Follow MH250 in real time

The aircraft appears below whenever it is airborne and inside receiver coverage. Its planned route is drawn between the two airports.

MH250 is not transmitting right now. It may be between rotations, on the ground, or out of receiver range - Check back near departure time. The full map has the rest of the sky, and what is flying over me will name whatever is above you instead.

MH250 route overview: SYD to KUL

MH250 distance and great-circle path

MH250 covers 6,584 km, or 4,091 miles. That makes it a long-haul flight, a widebody route with a full night's flying time. Of the 331 routes we track, it ranks 154 by distance.

This flight changes hemisphere. Sydney sits in the southern half of the world and Kuala Lumpur in the northern, so the 6,584 km run north-west lands in the opposite season to the one it left. Watches move 3 hours back between the two gates. It links Australia with Malaysia.

Our guide explains how the SYD-KUL route appears on a tracker map.

Can the Airbus A330-300 comfortably fly MH250?

Not really. It uses about 56% 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.

What we know about MH250

What flying SYD to KUL takes

It is a long-haul sector, a widebody route with a full night's flying time. Malaysia Airlines needs a widebody twinjet: the sector needs long-range tanks and a cabin crew rest provision, which rules out most single-aisle types. Westbound, this route pushes into the prevailing winds aloft, which is why the eastbound leg is normally the quicker one. In daylight the sun sits on the right (north-facing) side of the cabin for most of the crossing.

How we verified this

The origin and destination on this page are the ones we verified for callsign MAS250 through adsbdb, not a schedule copied from elsewhere. We have logged it airborne on 22 days between 2026-09-19 and 2026-10-10. 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.

MH250 activity in the past 7 days

Our database contains 8 observations of MH250 across 8 UTC dates in this window, most recently 2026-10-10. Those records contain 5 distinct transponder addresses. The most frequently resolved route was SYD-KUL (8 records).

The median recorded visibility was 1403 minutes. That is time inside receiver coverage, not airborne duration or an on-time-performance measurement.

How much CO2 does MH250 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Airbus A330-300, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown6,584 km
AircraftAirbus A330-300
Fuel burn rate6.37 kg per km
Fuel burned41,931 kg
CO2, whole flight132.5 tonnes
Seats, typical layout277
Passengers carried230 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger576 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 576 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy227 seats, 188 flown
417 kg CO2 per seat
Business42 seats, 35 flown
1,210 kg CO2 per seat
First8 seats, 7 flown
1,669 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, MH250 emits what 2,208 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 3,389 km, or 16,460 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 5,556 km and 10,275 km, interpolated to this route's 6,584 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 MH250 against another flight.

Data sources and review

Reviewed 2026-07-29 by Flight-Tracker.net Editorial Team

The route and typical schedule are maintained reference data. Live ADS-B observations are evidence of receiver coverage, not proof of on-time performance. Always confirm the operating date and times with the airline.
