Longest flights

Over time, commercial airlines have established a number of scheduled ultra long-haulnon-stop flights.These exceptionally long routes reduce the travel time between distant city pairs as well as the number of stops needed for passengers' travels, thereby increasing passenger convenience.[1]For an airline, choosing to operate long flights can also build brand image as well as loyalty among a set of flyers.[2]Therefore, competition among airlines to establish the longest flight occurs.[3]

Definition

edit

Measurement method

edit

The length of a flight can be defined in different ways.[4]The most common standard flight length measurement is bygreat-circle distance,a formula that calculates the shortest distance across the curvature of the earth for two airports'ARPs.[5]It is the only measurement that is constant on a given city-pair route and unaffected by operational variances.[6]For this reason it is the standard for communicating commercial aviation flight length and is used by governing agencies like ICAO,[7]flight schedule providers,[8][9][10]and airlines themselves.[11]

Alternative definitions

edit

For the sake of disambiguation, other terms used in reference to alternative definitions of "longest flights" (and also incur operational variance) include:

  • Flight time– (the total time of a flight's operation) which varies based on multiple operational variables including: headings flown (see ground distance below), equipment capabilities, or even air traffic congestion (e.g.,NAT-OTSandairport holding patterns).[12]
    • A subvariant of this is "Flight endurance"which is used in referring to a specific operated flight, usually recorded with observers,specialized equipment,or other such formal arrangements that are not commonly found in commercial flights.[13]
    • Flight scheduled timeis another commonly reported figure that refers to the duration of a flight, published by a flight's operator. This is an unrelated/unreliable figure that incorporates further additional variables by airlines to reflect their operations and manage customer expectations that allow for variation in boarding procedures, anticipated time of day ground congestion, and even time allocated for remote stand operations).[14][15]
  • Ground distance traveled– Measuring of the actual ground distance covered by a flight (using routing that is not entirely on a great-circle route and therefore greater). Flights commonly fly non-great-circle routes for operational reasons such as: favorable winds/meteorological conditions, regulatory/political restrictions, safety/equipment constraints (such asASHTAMsandETOPS limitations), or even cost savings (optimization ofoverflight payments).[16][17]

Flight types

edit

There are numerous different types of flights globally operated by differentaircraftfor different industries and purposes. The term "longest flight" is most commonly used in reference to flights that arecommercial,passenger, and scheduled, such that the flight details are published and tickets are available for purchase.[18]

While the term "longest flight" is most commonly used in reference to non-stop flights, direct flights with stops (same flight number used for the full journey) might also be compared on some occasions.[19]

Current longest route

By great-circle distance

edit

Since November 9, 2020, the longest active scheduled passenger flight bygreat-circle distanceisSingapore Airlines Flights 23 and 24[20]using anAirbus A350-900ULRbetweenSingaporeandNew York–JFKat 15,349 kilometres (9,537 mi; 8,288 nmi).[21]

The longest ever scheduled passenger flight wasAir Tahiti Nui'sflight TN64using aBoeing 787-9,flying non-stop fromFaaʻa International AirportinPapeete,TahititoParis–CDG,[22]a distance of 15,715 kilometres (9,765 mi; 8,485 nmi) in a scheduled duration of 16 hours, 20 minutes.[23]This route was operated from March to April 2020.[24][25][26]

This route was previously operated with a refueling stop atLos Angeles International Airport,where all passengers would disembark the aircraft and pass throughUnited States Customs & Border Protectionbefore re-boarding and continuing to Paris. However, to comply withCOVID-19 pandemicrestrictions banning European travelers from entering the United States,[27]the airline opted not to stop at Los Angeles during its flights in March–April 2020. The route was also made possible by the aircraft's reduced passenger load of about 150 passengers,[28]which eliminated the need to refuel. This route also set a record for theworld's longest domestic passenger flight,as it flew between French territories.

By ground distance traveled

edit

Routings may avoidgreat-circle routes,despite their shorter ground distance, for a variety of reasons, for example to avoid headwinds and/or use tailwinds to save time and fuel.[4]

Since November 9, 2020, the two longest flights (measured by ground distance traveled) areSingapore Airlines'flights SQ23 (second longest) and SQ24 (longest) betweenSingapore-ChangiandNew York–JFKin the U.S. Both of these flights have a geometrically optimal great-circle route near theNorth Poleof approximately 15,350 km (9,540 mi; 8,290 nmi). However, SQ24 to New York is typically flown a ground distance of around 17,250 km (10,720 mi; 9,310 nmi)[29]over the Pacific Ocean wherejet streamscan assist; while SQ23 back to Singapore sometimes opts, instead of the westward polar route, to fly a ground distance of 16,500 km (10,300 mi; 8,900 nmi)[30]eastward, across the Atlantic Ocean, when favorable jet streams winds are available to save both flying time and fuel.

Similarly, the twoAir Indiaflights fromNew DelhitoSan Francisco,AI173[31]and AI183,[32]fly an eastward ground distance of about 15,110 km (9,390 mi; 8,160 nmi) over the Pacific Ocean instead of a shorter westward great-circle route of about 13,300 km (8,300 mi; 7,200 nmi) over theAtlantic Ocean,to avoid prevailing westerly headwinds and save almost two hours of flying time.[33]Both these flights can travel with some variation in ground distance, with a report of 15,300 km (9,500 mi; 8,300 nmi) for the first such flight in 2016,[34]and it is not unheard of for particular flights to cover more than 16,000 km (9,900 mi; 8,600 nmi).[35]

Cathay Pacificflights fromHong KongtoNew York–JFKwill also sometimes fly 15,000 km (9,300 mi; 8,100 nmi) ground routes, instead of a 12,984 km (8,068 mi; 7,011 nmi) great-circle route, for the same reason.[36]

After theRussian invasion of Ukrainein early 2022, aircraft registered in or operated by multiple countries, including theEuropean Unionmember states, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Switzerland, were banned from using Russian airspace. As a result, a number of flights from Japan to Europe now fly using a polar route over Alaska and northern Canada. For example,Swiss International Air Linesflight LX161 fromTokyo–NaritatoZurichoften flies this route, sometimes covering a ground distance of 13,400 km (8,326 mi; 7,235 nmi)[37]or longer, compared to a great-circle distance of 9,618 km (5,976 mi; 5,193 nmi).

History

edit

Since the first scheduled commercial passenger flight in 1914 that covered 34 kilometres (21 mi; 18 nmi),[38][39]records for the longest flight (by great-circle distance) were rapidly set and continue to be set today.

1920s and 1930s

edit
The Pan Am Martin M-130 'Hawaii Clipper' that flew the first commercial transpacific flight

The longest non-stop commercial flights of the 1930s were operated by flying boats, which were the predominant aircraft type of the time for long-range flight, in part because they did not require large airports capable of receiving large aircraft.[40]

  • November 4, 1982(1982-11-04):Pan Am set a further record using a 747SP to launch its new non-stop route connecting Sydney to Los Angeles, covering 12,051 kilometres (7,488 mi; 6,507 nmi).[110][111][112]
  • November 3, 1991(1991-11-03):South African Airwayssets a new record, using a Boeing 747-400 to connect New York–JFK to Johannesburg non-stop (eastbound): a distance of 12,824 kilometres (7,968 mi; 6,924 nmi).[113][114]

2000s

edit
  • February 1, 2000(2000-02-01):South African Airwaysset another record, connecting Atlanta to Johannesburg non-stop (eastbound) with a 747-400: a distance of 13,581 kilometres (8,439 mi; 7,333 nmi)[115][116][117]
  • March 1, 2001(2001-03-01):With thedissolution of the Soviet Union,commercial overflights over Russia were now possible, allowingnew circumpolar routesto come into use for airlines.[118]Continental Airlineslaunched a 12,980-kilometre (8,065 mi; 7,009 nmi) non-stop service fromNewarkto Hong Kong flyingBoeing 777-200ERaircraft. This set a new distance record for a round trip route, flown non-stop in both directions. The duration of the non-stop flight exceeded 16 hours.[118]
  • April 1, 2001(2001-04-01):Within a month,United Airlinesstarted its own New York–JFK to Hong Kong service withBoeing 747-400aircraft, adding 10 kilometers to the distance for a distance of 12,990 kilometres (8,072 mi; 7,014 nmi).[118]

Despite the greater distance, SQ 22 averaged a slightly shorter 17 hours, 45 minutes because of prevailing high-altitude winds.[124]

2010s and 2020s

edit

In the late 2000s/early 2010s, rising fuel prices coupled with theGreat Recessioncaused the cancellation of many ultra long-haul, non-stop flights.[125]This included the services provided by Singapore Airlines from Singapore to both Newark and Los Angeles that were ended in late 2013.[126][127]But, as fuel prices have since decreased and more fuel-efficient aircraft have come into service, many ultra long-haul routes were reinstated or newly scheduled.[125]

Other record flights (non-scheduled)

edit
Boeing 777-200LR (N6066Z) flew a demonstration flight from Hong Kong to London non-stop in 2005 in an unusual east-bound route, setting a new world record at the time for a commercial airliner at 21,602 kilometers covered in 22 hours 42 minutes.[134]

Promotional and delivery flights

edit

A number of promotional or delivery flights have extended the record of longest non-stop flights by a commercial aircraft:

  • March 23, 1976(1976-03-23):South African Airways' delivery flight of their first Boeing 747SP set a new record for nonstop flight by commercial aircraft. Flying 16,560 kilometres (10,290 mi; 8,942 nmi), covering a great circle distance of 16,429 kilometres (10,209 mi; 8,871 nmi), fromPaine Field(nearSeattle) to Cape Town, South Africa in 17 hours and 22 minutes.[135][136][137]
  • August 16, 1989(1989-08-16):The first QantasBoeing 747-400,VH-OJA, theCity of Canberra,set a non-stop distance record for a commercial aircraft by flying 17,039 kilometres (10,588 mi; 9,200 nmi),[138]covering a great circle distance of 17,016 kilometres (10,573 mi; 9,188 nmi) between London and Sydney in 20 hours, 9 minutes. The purpose was to publicize the airline's "Longreach" services with the 747-400.[139][140][141]
  • June 16, 1993(1993-06-16):AnAirbus A340-200,F-WWBA, dubbedTheWorld Ranger,set two new records as it flew an around the world route. First flying 19,089 kilometres (11,861 mi; 10,307 nmi) fromParis-Le Bourget AirporttoAuckland,New Zealand in 21 hours and 32 minutes.[142]After a 5 hour layover, the flight continued east-bound on a slightly longer route back to Paris-Le Bourget flying 19,246 kilometres (11,959 mi; 10,392 nmi), covering a great circle distance of 18,541 kilometres (11,521 mi; 10,011 nmi)[143]in 21 hours and 46 minutes. This was the first non-stop flight between Europe and New Zealand.[144][145][146]
  • March 31, 1997(1997-03-31):ABoeing 777-200ER,"The Super Ranger",flew 20,045 kilometres (12,455 mi; 10,823 nmi) eastward from Seattle'sBoeing FieldtoKuala Lumpur, Malaysia,prior to refueling and completing its around the world flight back to Seattle.[147][148][149]
  • November 9, 2005(2005-11-09):ABoeing 777-200LRdemonstrator aircraft"Baby Blue 2"flew a great circle distance of 21,602 kilometres (13,423 mi; 11,664 nmi),[150][151][152]eastward from Hong Kong to London–Heathrow in 22 hours, 42 minutes as opposed to a normal westward routing for that sector, which is much shorter at 9,648 kilometres (5,995 mi; 5,210 nmi).[153][134]Eight pilots and twenty-seven passengers were on board.[154][155]

Non-scheduled commercial flights

edit
Qantas 747-400City of Canberra(VH-OJA)flew from London to Sydney non-stop during its 1989 promotional flight, flying 17,000 kilometers in about 20 hours.
  • March 25, 2006(2006-03-25):British Airwaysused a Boeing 777-200ER to fly the longest commercial non-stop flight with paying passengers, when chartered by UK Prime MinisterTony Blairand his entourage of staff and journalists to fly from meetings inBrussels,traveling non-stop to ensure their attendance at the closing ceremonies of the2006 Commonwealth GamesinMelbourne.[156]The flight, covering 17,157 kilometres (10,661 mi; 9,264 nmi) and lasting 18 hours, 45 minutes, included a BA staff of 20 to facilitate cockpit and cabin crew rotation during the flight.[156]
  • March 28, 2021(2021-03-28):AComluxBoeing 787-8,registered P4-787, set a new record for the longest commercial non-stop flight with paying passengers. It flew a non-scheduled (chartered), non-stop flight between the nearlyantipodalpoints ofSeoul–IncheonandBuenos Aires.[157]The flight departed at 12:47 local time on March 28 and arrived on March 28 at 21:26 local time, having covered a total of 19,483 kilometres (12,106 mi; 10,520 nmi) in 20 hours 19 minutes.[158][159][160]

Airliners

edit

The longest-rangeAirbusjetliner in service is theAirbus A350-900ULR,which is capable of flying 18,000 kilometres (11,000 mi; 9,700 nmi).[161][162]TheA380is capable of flying 15,200 kilometres (9,400 mi; 8,200 nmi) with 544 passengers. The standardA350-900can fly 15,000 kilometres (9,300 mi; 8,100 nmi) with 325 passengers.[163]

The longest-rangeBoeingairliner in service is the777-200LR,which can cover 17,395 kilometres (10,809 mi; 9,393 nmi) with 301 passengers.[164][165]Boeingalso considered developing a777-200LRderivative forQantas.It would feature three additional auxiliary fuel tanks (six total), a lighter interior derived from the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, as well as lower density seating. This aircraft would have the ability to fly between Sydney and London with a range of just over 18,500 kilometres (11,510 mi; 10,000 nmi).[166]The announcedBoeing 777-8will be capable of flying 16,170 kilometres (10,050 mi; 8,730 nmi) with 350 to 375 passengers.[167]TheBoeing 787-9can fly 14,140 kilometres (8,790 mi; 7,630 nmi) with 290 passengers.[168]

Many long-haul, non-stop routes that used to be uneconomical to operate are being made viable by theAirbus A330neo,theAirbus A350 XWB,and theBoeing 787 Dreamliner.[169]

Longest passenger flights

edit

Non-stop flights (top 30, by great-circle distance)

edit

The following table lists the world's longest non-stop scheduled passenger routes bygreat-circle distance.The actual distance flown, however, can be longer than the great-circle distance for a variety of reasons, such as avoiding severe weather, taking advantage of favorable winds aloft, detouring around closed airspace, and diverting around conflict zones.

For the purposes of this table, multiple flights operated by the same airline between the same airports are counted as one flight, while different airlines operating between the same airports are counted separately. Also, each airport pair is counted separately, even though some cities have multiple airports supporting long-range flights (e.g.HeathrowandGatwickairports servingLondon,andHanedaandNaritaservingTokyo).

  • InNovember 2019,El Alannounced it was exploring a new non-stopTel Aviv–Melbourneroute with 3 initial scheduled roundtrip "test" flights,[366]covering a great-circle distance of 13,736 km (8,535 mi; 7,417 nmi).[367]While tickets went on sale in December 2019, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic's impact on international flights, only the first of the three flights was operated on April 2, 2020. It covered an actual flight distance of 14,760 km (9,171 mi; 7,970 nmi).[368]The flight distance was 1000 km longer than the great-circle distance for the route due to flights to and from Israel were not allowed to traverseSaudi Arabianor Omani airspace. In July 2022, Saudi Arabia opened its airspace to all Israeli carriers for the first time[369]and in February 2023 Oman opened its airspace to all "qualified commercial carriers"[370]thus bringing the operation of this route along the great-circle routing closer to viability. In March 2023, El Al signed a LOI and announced they are (re)launching this route "by June 2024" with thrice weekly services using their Boeing 787 fleet.[371][372]
  • InOctober 2024,Air India received approval from India'sDGCAfor flights to be operated from New Delhi to Dallas Fort Worth. The approved flight of AI 109 would cover a great circle distance of 13,173 km (8,185 mi; 7,113 nmi) if/when it is scheduled for sale and operation.[373]
  • InSeptember 2023,in its updated marketing materials, Turkish Airlines announced their future routes they are working to develop. Amongst the ones newly added was an Istanbul-Santiago route that if operated non-stop will cover a great circle distance of 13,094 km (8,136 mi; 7,070 nmi).[374]This route was mentioned again by the Turkish Airlines chairman in March 2024 of envisioned launching in 2026 once their A350-1000 aircraft started to be delivered.[352]

Services that never began

  • In August 2015, Emirates announced that non-stop flights between Dubai andPanama City, Panamawould begin on 1 February 2016, covering 13,821 km (8,588 mi; 7,463 nmi)[375]in 17 hours, 35 minutes westbound. In January 2016, the start was postponed to 31 March 2016. In early March 2016, Emirates postponed the route until the end of 2016 or early 2017 or "as soon as conditions allow." Emirates latest public update on this route was in April 2018 where Emirates' CCO stated "We are still looking at Panama. We had some conversations recently with a delegation from Panama".[376]In 2015, it would have been the world's longest non-stop flight.
  • In July 2019, Qantas announced and began selling tickets for new non-stop flights between Brisbane and Chicago-O'Hare that would begin operation in April 2020 covering 14,325 km (8,901 mi; 7,735 nmi) in 16 hours, 20 minutes eastbound using a Boeing 787-9 aircraft. (Flight number QF 85 and 86 in reference to theChicago Bears1986 Super BowlChampionship team).[377][378]However, in March 2020, because of theCOVID-19 pandemicQantas announced it was delaying the route's launch to September 2020. In July 2020, as part of Australia's pandemic response, almost all international flights were canceled until March 2021, including this new route.[379]In January 2021, Qantas reopened its international flights for booking for 2021 and this new route was no longer included in their schedules for the foreseeable future/the rest of 2021. It would have been the world's fourth longest non-stop flight. In early 2023, the topic was surfaced again by Qantas, but still no firm plans announced for the envisioning of launching this route.[380]
  • In February 2020,American Airlinesannounced flight AA180/181 betweenSeattle–TacomaandBengaluru,covering a great-circle distance of 13,000 km (8,078 mi; 7,019 nmi).[381]Though originally planned for October 2020, the launch was delayed repeatedly amid theCOVID-19 pandemicand as of 2024 has not happened.[382][383][384][385]
