During the departure roll on runway 25C, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 192 kt and departed after using 2,142 m of runway, representing 59 % of the available length; ambient temperature was 41 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 269°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.

The initial climb began 1 mile west of VHHH, where the airplane rose from 1,000 ft asl to 14,947 ft asl, an altitude gain of 13,948 ft achieved in 9 minutes while traversing 49 nm.

A short level segment followed 2 nm south-east of Hong Kong, lasting 3 minutes and extending the flight by 21 nm.

The next climb segment started 3 nm north-east of Shenzhen, climbing from 15,004 ft asl to 27,998 ft asl, a gain of 12,994 ft in 12 minutes over a distance of 93 nm.

Subsequently the aircraft entered a long cruise phase 2 nm north-east of Qingyuan, maintaining level flight for 500 minutes and covering 4,241 nm.

A further climb commenced 5 nm north-east of UEnye (Ordu, Turkey), raising the altitude from 28,000 ft asl to 33,944 ft asl, an increase of 5,944 ft in 5 minutes while progressing 41 nm.

The following cruise leg originated 4 nm east of Samsun, lasting 155 minutes and adding 1,179 nm to the route.

Descent began overhead Weissenburg in Bayern, where the aircraft descended from 33,873 ft asl to 8,721 ft asl, a loss of 25,153 ft in 18 minutes across 117 nm.

A brief level segment over Dienheim in Rheinland-Pfalz lasted 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

The final descent segment started again over Dienheim, dropping from 8,721 ft asl to 1,502 ft asl, a decrease of 7,219 ft in 8 minutes while traveling 29 nm.

On final approach to runway 07R at Frankfurt Airport, the aircraft aligned on a heading of 70.0° from the south-west, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,147 ft agl.

Landing was executed on runway 07R, whose length is 3,987 m; the threshold speed was 141 kt, touchdown occurred 261 m down the runway at the same speed, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 250 fpm; runway conditions were reported as good and the alignment was perfect. Local weather at the time was 27 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 60°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind component.

Runway rollout alignment was described as very good, and the aircraft came to a stop after traveling a total landing distance of 2,019 m, equivalent to 51 % of the runway length.

The airplane taxied from the runway to the parking area in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 5,783 nm, required 730 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 110,471 kg of fuel.
