Ek A340-500 Fuel
Just wondering.....
My sister flew back from SYD-DXB today on the EK413.
Flight time was said to be 14hrs 16mins.
Severe fog meant the aircraft held off from landing for an extra 40mins or so.
If the Rolls Royce Engines on the A340-500 burn 3000kgs per hour per engine and the flight was approx 15hrs long then that would be around 180tons of fuel.
I know the Max TO wgt is around the same as a 747-400, Basic weight being around 161000 kgs.
My question is how much fuel would have been put on in sydney.
What is a typical Ramp fuel, Trip fuel for this route.
When i worked at sydney airport i know the LMC was literally only a few hundred kilos on the syd-dxb routes.
