6E17 route overview: BOM to IST

6E17 distance and great-circle path

6E17 covers 4,834 km, or 3,004 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 233 by distance.

The plane leaves Mumbai 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 BOM-IST route appears on a tracker map.

Why 6E17 block time differs from cruise time

The schedule allows 6.6 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 734 km/h. A Boeing 777-300ER cruises faster than that. The gap is taxi time, climbing, descending and holding.

Flying west, this route pushes against the wind. The trip back east is usually shorter, even though the distance is the same. See how high-altitude winds behave in our guide to turbulence and jet streams.

Can the Boeing 777-300ER comfortably fly 6E17?

Not at all. At roughly 35% of its range, this is an easy trip for a Boeing 777-300ER. The airline picked it for cabin size, not distance. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Boeing 777-300ER.

How much CO2 does 6E17 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Boeing 777-300ER, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown4,834 km
AircraftBoeing 777-300ER
Fuel burn rate8.86 kg per km
Fuel burned42,824 kg
CO2, whole flight135.3 tonnes
Seats, typical layout365
Passengers carried303 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger447 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 447 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy299 seats, 248 flown
324 kg CO2 per seat
Business55 seats, 46 flown
940 kg CO2 per seat
First11 seats, 9 flown
1,297 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, 6E17 emits what 2,255 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 2,627 km, or 12,761 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 10,199 km, 11,112 km and 13,334 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 6E17 against another flight.
