@ davidjohnson6: Yes, I did look at Delta's site before asking my question.They indicate a non-stop. I did however get an indication that they operate the flight direct non-stop on some days and with a stop in Dakar on others but both are given as non-stop. Guess they see that stop only as a "quick" fuel stop. I know other airlines do and did the same on the same route but that was more because of range.
@ jabird: I did do my homework but couldn't get a definitive answer so I thought I'd ask the question to people who are in the know. The route is about 8450SM (7345NM rouded up) and the B77L can go 9380NM but it is pusing the crew. I was aware of the direct non-stop info but thank you for it anyway.
It ranks as the 5 longest non-stop service if memory serves correct, longest being 18h30. I was just wondering if they do, as I mentioned before, really fly the route direct and non-stop now (everyday) or still do the stop on certain days? As I said, I know some airlines give the flight as a non-stop even though they actually do stop in Dakar as the pax aren't allowed to disembark and crew is usaully swopped for the remaining leg with ones that were on-board. Was just curious as the Arrilval times I got on diffirent sites were diffirent for the same day and same flight and no route info. Asked Delta but got no reply, so thus my question is here. Thank you for the info though. Much appreciated.
