UAE flights EX DXB - Lairyliam - 08-16-2015
Hello.
Some of the longer UAE flights ex DXB have some rather strange times for the EET;
For instance:
Daily :: Departs 2:50a :: Arrives 3:30p
Emirates - United Arab Emirates - "Emirates"
Departs: DXB / OMDB Dubai Intl
Arrives: PVG / ZSPD Pudong
Distance 3479 NM :: Duration 12 Hours 6 Mins
Flight No: 302 :: Equipment: 380 :: Last Update: 4 Jun 2015 12:05 UTC
Airline: UAE Emirates - United Arab Emirates - "Emirates"
All of the UAE flights that are around 3000-4000 miles long seen to state that they take 12+ hours when its more of 8-10 for that distance.
Just seems strange as some of the other flights that are not op by UAE in the list are closer to 6000 miles and take only an hour longer.
Daily :: Departs 9:55a :: Arrives 6:55a
Qantas Airways Ltd. Australia Qantas
Departs: DXB / OMDB Dubai Intl
Arrives: SYD / YSSY Kingsford Smith Intl
Distance 6499 NM :: Duration 13 Hours 46 Mins
Flight No: 2 :: Equipment: 380 :: Last Update: 31 Dec 2013 21:31 UTC
Airline: QFA Qantas Airways Ltd. Australia Qantas
thanks for any help/corrections..

Hello Liam,
I think these durations are coming from the FlightKiosk data. Need to look into this but something is definitely not right.
Re: UAE flights EX DXB - AS 2 Tom Little - 08-17-2015
Just found the error and corrected.
The good news is that going forward these should be correct now. The bad news is, any flight entered using the kiosk since opening has been incorrect.
So -a BIG thanks for pointing this error out and making things better at AirSource!

Re: UAE flights EX DXB - Leemazz - 08-17-2015
Also
The 767 Freighter has dissapeared from the database , i tried to add some flights yesterday with Equipment as 76Y and it rejected it so had to use 763
Re: UAE flights EX DXB - AS 2 Tom Little - 08-18-2015
Lee - 76Y added. Also can you give me airline/flights that you added and I will update them.
