Van Nuys (KVNY) → Dubai (OMDB)

The route from Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles to Dubai International Airport covers 7,220 nautical miles, or approximately 8,309 statute miles. This is an ultra-long-range transpacific and transcontinental crossing that traverses North America, the Pacific Ocean, and Asia before arriving in the Middle East.

Aircraft suitable for this distance are limited to long-range business jets and large-cabin aircraft capable of transoceanic flight. Typical flight duration for this routing is approximately 16 to 18 hours of block time, depending on specific aircraft performance, prevailing winds, and actual routing filed with air traffic control.

Charter clients should note that flights of this distance typically require one or more crew rest stops or refueling points. Operational planning must account for international airspace coordination, overflight permits for multiple countries, and the extended crew duty considerations mandated by aviation regulations. Advanced booking is essential due to the complexity of international flight clearances and available aircraft positioning on routes of this length.

No common business-jet category flies this leg nonstop with standard reserves.
