from cruise time

The schedule allows 7.5 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 735 km/h. An Airbus A380-800 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 high-altitude winds behave in our guide to turbulence and jet streams.

Can the Airbus A380-800 comfortably fly EY11?

Not at all. At roughly 37% of its range, this is an easy trip for an Airbus A380-800. The airline picked it for cabin size, not distance. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Airbus A380-800.

How much CO2 does EY11 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Airbus A380, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown5,516 km
AircraftAirbus A380-800
Fuel burn rate13.68 kg per km
Fuel burned75,441 kg
CO2, whole flight238.4 tonnes
Seats, typical layout525
Passengers carried436 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger547 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 547 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy410 seats, 340 flown
371 kg CO2 per seat
Business89 seats, 74 flown
1,076 kg CO2 per seat
First26 seats, 22 flown
1,484 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, EY11 emits what 3,973 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 3,216 km, or 15,622 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 3,704 km, 11,112 km and 13,334 km, interpolated to this route's 5,516 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 EY11 against another flight.
