| ROUTE | DISTANCE | RECOMMENDED | WHY |
|---|---|---|---|
| London → Tokyo | 5,200 nm | ACJ319 | Only one reaches non-stop — the other would need a fuel stop (5200 nm > 4,500 nm). |
| Riyadh → New York | 5,750 nm | ACJ319 | Only one reaches non-stop — the other would need a fuel stop (5750 nm > 4,500 nm). |
| Dubai → Sydney | 6,400 nm | ACJ319 | Only one reaches non-stop — the other would need a fuel stop (6400 nm > 4,500 nm). |
| Paris → Cape Town | 4,950 nm | ACJ319 | Only one reaches non-stop — the other would need a fuel stop (4950 nm > 4,500 nm). |
