Follow MS83 in real time

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

MS83 is not transmitting right now. It may be between rotations, on the ground, or out of receiver range - Check back near 06:15 at CAI. The full map has the rest of the sky, and what is flying over me will name whatever is above you instead.

  • Your watch: no change, both cities share a clock.
  • Window seat tip: either side works on this heading.

  • When it goes: out of CAI in early morning, into LXR in early morning.

MS83 route overview: CAI to LXR

MS83 distance and great-circle path

MS83 covers 511 km, or 318 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 411 by distance.

The plane leaves Cairo heading south. 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-LXR route appears on a tracker map.

Why MS83 block time differs from cruise time

The schedule allows 1.1 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 472 km/h. An Airbus A220-300 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 what really moves flight times.

Can the Airbus A220-300 comfortably fly MS83?

Not at all. At roughly 8% of its range, this is an easy trip for an Airbus A220-300. The airline picked it for cabin size, not distance. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Airbus A220-300.

What to know about MS83

  • Time change: none. Both cities keep the same clock, so arrival time reads exactly as you expect.

How much CO2 does MS83 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Airbus A220-300, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown511 km
AircraftAirbus A220-300
Fuel burn rate2.85 kg per km
Fuel burned1,458 kg
CO2, whole flight4.6 tonnes
Seats, typical layout130
Passengers carried108 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger43 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 43 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy114 seats, 95 flown
35 kg CO2 per seat
Business16 seats, 13 flown
101 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, MS83 emits what 77 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 251 km, or 1,219 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 926 km and 3,704 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 MS83 against another flight.
