Longest scheduled ATR route
Hi,
Solenta Aviation regulary flies the ATR 42 for DHL between Dakar, Senegal (DKR) and Abidjan, Ivory Coast (ABJ), a distance of 982 miles and between 4.5 and 5.2 block time! I guess this has to be longest scheduled ATR run in the world but anybody knows of a longer one or comparable?
Thanks!

Air Kiribati used to fly an ATR-72- 200 to Nadi, Fiji from Bonriki, which is about 1171 nm or 1350 sm away. It took about 5 hours.
Not surprisingly it nearly sent them broke, and she's off back to Marseille.

Just curious as to why they wouldnt use a small jet for these trips? (i used to fly Glasgow - Dublin, which is about 175 SM, and was never in anything smaller than a 146)
surly makes more sense, or is that the point?
