Operational context
The Istanbul – Nantes sector links Istanbul Atatürk (LTBA) to Nantes Atlantique (LFRS) over 2,508 km great-circle, about 3h13 airborne in a Falcon 2000LXS. The constraint here is rarely range but slot and parking availability at Nantes Atlantique (2900 m runway). At this range a Falcon 2000LXS avoids a tech stop and preserves cabin comfort.
