Operational context
The Los Angeles – Lyon sector links Van Nuys (KVNY) to Lyon Saint-Exupéry (LFLL) over 9,476 km great-circle, about 10h46 airborne in a Gulfstream G650ER. The constraint here is rarely range but slot and parking availability at Lyon Saint-Exupéry (4000 m runway). At this range a Gulfstream G650ER avoids a tech stop and preserves cabin comfort.
