During the pandemic, airlines around the world have been forced to run dozens of long-haul routes due to border restrictions and weak foreign demand.
This meant that ultra-long-haul routes such as Qantas’ Perth service to London and Delta Air Lines’ Atlanta flight to Johannesburg were suspended. on flights longer than 15 hours on routes that stretch around 10,000 miles.
Historically, Singapore Airlines was named after the world’s longest flight, flying 9534 miles nonstop between Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey and Singapore. Although the nonstop address to Newark was reinstated in March 2022, Singapore returned to New York in November 2020, but instead flew to John F International Airport. Kennedy.
The airline said the resolution was made “to better accommodate a combination of passenger traffic and shipments at its facilities to New York in the existing operating climate. “The management has the world’s longest new flight with just two nautical miles over Newark and still holds a record, according to the aeronautical knowledge analysis company’s Official Airline Guide (OAG).
Today, Singapore serves New York-JFK and Newark and has strived to make it comfortable. Specifically, the airline has installed sumptuous premium business and budget seats on board and created a “wellness” menu that provides food “from farm to plane. “” to help with things like indigestion.
With the reinstatement of long-haul flights across airlines, the list of the 10 longest flights in the world has been drastically replaced. The routes described are unbearably long, from 3 p. m. only around 7 p. m.
Although the directions could be shorter or longer depending on the winds, the distance and duration shown are based on the airline’s expected flight time. In addition, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine may also cause airlines to fly past some of the addresses on the list, such as Cathay Pacific’s planned direction between New York-JFK and Hong Kong that would bypass Russia but never materialize.
There are also other unique flights that can surpass some of the 10 most sensitive routes. For example, Qantas operated a repatriation service from Buenos Aires, Argentina, to Darwin, Australia, in October 2021. The Boeing 787-9 aircraft flew 9,333 miles, adding over Antarctica, to the longest passenger flight in the airline’s history.
In addition to unscheduled single flights, some airlines plan to sign up in Singapore through the operation of the world’s longest flights, Air New Zealand added. The airline will launch its 18-hour service between New York-JFK and Auckland on September 17, soon fitting the fourth-longest address in the world.
