Departing from Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, the Airbus A321 began its takeoff roll on runway 33, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 146 kt in 709 meters, which represented 22% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 11 °C and a gentle wind of 3 kt from 182°, resulting in a 2 kt tailwind component. The aircraft lifted off and began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile southwest of Langenhorn, a suburb of Hamburg. The climb phase was notable for its steep ascent, reaching an altitude of 4,010 ft asl in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nm.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 24 nm. This phase was initiated approximately 1 mile south of Kisdorf, a town in the Schleswig-Holstein region of Germany. The cruise altitude was maintained at 4,010 ft asl, allowing the aircraft to conserve fuel and optimize its performance. The enroute descent phase began approximately 1 mile west of Heidmoor, where the aircraft started its descent from 4,006 ft asl to 1,406 ft asl, a decrease of 2,600 ft in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nm.

The final approach to runway 15 at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 153.0° at 4 nm and 1,357 ft agl. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 132 kt, and the touchdown distance was good at 411 m, representing 48% of the runway's length. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 126 kt, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 47 nm, and the flight duration was 18 minutes, with a fuel consumption of -5,846 kg.
