Funny that. I looked up the exact same data using the exact same sources to
come up with the same answer, which also prompted the same question.Are you a
pilot by any chance?Is "exact same" an example of tautology or just bad
English? Help me here.I flew direct from Columbus, Ohio to Malta once. Had an
in-flight hydraulic failure before the Canadian border but carried on. Yet
medals were there none. (It was empty and going into maintenance at MLA anyway?
Blue pump low pressure for those interested, which is the system the RAT uses
on the A320 but not on the A330, which we were in. (Just to link two threads
together. Is "link together" also tautology? I must refresh my
grammar).Simon(Still struggling in the shadow of Shakespeare. There you go.
From illiteracy to alliteration. Only on Mifnet).

gcmap.com says the distance from JFK to MLA is 3997 NM. Airbus advertises
the range of the -XLR at 4700 NM. Is that a no-wind range? How will it cope
with the winter time jet stream going westbound?

Malta is booming as a business and tourist destination. There is nothing
"iffy" about a direct flight there, in my mind, and my proof is that Delta is
dedicating B767-300s to the route; it wouldn't surprise me if it becomes
year-round with A321XLR.
