One of Jetstar&rsquo;s Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners had been stuck in Melbourne since late July, needing new thrust-reverser components for its big GEnx engines. Those parts were in Prestwick. Rather than route them through the usual patchwork of connecting freighters, the fastest way to get a wide-body flying again was to charter a dedicated 777F and send it straight there.<\/p>\r\n<p>It is an expensive way to move a box of parts &mdash; but a grounded Dreamliner costs an airline far more every day it sits. For once, the cheapest option really was to fly nearly 10,000 miles without stopping.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-style:italic;color:#777;font-size:14px\">Sources: National Airlines, AeroTime, Airliner World, Simple Flying, Flightradar24.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f0f4ff;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:16px 20px;margin:32px 0 8px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:600;color:#333\">Related Posts<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/qantas-double-sunrise-catalina-longest-flight\/\">Qantas&rsquo;s Secret Double Sunrise Flights<\/a><\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/convair-990-coronado-fastest-jetliner\/\">The Fastest Jetliner Ever Built - and a Sales Flop<\/a><\/p><\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Somewhere over the Indian Ocean last week, a Boeing 777 Freighter was doing something faintly absurd: flying a set of engine parts almost 10,000 nautical miles, nonstop, because a single airliner on the other side of the planet could not fly without them.
