MS911 distance and great-circle path
MS911 covers 1,217 km, or 756 miles. That makes it a short-haul flight, a single-aisle hop where turnaround time matters more than range. Of the 255 routes we track, it ranks 219 by distance.
The plane leaves Cairo heading south-east. 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–JED route appears on a tracker map.
Why MS911 block time differs from cruise time
The schedule allows 2.2 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 541 km/h. A Boeing 777-300ER 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 777-300ER comfortably fly MS911?
Not at all. At roughly 9% 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.
