Flight time at different cruise speeds
Aircraft type, winds and routing all move the real number. This is the same distance flown at different speeds, plus the 25-minute ground and climb allowance.
| Typical of | Cruise speed | Airborne | Gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turboprop / regional | 550 km/h | 45m | 1h 10m |
| Narrowbody jet (A320, 737) | 780 km/h | 32m | 57m |
| Widebody jet (777, 787, A350) | 900 km/h | 27m | 53m |
| Private jet (Gulfstream) | 850 km/h | 29m | 54m |
