UAE flights EX DXB

Postby Lairyliam » 16 Aug 2015 19:58

Hello.

Some of the longer UAE flights ex DXB have some rather strange times for the EET;

For instance:
Daily :: Departs 2:50a :: Arrives 3:30p
Emirates - United Arab Emirates - "Emirates"
Departs: DXB / OMDB Dubai Intl
Arrives: PVG / ZSPD Pudong

Distance 3479 NM :: Duration 12 Hours 6 Mins

Flight No: 302 :: Equipment: 380 :: Last Update: 4 Jun 2015 12:05 UTC

Airline: UAE Emirates - United Arab Emirates - "Emirates"

All of the UAE flights that are around 3000-4000 miles long seen to state that they take 12+ hours when its more of 8-10 for that distance.

Just seems strange as some of the other flights that are not op by UAE in the list are closer to 6000 miles and take only an hour longer.

Daily :: Departs 9:55a :: Arrives 6:55a
Qantas Airways Ltd. Australia Qantas
Departs: DXB / OMDB Dubai Intl
Arrives: SYD / YSSY Kingsford Smith Intl

Distance 6499 NM :: Duration 13 Hours 46 Mins

Flight No: 2 :: Equipment: 380 :: Last Update: 31 Dec 2013 21:31 UTC

Airline: QFA Qantas Airways Ltd. Australia Qantas

thanks for any help/corrections..

Hello Liam,

I think these durations are coming from the FlightKiosk data. Need to look into this but something is definitely not right.

Just found the error and corrected.

The good news is that going forward these should be correct now. The bad news is, any flight entered using the kiosk since opening has been incorrect.

So -a BIG thanks for pointing this error out and making things better at AirSource!
