Over time, commercial airlines have established a number of scheduled ultra long-haul non-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
Measurement Method
The length of a flight can be defined in different ways.[4] The most common standard flight length measurement is by great-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
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 (eg: NAT-OTS and airport 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 time" is 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 permit for their variance in (eg. 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 (eg. ASHTAMs, ETOPS limitations), or even cost savings (optimization of overflight payments).[16][17]
Flight Types
There are numerous different types of flights globally operated by different aircraft for different industries and purposes. The term "longest flight" is most commonly used in reference to flights that are commercial, 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
Since November 9, 2020, the longest active scheduled passenger flight by great-circle distance is Singapore Airlines’ Flights SQ23/SQ24[20] using an Airbus A350-900ULR between Singapore and New York–JFK at 15,349 kilometres (9,537 mi; 8,288 nmi).[21]
The longest ever scheduled passenger flight was Air Tahiti Nui's flight TN64 using a Boeing 787-9, flying non-stop from Faa'a International Airport in Papeete, Tahiti to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport,[22] a distance of 15,715 kilometres (9,765 mi; 8,485 nmi) in a schedule duration of 16 hours, 20 minutes.[23][24] This route was operated from March to April 2020.[25]
This route was previously operated with a refueling stop at Los Angeles International Airport, where all passengers would disembark the aircraft and pass through U.S. Customs and Border Protection before re-boarding and continuing to Paris. However, to comply with COVID-19 pandemic restrictions banning European travelers from entering the United States,[26] this service 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,[27] which eliminated the need to refuel. This route also set a record for the world's longest domestic passenger flight, as it flew between French territories.

By ground distance traveled
Routings may avoid great-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) are Singapore Airlines' flights SQ23 (second longest) and SQ24 (longest) between Singapore-Changi and New York–JFK in the U.S. Both of these flights have a geometrically optimal great-circle route near the North Pole of 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)[28] over the Pacific Ocean where jet streams can 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)[29] eastward, across the Atlantic Ocean, when favorable jet streams winds are available to save both flying time and fuel.
Similarly, the two Air India flights from New Delhi to San Francisco, AI173[30] and AI183,[31] 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 the Atlantic Ocean, to avoid prevailing westerly headwinds and save almost two hours of flying time.[32] 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,[33] and it is not unheard of for particular flights to cover more than 16,000 km (9,900 mi; 8,600 nmi).[34]
Cathay Pacific flights from Hong Kong to New York–JFK will 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.[35]
History
Since the first scheduled commercial passenger flight in 1914 that covered 34 kilometres (21 mi; 18 nmi),[36][37] records for the longest flight (by great-circle distance) were rapidly set and continue to be set today.
1920s and 1930s

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 as they didn't require large airports capable of receiving large aircraft.[38]
- May 23, 1926: Following the end of WWI, there was a boom in the development of longer non-stop commercial flights such as Brussels-Paris(March 1919),[39][40][41] London-Paris(August 1919),[42][43] and Amsterdam-London(May 1920).[44][45] A notably long passenger flight for the time came with Western Air Express' launch of its scheduled non-stop flight between Salt Lake City (Woodward Field) and Las Vegas (Anderson Field). This non-stop flight covered a great circle distance of 585 km (364 mi; 316 nmi) in approximately 5 hours using a Douglas M-2.[46][47][48]
- August 21, 1934: A new record of longest commercial non-stop flight is flown by Pan American Airways using their brand new Sikorsky S-42 Flying Boat between Recife and Sao Luiz, Brazil covering a distance of 1,200 kilometres (746 mi; 648 nmi) in a scheduled time of 5 hours 30 minutes, the longest leg of their Miami-Rio De Janeiro route.[49][50]
- October 21, 1936: The first scheduled commercial transpacific flight was operated by Pan American Airways on a Martin M-130 Flying Boat with 7 paying passengers on board.[51] Flying from San Francisco to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, non-stop, a distance of 3,871 kilometres (2,405 mi; 2,090 nmi)[52] in 19 hours, 36 minutes.[53][54][55][56]
- June 28, 1939: The first scheduled commercial transatlantic flight was operated by Pan American Airways on a Boeing B-314 Clipper with 22 paying passengers on board.[57] Flying from Port Washington, New York[58][59] to Horta, Azores non-stop, a distance of 3,827 kilometres (2,378 mi; 2,066 nmi)[60] in 15 hours, 55 minutes.[61][56]
1940s and 1950s
PBY Catalina G-AGKS of the Double Sunrise service
- September 9, 1940: Pan Am set another record for the longest non-stop commercial flight by changing their eastbound trans-atlantic route between Bermuda and Lisbon to no longer have a scheduled stop in Horta, Azores. Using their Boeing B-314 Clipper, to cover the great circle distance of approximately 5,018 kilometres (3,118 mi; 2,710 nmi) from Darrell Island, Bermuda to Cabo Ruivo Airport, Lisbon, Portugal[62] in a scheduled time of 19 hours and 5 minutes.[63][64][65]
- June 29, 1943 – July 17, 1945: Qantas operated "The Double Sunrise", a weekly 5,652-kilometre (3,512 mi; 3,052 nmi) flight between Perth, Australia and Koggala in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) with average flight times of around 28 hours, using a Consolidated PBY Catalina.[66] The flight from Ceylon to Australia on Aug 30, 1943 remains the record holder for longest time airborne (for a commercial passenger flight) at 32 hours, 9 minutes.[67][68][69][70][71][72][73][note 1]
- January 26, 1949 – July 20, 1949: Having their operating certificates revoked and/or airfields closed to them in India, Pakistan, Ceylon, and Burma[74][75] in response to the Dutch's launching of a second Politionele acties (Operation Kraai); KLM created an alternative route for its direct flight KL830 between Amsterdam and Batavia. Using the longest range commercial airplane at the time: the new Lockheed L-749 Constellation with added additional fuel tanks and reduced cargo. It became the new longest non-stop commercial flight with its longest leg of 5,527 km (3,434 mi; 2,984 nmi) from Port Louis, Mauritius to Batavia, Dutch East Indies (now Jakarta, Indonesia) in a scheduled time of 15 hours, 15 minutes.[76][77][78][79][80]
- November 18, 1952: Utilizing the recently better understood phenomenon of the Polar jet stream, Pan Am launched non-stop passenger service from Tokyo-Haneda to Honolulu aboard a Boeing 377 Stratocruiser,[81] covering a great-circle distance of 6,202 kilometres (3,854 mi; 3,349 nmi) in 11 hours 30 minutes.[82][83] It would go on to be flown in as short as 9 hours 48 minutes.[84]
- September 29, 1957: A Trans World Airlines Lockheed L-1649A Starliner, the ultimate piston-engine airliner in terms of range and endurance, flew the inaugural 8,780 kilometres (5,456 mi; 4,741 nmi) Los Angeles to London–Heathrow polar route in 18 hours and 32 minutes.[85]
- October 2, 1957: Trans World Airlines' L-1649A, set the record for the longest-duration, non-stop passenger flight aboard a piston-powered airliner on the inaugural London–Heathrow to San Francisco Flight 801 where the aircraft, having encountered strong headwinds, stayed aloft for 23 hours and 19 minutes covering 8,638 kilometres (5,367 mi; 4,664 nmi).[86][87][88]
- October 3, 1957: Trans World Airlines broke their own longest flight record with the launch of TW850's non-stop flight from San Francisco to Paris–Orly[89][90][91] covering 9,001 kilometres (5,593 mi; 4,860 nmi) in a scheduled flight time of 19 hours, 45 minutes.[92][93][94]
1960s and 1970s
An El Al Boeing 707 (4X-ATB) that flew the longest flight in 1961 between New York City and Tel Aviv
- June 15, 1961: El Al used its new Boeing 707-458s[95] to start the non-stop route from New York Idlewild Airport to Tel Aviv, covering 9,137 kilometres (5,677 mi; 4,934 nmi), with an average time of 9 hours, 33 minutes. This route was previously tested in December 1957 with a Bristol Britannia.[96]
- January 7, 1963: As a result of Cold War tensions and loss of landing permissions on the route's previous intermediary stops, Aeroflot used their Tupolev Tu-114D, the largest commercial passenger plane ever built as of 1963, to change their eastbound route from Havana to Moscow into a non-stop one.[97] Covering 9,594 kilometres (5,961 mi; 5,180 nmi), in 16 hours, 25 minutes.[98][99]
- August 6, 1967: Aerolíneas Argentinas established its non-stop Boeing 707-320B service on a 10,062 kilometres (6,252 mi; 5,433 nmi) route between Madrid and Buenos Aires, with a flight time of 13 hours.[100][101][102] The arrival of the more fuel-efficient turbofans made easier the possibility of longer flights.
A Pan Am 747SP that operated the longest flight in 1976 between New York City and Tokyo
- April 26, 1976: Using the newly launched Boeing 747SP, Pan American World Airways set a new record with its 10,899 kilometres (6,772 mi; 5,885 nmi) New York–JFK to Tokyo-Haneda route.[103][104]
- December 12, 1976: Pan Am set another record with its 747SPs when it launched the first non-stop service between North America and Australia on its new route of Sydney–San Francisco, covering 11,937 kilometres (7,417 mi; 6,445 nmi) in a scheduled 13 hours 15 minutes.[105][106][107]
1980s and 1990s

South African Airways' first 747-400, that launched the longest non-stop flight in 1991 from New York City to Johannesburg
- November 4, 1982: 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).[108][109][110]
- November 3, 1991: South African Airways sets 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).[111][112]
2000s
- February 1, 2000: South African Airways set 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)[113][114][115]
- March 1, 2001: With the dissolution of the Soviet Union, commercial overflights over Russia were now possible, allowing new circumpolar routes to come into use for airlines.[116] Continental Airlines launched a 12,980-kilometre (8,065 mi; 7,009 nmi) non-stop service from Newark to Hong Kong flying Boeing 777-200ER aircraft. 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.[116]
- April 1, 2001: Within a month, United Airlines started its own New York–JFK to Hong Kong service with Boeing 747-400 aircraft, adding 10 kilometers to the distance for a distance of 12,990 kilometres (8,072 mi; 7,014 nmi).[116]
- February 3, 2004: Singapore Airlines set a new record using the Airbus A340-500 on a great circle distance of 14,113 kilometres (8,769 mi; 7,620 nmi) from Los Angeles to Singapore in a scheduled time of 18 hours 20 minutes carrying 181 passengers.[117][118][119][120]
- June 8, 2004: Singapore Airlines used its A340-500 aircraft to beat its own record; launching Flight SQ 21 on a 15,344 kilometres (9,534 mi; 8,285 nmi) great-circle route from Newark to Singapore, passing within 130 kilometres (81 mi; 70 nmi) of the North Pole and taking a little under 18 hours.[121] The return flight SQ 22, then flew a record ground distance of 16,600 kilometres (10,315 mi; 8,963 nmi) back to Newark. Despite the greater distance, SQ 22 averaged a slightly shorter 17 hours, 45 minutes because of prevailing high-altitude winds.[122]
2010s and 2020s
A Singapore Airlines A350-900ULR: one of only seven in the world. This plane is used on the currently active, longest commercial flight from Singapore to New York JFK
In the late 2000s/early 2010s, rising fuel prices coupled with the Great Recession caused the cancellation of many ultra long-haul, non-stop flights.[123] This included the services provided by Singapore Airlines from Singapore to both Newark and Los Angeles that were ended in late 2013.[124][125] 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.[123]
- October 18, 2018: Singapore Airlines relaunched Flight SQ 21/22 between Singapore and Newark[126] using an Airbus A350-900ULR.
- March 15, 2020: During the COVID-19 pandemic, which prevented transit in the US through Los Angeles International Airport, Air Tahiti Nui scheduled and operated, in March and April 2020, Flight TN64 as a non-stop flight between Papeete and Paris Charles de Gaulle, using a Boeing 787-9 and covering 15,715 km (9,765 mi; 8,485 nmi) in 16 hours 20 minutes,[127][128] setting a new record for the world's longest scheduled passenger flight.
- November 9, 2020: Singapore Airlines launched the longest currently active scheduled passenger flight of SQ 23/24 between Singapore and New York–JFK at 15,349 kilometres (9,537 mi; 8,288 nmi) operated by an Airbus A350-900.[129] On January 16, 2021, this route was changed to operate using an A350-900ULR.[130][131]
Other record flights (non-scheduled)
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.[132]
Promotional and delivery flights
A number of promotional or delivery flights have extended the record of longest non-stop flights by a commercial aircraft:
- March 23, 1976: 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), from Paine Field (near Seattle) to Cape Town, South Africa in 17 hours and 22 minutes.[133][134][135]
- August 16, 1989: The first Qantas Boeing 747-400, VH-OJA, the City of Canberra, set a non-stop distance record for a commercial aircraft by flying 17,039 kilometres (10,588 mi; 9,200 nmi),[136] 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.[137][138][139]
- June 16, 1993: An Airbus A340-200, F-WWBA, dubbed The World Ranger, set two new records as it flew an around the world route. First flying 19,089 kilometres (11,861 mi; 10,307 nmi) from Paris-Le Bourget Airport to Auckland, New Zealand in 21 hours and 32 minutes.[140] 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)[141] in 21 hours and 46 minutes. This was the first non-stop flight between Europe and New Zealand.[142][143][144]
- March 31, 1997: A Boeing 777-200ER, "The Super Ranger", flew 20,045 kilometres (12,455 mi; 10,823 nmi) eastward from Seattle's Boeing Field to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, prior to refueling and completing its around the world flight back to Seattle.[145][146][147]
- November 9, 2005: A Boeing 777-200LR demonstrator aircraft "Baby Blue 2" flew a great circle distance of 21,602 kilometres (13,423 mi; 11,664 nmi),[148][149][150] 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).[151][132] Eight pilots and twenty-seven passengers were on board.[152][153]
Non-scheduled commercial flights
Qantas 747-400 City 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: British Airways used a Boeing 777-200ER to fly the longest commercial non-stop flight with paying passengers, when chartered by UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and his entourage of staff and journalists to fly from meetings in Brussels, traveling non-stop to ensure their attendance at the closing ceremonies of the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.[154] 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.[154]
- March 28, 2021: A Comlux Boeing 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 nearly antipodal points of Seoul–Incheon and Buenos Aires.[155] 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.[156][157]
Airliners
The longest-range Airbus jetliner in service is the Airbus A350-900ULR, which is capable of flying 18,000 kilometres (11,000 mi; 9,700 nmi).[158][159] The A380 is capable of flying 15,200 kilometres (9,400 mi; 8,200 nmi) with 544 passengers. The standard A350-900 can fly 15,000 kilometres (9,300 mi; 8,100 nmi) with 325 passengers.
The longest-range Boeing airliner in service is the 777-200LR, which can cover 17,395 kilometres (9,393 nmi; 10,809 mi) with 301 passengers.[160][161] The announced Boeing 777-8 will be capable of flying 16,170 kilometres (10,050 mi; 8,730 nmi) with 350 to 375 passengers.[162] The Boeing 787-9 can fly 14,140 kilometres (7,630 nmi; 8,790 mi) with 290 passengers.[163]
Many long-haul, non-stop routes that used to be uneconomical to operate are being made viable by the Airbus A330neo, the Airbus A350 XWB, and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.[164]
Longest passenger flights
Non-stop flights (top 30, by great-circle distance)
The following table lists the world's longest non-stop scheduled passenger routes by great-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. Heathrow and Gatwick airports serving London, and Haneda and Narita serving Tokyo).

Envisioned services (by distance)
- On August 25, 2017, Qantas announced "Project Sunrise" aiming to launch new ultra-long-haul non-stop "Kangaroo Routes" from Australia to major destinations including London, New York, and Paris.[299] On October 20, 2019, Qantas demonstrated the New York City to Sydney flight using a Boeing 787-9.[300] The flight took 19 hours, 15 minutes and the 49 people on the plane were staff and selected guests. In order to make the flight possible, the weight had to be precisely trimmed by limiting the number of passengers and cargo weight. One month later, departing on November 14, 2019, and landing on November 15, Qantas demonstrated another "Project Sunrise" route using a 787-9 to fly from London–Heathrow to Sydney Airport non-stop with 52 passengers on board. The flight lasted 19 hours, 19 minutes and traveled a distance of 17,750 kilometres (11,029 mi; 9,584 nmi).[301] In December 2019, Qantas announced they had selected an Airbus A350-1000 (with some potential modifications) for Project Sunrise if the flights proceed.[302] The Airbus A350-1000 entered into service in February 2018 with a range of 16,100 kilometres (10,004 mi; 8,693 nmi)[303] and is capable of flying non-stop both Sydney – London and Sydney – New York City.[304][302]
- In 2018, Turkish Airlines announced it was planning an Istanbul – Sydney route, a great-circle distance of 14,967 km (9,300 mi; 8,082 nmi) with their Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners.[305] Turkish Airlines' chairman stated in June 2023 that their 787-9 current aircraft do not enable year-round nonstop flights to from Istanbul to Australia and therefore will not launch nonstop flights to Australia until they receive their next generation aircraft (Boeing 777x or Airbus A350). He further stated their intent to operate nonstop flights from Istanbul to Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, and "Sydney nonstop would be potentially be five years down the line [2028]". Ahead of nonstop flights, Turkish Airlines did announce the intention to launch direct flights from Istanbul to Melbourne via Singapore starting in December 2023. However as of September 2023, the airline has yet to receive Australian government approval for this direct route.[306][307][308]
- In May 2021, Vietnam Airlines received Vietnam Government approval[309] to use its A350-900 and 787-9 aircraft on multiple non-stop North American routes including the long routes of Ho Chi Minh City to New York–JFK, a great-circle distance of 14,307 km (8,890 mi; 7,725 nmi) and Ho Chi Minh City to Dallas-Fort Worth, a great-circle distance of 14,557 km (9,045 mi; 7,860 nmi).[310][309] In November 2021, Vietnam Airlines launched the first of such transpacific flights flying between Ho Chi Minh City and San Francisco.[311]
- According to a report published in September 2015, Miami International Airport (Florida) was in talks with EVA Air and China Airlines of Taiwan to launch before 2018 a non-stop 13,922 km (8,651 mi; 7,517 nmi) flight to Taipei.[312] In June 2016, a chartered China Airlines Boeing 777-300ER carrying Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen flew non-stop from Taipei to Miami before continuing to Panama. The airport director spoke with President Tsai about the opportunity for scheduled service between Miami and Taipei.[313] The airport has been actively pursuing a non-stop flight to East Asia since 2015. There are no non-stop passenger flights between Florida, the third-most populous state in the U.S., and East Asia.[314][315] In May 2017, the region's aviation department director predicted such a flight would happen within the next 24 months.[316] In November 2020, Starlux Airlines applied for rights to operate this Taipei – Miami route along with 14 others.[317] In 2023, Starlux announced they intend to launch one new US destination per year to connect to the "Western, Midwest, and Eastern" US.[318]
- In November 2019, El Al announced it was exploring a new non-stop Tel Aviv – Melbourne route with 3 initial scheduled roundtrip "test" flights,[319] covering a great-circle distance of 13,736 km (8,535 mi; 7,417 nmi),.[320] 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).[321] 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 traverse Saudi Arabian or Omani airspace. In July 2022, Saudi Arabia opened its airspace to all Israeli carriers for the first time[322] and in February 2023 Oman opened its airspace to all "qualified commercial carriers"[323] 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.[324][325]
- In September 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).[326]
Services that never began
- In August 2015, Emirates announced that non-stop flights between Dubai and Panama City, Panama would begin on 1 February 2016, covering 13,821 km (8,588 mi; 7,463 nmi)[327] 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".[328] 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 the Chicago Bears 1986 Super Bowl Championship team).[329][330] However, in March 2020, because of the COVID-19 pandemic Qantas 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.[331] 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.[332]
- In February 2020, American Airlines announced flight AA180/181 between Seattle–Tacoma and Bengaluru, covering a great-circle distance of 13,000 km (8,078 mi; 7,019 nmi).[333] Its launch was announced for October 2020. American Airlines subsequently announced because of global travel restrictions amid the global COVID-19 pandemic it would be pushed back to October 2021. Further delayed launch dates for 2021 were subsequently announced, until American Airlines definitely stated it would not launch in 2021 and would instead launch in March 2022,[334][335] In January 2022, American Airlines announced that the service will start in October 2022 and started selling tickets,[336] before announcing in May 2022 that will not launch in 2022 either, stating: "We have paused the launch of scheduled service between Seattle and Bengaluru, India until summer 2023 [...] as this route requires flying through airspace currently involved in a military conflict, we postponed the flight out of an abundance of caution."[337] As of January 2023, this flight remains unscheduled to resume in 2023.
