The Boeing 737 MAX 8 has a range of approximately 3,550 nautical miles (6,570 km). This allows it to operate on medium-haul and some long-haul international routes, thanks to its improved fuel efficiency compared to previous models.
Definitions:
Medium-haul 1,500 to 4,000 km
Long-haul more than 6 - 7 hours and more than 4,000 km.
My flight from Banjul to Istanbul covers a distance of 5,367 km. It is a long-haul flight. This particular aircraft with reg. TC LCN is the very one I'm flying on. It was delivered to Turkish Airlines in June 2021. This is the first time I'm flying on such a long flight on a relatively small airliner.
