EK500 route overview: DXB to BOM

EK500 distance and great-circle path

EK500 covers 1,926 km, or 1,197 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 325 by distance.

The plane leaves Dubai heading 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 DXB-BOM route appears on a tracker map.

Why EK500 block time differs from cruise time

The schedule allows 3.2 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 608 km/h. A Boeing 777-300ER cruises faster than that. The gap is taxi time, climbing, descending and holding.

Flying east, this route usually picks up tailwinds high up. The flight back west normally takes longer, even though the distance is identical. See what really moves flight times.

Can the Boeing 777-300ER comfortably fly EK500?

Not at all. At roughly 14% 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.

What to know about EK500

  • Time change: you land 2 hours ahead of the time you left.

EK500 activity in the past 7 days

Our database contains 7 observations of EK500 across 7 UTC dates in this window, most recently 2026-10-28. Those records contain 7 distinct transponder addresses.

The median recorded visibility was 26 minutes. That is time inside receiver coverage, not airborne duration or an on-time-performance measurement.

How much CO2 does EK500 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Boeing 777-300ER, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown1,926 km
AircraftBoeing 777-300ER
Fuel burn rate8.86 kg per km
Fuel burned17,062 kg
CO2, whole flight53.9 tonnes
Seats, typical layout365
Passengers carried303 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger178 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 178 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy299 seats, 248 flown
129 kg CO2 per seat
Business55 seats, 46 flown
375 kg CO2 per seat
First11 seats, 9 flown
517 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, EK500 emits what 899 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 1,047 km, or 5,084 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 10,199 km, 11,112 km and 13,334 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 EK500 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.
