U2231 route overview: LGW to GVA

U2231 distance and great-circle path

U2231 covers 715 km, or 444 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 400 by distance.

The plane leaves London heading south-east. 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 LGW-GVA route appears on a tracker map.

Why U2231 block time differs from cruise time

The schedule allows 1.8 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 409 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 U2231?

Not at all. At roughly 12% 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.

How much CO2 does U2231 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 flown715 km
AircraftAirbus A320
Fuel burn rate2.91 kg per km
Fuel burned2,084 kg
CO2, whole flight6.6 tonnes
Seats, typical layout150
Passengers carried124 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger53 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 53 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy132 seats, 110 flown
43 kg CO2 per seat
Business18 seats, 15 flown
124 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, U2231 emits what 110 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 312 km, or 1,517 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 715 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 U2231 against another flight.
