Main Air Transport Service Ranges (From New York)
There are three main air transport ranges serviced by different
types of aircrafts:
- Regional. Regional aircrafts such as the airbus A319/320/321,
the Boeing 737 and the Embraer E190/195, with an operational range
of about 4,000 km, were designed to service destinations within
a continent. From New York, most of North America can be reached.
This range can be applied to the European continent, South America,
East Asia and Africa. These types of aircraft, that can carry up between
100 and 200 passengers, are also used for high demand regional services
needing several flights a day, enabling to improve the quality of
service by offering customers high frequency levels.
- International. The Boeing 757/767/777 and the Airbus
A330, with a range from 7,000 km to 10,000 km, can link one continent
to another. From New York, it is possible to reach Western Europe
and most of South America.
- Intercontinental. The Boeing 747-400, 777-200ER, A340
and the recent A380 with a range between 12,000 km and 15,000
km, can reach from New York any destination around the world
with the exception Australia. With an A350-500 a nonstop service
between New York and Singapore is offered, which is the world's
longest. The 747 has a smaller range with Japan and Korea within
range of New York.
