SV301 route overview: JED to CAI

SV301 distance and great-circle path

SV301 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 Jeddah 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 JED–CAI route appears on a tracker map.

Why SV301 block time differs from cruise time

The schedule allows 2.4 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 503 km/h. An Airbus A330-300 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 A330-300 comfortably fly SV301?

Not at all. At roughly 10% of its range, this is an easy trip for an Airbus A330-300. The airline picked it for cabin size, not distance. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Airbus A330-300.

What to know about SV301
