IB6025 distance and great-circle path
IB6025 covers 8,380 km, or 5,207 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 130 by distance.
The plane leaves Madrid heading south-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 MAD-GRU route appears on a tracker map.
Why IB6025 block time differs from cruise time
The schedule allows 10.5 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 798 km/h. An Airbus A330-300 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 Airbus A330-300 comfortably fly IB6025?
Not really. It uses about 71% of the Airbus A330-300's range. That leaves room for a full load of passengers and bags. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Airbus A330-300.
