Great Circle Mapper shows that as over 3000 miles, clearly impossible for a 72S
even as the capital of Canada, Ottawa hasn't had an abundance of international/intercontinental service; to that end, I'll offer Winnipeg (YWG)
which at 2415 miles would have to be
one of the longest 72S routes on record
32. Yep and I'll bet the Air Canada B727-200 flight crew watched their fuel state very closely when adverse winds aloft were present between Winnipeg and Montego Bay. Here's the sched.....
AC 970: Calgary (YYC) 1:55p - 4:41p Winnipeg (YWG) 5:15p - 11:05p Montego Bay (MBJ)
Freq: Saturdays only
Service classes: F/Y
Meal service: Lunch YYC-YWG, Dinner YWG-MBJ
Equip: 72S
