Your otherwise excellent comments on the also excellent Astraeus are marred by the incorrect claim that they are the operator of the longest B737 service in the world.

That esteem lies with PrivatAir who operate MUC EWR (4000nm + ) - every day - on a B737 700IGW. This fleet also has by far the highest B737 utilisation in the world at 15 hrs per day.

They also holdthe highest utilisation A319 fleet in the world, at almost 16 hrs per day.



Crashy here - and sorry for the ‘in-line’ edit - what I actually wrote above was 'the worlds longest non-stop B737 'scheduled' service'.
This is achieved with a bog-standard B737-700 ( and not one that is IGW ) and wherein if one wants a ticket to Malabo then please contact Jet Air ( albeit that these are very much limited to bonafide employees of the 'energy supply' industry ). That said, I fully acknowledge that certain B737-700-IGW & B737-BJ operators can well exceed the distance that this particular Astraeus service achieves.
