Longhaul planes
Which airlines now have longhaul planes and how are they used?
A340-500:
Singapore (as far as SIN-EWR, being refitted from 181 seats, 64 business, 117 premium economy to 100 seat all business)
Thai (includes the one and only HGW; as far as BKK-JFK; IIRC 215 seats, 60 business, 42 premium economy, 113 economy; no news of being refitted)
Emirates (has first class suites)
Etihad
TAM
B777-200LR:
PIA (business, premium economy and economy)
Air India (238 seats in 8F, 35J, 195Y; has BOM-JFK and DEL-JFK)
Emirates
Air Canada
Delta (276 seats in 43J, 233Y... no First Class, while Air India has exactly 43 seats in First and Business combined... BOM-JFK is flown by both Air India and Delta with exact same planes)
I think Eva Air has had no deliveries yet.
What are the longest routes of each longhaul plane operator other than SQ and Thai mentioned above?
777-200LR is supposed to have longer range than 340-500. How come that no 777-200LR operator seems to fly any longer routes than SQ and TG are doing on A340-500?
How do the ranges of B747-400ER, A340-600HGW, B777-300ER and A380-800 compare?

Mate,
Thousands of airlines have thousands of longhaul planes!!!!
Do you mean what airlines have "Ultra Long Range" planes???? Any plane that can fly nonstop for more than six hours can be considered a "Long Haul" plane!
