MS777 route overview: CAI to LHR

MS777 distance and great-circle path

MS777 covers 3,532 km, or 2,195 miles. That makes it a medium-haul flight, long enough for a full meal service, short enough for narrowbodies. Of the 439 routes we track, it ranks 268 by distance.

The plane leaves Cairo 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 CAI-LHR route appears on a tracker map.

Why MS777 block time differs from cruise time

The schedule allows 5.4 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 652 km/h. A Boeing 787-9 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 Boeing 787-9 comfortably fly MS777?

Not at all. At roughly 25% of its range, this is an easy trip for a Boeing 787-9. The airline picked it for cabin size, not distance. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Boeing 787-9.

MS777 activity in the past 7 days

Our database contains 8 observations of MS777 across 8 UTC dates in this window, most recently 2026-10-29. Those records contain 4 distinct transponder addresses.

The median recorded visibility was 263 minutes. That is time inside receiver coverage, not airborne duration or an on-time-performance measurement.

How much CO2 does MS777 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Boeing 787-9, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown3,532 km
AircraftBoeing 787-9 Dreamliner
Fuel burn rate5.78 kg per km
Fuel burned20,397 kg
CO2, whole flight64.5 tonnes
Seats, typical layout290
Passengers carried241 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger267 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 267 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy238 seats, 198 flown
193 kg CO2 per seat
Business44 seats, 37 flown
561 kg CO2 per seat
First9 seats, 7 flown
774 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, MS777 emits what 1,074 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 1,573 km, or 7,641 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 6,204 km, 9,208 km and 12,116 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 MS777 against another flight.

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.
