Operational context
The Lyon – Helsinki sector links Lyon Saint-Exupéry (LFLL) to Helsinki-Vantaa (EFHK) over 2,080 km great-circle, about 2h43 airborne in a Falcon 2000LXS. The constraint here is rarely range but slot and parking availability at Helsinki-Vantaa (3500 m runway). At this range a Falcon 2000LXS avoids a tech stop and preserves cabin comfort.
