FR554 route overview: DUB to MAN

FR554 distance and great-circle path

FR554 covers 264 km, or 164 miles. That makes it a short-haul flight, a single-aisle hop where turnaround time matters more than range. Of the 299 routes we track, it ranks 298 by distance.

Dublin and Manchester are close neighbours by air: 264 km east, short enough that the aircraft spends a real share of the trip climbing and descending rather than cruising. Dublin and Manchester keep the same clock, so the arrival time on the ticket is the flight time plus the departure time, with nothing to convert. It links Ireland with United Kingdom.

Our guide explains how the DUB-MAN route appears on a tracker map.

Can the Boeing 737-800 comfortably fly FR554?

Not at all. At roughly 5% of its range, this is an easy trip for a Boeing 737-800. The airline picked it for cabin size, not distance. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Boeing 737-800.

What we know about FR554

What flying DUB to MAN takes

This is a short hop, and the economics work differently: turnaround time dominates the economics; the aircraft may fly this sector four or five times a day. Ryanair would normally roster a regional jet or a small narrowbody for it. In daylight the sun sits on the right (south-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 RYR554 through adsbdb, not a schedule copied from elsewhere. We have logged it airborne on 9 days between 2026-09-20 and 2026-10-01. 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.

FR554 activity in the past 7 days

Our database contains 5 observations of FR554 across 5 UTC dates in this window, most recently 2026-10-01. Those records contain 5 distinct transponder addresses. The most frequently resolved route was DUB-MAN (5 records).

The median recorded visibility was 53 minutes. That is time inside receiver coverage, not airborne duration or an on-time-performance measurement.

How much CO2 does FR554 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Boeing 737-800, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown264 km
AircraftBoeing 737-800
Fuel burn rate3.59 kg per km
Fuel burned947 kg
CO2, whole flight3.0 tonnes
Seats, typical layout162
Passengers carried134 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger22 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 22 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy143 seats, 119 flown
18 kg CO2 per seat
Business19 seats, 16 flown
52 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, FR554 emits what 50 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 131 km, or 638 km of the same journey by train.

How this is worked out. Fuel burn is read from published measurements of this type, taken at a 926 km sector, the only published sector for this type, applied to this route's 264 km unadjusted. 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 FR554 against another flight.
