How much fuel is needed
Hi all,
I'm working on a project and I was wondering if someone could help me on working out how much fuel would be required and the appox cost to operate a flight from Dublin to Daytona?
The passenger aircraft type used would be a 767-300 with 275 people onboard, each passenger would be taking 30 kilos of luggage.
or is there a site you could recommend in order for me to obtain this information?
Thanks in advance!

Is this for real or just a paper exercise?
Titan Airways at Stansted have a B767-300 that seats 265 pax. *Fuel costs would be dependent on routing and weather conditions on the day avoiding the worst Jet -Stream Headwinds when Westbound and maintaining legal ETOPS *limits.*
This would be predicted by Jetplan Computers and finally decided on by the Captain on the day with regard to destination and alternate diversion airports weather forecasts etc.*
If for real you can find Titan's website via Google.
( I have no connection whatsoever with Titan but have worked with them in the past)

TIF ...... 50130 09.45

Here's a ballpark figure for a 767-300 with approx 230 pax and baggage flying a similar route but avoiding a jetstream over the Atlantic. GC distance approx 3500nm but actual dist 3990.
