Over time, different airlines have established a number of ultra-long distance flights. This article covers the longest flight between them. The opening of this super long route can reduce the number of stops that passengers have to take to improve passenger comfort on the move and reduce the time needed to travel between the distant city couples, although transit can also be rejuvenated on long-haul trips. It can also help build ego and build loyalty among a set of leaflets. And thus there is competition among airlines to build the longest flight,.

Definisi
The word "longest flight" can mean many different things. The most commonly used metrics are for the distance between the origin and destination airports, but can also refer to the longest period of time required to fly a route or the actual distance flown by the aircraft. Also, although this is most often used to compare between different non-stop flights, direct flights with dismissal can also be compared on several occasions.

The longest current route
"The longest flight in the world" has disputed status due to the announcement of such a claim. While the distance between the two cities is constant, the plane does not follow the straight line but will adjust the flight path based on headwinds/tailwinds, other weather events, and to avoid flying over certain countries due to politics or war.
With large circle and time span
Since February 5, 2017, scheduled non-stop scheduled flights with large mileage are Qatar Airways Flight 921/920 between Auckland, New Zealand and Doha, Qatar at 14,535 kilometers (7,848 nmi; 9,032 mi). Flights using Boeing 777-200LR. QR 921 from Auckland to Doha is also the longest flight in duration, taking 18 hours and 20 minutes.
With overland distances
The route can avoid a shorter ground distance from a large circular route to use the direction meter to save time and fuel, shortening the equivalent air distance equals. Air India flights from Delhi to San Francisco can be diverted to the Pacific Ocean rather than the North Pole over 15,000 km (8,099 nmi; 9,321 mi) rather than 12,395 km (6,693 nmi; 7,702 mi), similar to 17 Hours QR 921, but take 14, 5 hours due to towing.
Cathay Pacific flights from Hong Kong to New York City-JFK can fly 15,000 km (8,099 nmi; 9,321 mi) of land lane, and not a large circular route of 12,984 km (7,011 nmi; 8,068 mi, mi).
History
From 1943 to 1945, Qantas operated "The Double Sunrise", a 5,652 kilometer (3,052Ã, nmi: 3,512Ã, mi) weekly flight between Perth, Australia and Koggala Lagoon in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) with an average flight time of 28 hour, using the consolidated CPBC Catalina. One of these flights remains the record holder for the longest time in the air (for commercial flights) at 32 hours, 9 minutes.
On October 1-2, 1957, Trans World Airlines Lockheed L-1649 Starliner, the best piston engined aircraft in terms of range and durability, flew with 8,638 kilometers (4,664 nmi; 5,367 million) of London-San Francisco polar routes in 23 hours, 19 minutes.
In June 1961, El Al started a 9,113-kilometer route (4,934 nmi; 5.677 mi) from New York City-JFK to Tel Aviv using Boeing 707 and an average of 9 hours, 33 minutes. This route was previously tested in December 1957 with Bristol Britannia.
In August 1967 AerolÃÆ'neas Argentinas established the uninterrupted Boeing 707 service on a 10,063 kilometer (5,434 nmi: 6,253 mi) route between Madrid and Buenos Aires with a 12-hour flight time.
The AerolÃÆ'neas Argentinas route was the longest scheduled flight from long distance until 1976, when the Boeing 747-SP entered service. In April 1976, Pan American World Airways set a new record with a route of 10,899 kilometers (5,885 nmi; 6,772 mi) of New York City-JFK/Tokyo-Haneda. In December, the airline set another record with Sydney-San Francisco, covering 11,937 kilometers (6,445 nmi; 7,417 mi).
The dissolution of the Soviet Union finally opened up the airspace over Russia, allowing new circumpolar routes to begin to be used for commercial flights. On March 1, 2001, Continental Airlines launched a non-stop 12,980 kilometers (7,009? Nmi; 8,065Ã, mi) service from Newark to Hong Kong on Boeing 777 aircraft. The non-stop flight duration exceeded 16 hours. Within a month, United Airlines embarked on its own New York City-JFK to Hong Kong service on a Boeing 747-400 plane, adding 11 kilometers to the distance.
In June 2004, Singapore Airlines introduced the SQ 21 Flight, using the Airbus A340-500 at 15,344 kilometers (8,285Ã, nmi; 9,534Ã mi, mi) a large loop route from Newark to Singapore, passing 130 kilometers (70Ãmi; ) from the Arctic and takes a little over 18 hours. It was immediately surpassed by the return of SQ 22, which flew the current record of 16,600 kilometers (8,963 nmi; 10.315Ã mi) back to Newark. Despite further distance, SQ 22 averages a little shorter 17 hours, 45 minutes due to the prevailing breeze.
In the late 2000s/early 2010, rising fuel prices coupled with the Great Recession led to the cancellation of many ultra-long hauls, non-stop flights. This includes services provided by Singapore Airlines from Singapore to Newark and Los Angeles which expire at the end of 2013. But as fuel prices have declined and more fuel-efficient aircraft have begun to be used, many ultra-long haul routes have been recovered or new scheduled.
Record flight
In August 1989, the first Qantas Boeing 747-400, Canberra City, set a non-stop distance record for commercial aircraft by flying 17,016 kilometers (9,188 million; 10,573 mi) between London. and Sydney in 20 hours, 9 minutes. The goal is to publicize the service "Longreach" airline with 747-400. In addition to five pilots, two cabin crew and sixteen passengers boarded.
On June 16, 1993, an Airbus A340-200, dubbed the World Ranger , flew from Paris Air Show to Auckland, New Zealand in 21 hours 32 minutes and returned within 21 hours, 46 minutes after five -. This is the first non-stop flight between Europe and New Zealand and the longest non-stop flight by aircraft. The 19,277 kilometers (10,409? Nmi; 11,978Ã, mi) Paris to Auckland has 22 people on board and five central tanks. This record lasted until 1997 when Boeing 777-200ER flew 20,044 kilometers (10,823 nmi; 12,455 mi) from Seattle to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on delivery to Malaysia Airlines.
On November 9, 2005, Pakistan's international airline, Boeing 777-200LR, completed the world's longest uninterrupted passenger flight. It traveled 21,602 kilometers (11,664 nmi; 13,423 mi) eastward from Hong Kong to London-Heathrow in approximately 22 hours, 22 minutes compared to the normal western route for the sector, which was much shorter at 9,648 kilometers (5,210 nmi ; 5.995Ã, mi). On board were eight pilots, including Suzanna Darcy-Henneman, Boeing's first test pilot. Although the seat of the aircraft is 301, there are only 27 passengers in it.
In March 2006, British Airways Boeing 777-200 made the longest commercial non-stop flight with paid passengers when hired by British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his entourage from Brussels to Melbourne within 18 hours, 45 minutes.
On March 6, 2016, two days before International Women's Day, Air India operates the world's longest female flight crew. Flight 17 hours, 12,403 kilometers (6,697 nmi; 7,707 mi), AI 173 from Delhi to San Francisco, has staff of all women, including cabin crew, cockpit crew, doctors, customer service staff and field staff including operators, technicians, engineers, dispatchers flights, and trimmers.

According to a report published in September 2015, Miami International Airport (Florida) is in talks with EVA Air and China Airlines from Taiwan to launch before 2018 nonstop flight 13,923 km (7,518 nmi; 8,651 mi) to Taipei. In June 2016, the China Airlines Boeing 777-300ER airline carrying Taiwan President Tsai Ingwen flew nonstop from Taipei to Miami before continuing to Panama. The airport director spoke with President Tsai about the opportunities for scheduled services between Miami and Taipei. The airport has been actively pursuing non-stop flights to East Asia since 2015. There are no non-stop passenger flights between Florida, the third most populous state in the US and East Asia. In May 2017, the director of the aviation department in the region predicted that such flights would occur within the next 24 months.
Qantas can start a non-stop flight between Perth and Paris in mid-2018 with a Boeing 787-9 aircraft. If a plane is available, Qantas can launch a non-stop flight in 2022 from Australia's eastern capital to London. Qantas estimates that the Sydney flight to London (17,016 kilometers (9,188 nmi; 10,573 mi)) will take 20 hours, 20 minutes, while Sydney to New York City (16,013 kilometers (8,646 nmi; 9.950Ã, mi)) will take time 18 hours, 7 minutes. The Airbus A350-900ULR is expected to launch in 2018 with a range of 17,964 kilometers (9,700 nmi; 11,162 mi) and will be able to fly both routes non-stop. The Boeing 777-8 is expected to start operating in 2022, having a range of 16,090 kilometers (8,688 nmi; 9.998 mi), and carrying up to 365 passengers. 777-8X will be able to fly the Sydney route to New York City non-stop with a higher load than the A350-900ULR; However, the 777-8X will not be able to fly Sydney to London non-stop. According to a report published in 2012, Boeing has considered a longer range variant from 777-8, dubbed "777-8LX", which can fly nonstop from Sydney to London.
Air New Zealand envisions non-stop flights from Auckland to New York City (14,207 km (7,671 nmi; 8,828 mi)) and Toronto (13,867 km (7,488 nmi; 8,617 mi)) from the early 2020s. The airline is considering Boeing 777X and Airbus A350-900ULR aircraft to replace its Boeing 777-200ER fleet.
Air India expects to revive its services between Delhi and Los Angeles (12,895 km (8,013 mi; 6,963 nmi)) in the summer of 2018. The airline previously offered connections from LAX to Frankfurt, Germany.
Future Cancellation
United has announced that the airline will cancel its daily nonstop service between Los Angeles and Singapore (UA37/38) on October 27, 2018, citing poor demand for passengers between the two cities. Given this, the airline has expressed interest in adding a second daily flight from San Francisco to Singapore. With this second United flight, there will be 3 non-stop flights daily from San Francisco to Singapore, 2 at United and 1 on Singapore Airlines. Singapore Airlines, however, has expressed interest in starting nonstop flights from Singapore to Los Angeles sometime in 2019 with Airbus A350-900ULR.
Airliner
The longest Airbus jet in service is the A340-500, capable of flying 16,670 kilometers (9,000 nmi; 10,360 mi) with 293 passengers. The A380 is able to fly 15,200 kilometers (8,200 nmi; 9,400Ã mi) with 544 passengers. A350-900 can fly 15,000 kilometers (8,100? Nmi; 9,300 mi) with 325 passengers. Announced A350-900ULR will be able to fly 18,000 kilometers (9,700 nmi; 11,000 mi).
The longest service airliner in Boeing is 777-200LR, which can include 17,446 kilometers (9,420 nmi; 10,840 mi) with 317 passengers. The announced Boeing 777-8X will be able to fly 16,100 kilometers (8,700 nmi; 10,010 mi) with 350 to 375 passengers. The distance variation further than 777-8X can allow economical non-stop flights on the Kangaroo route of 17,016 kilometers (9188? Nmi; 10,573 mi, mi) between London and Sydney in about 19 hours.
Many long-haul, non-stop routes that are not economical are being made by new aircraft such as Airbus A330neo, Airbus A350 XWB, Boeing 777X, and Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
Longest passenger flight
Nonstop flights (big 30, with large loop spacing)
The following table lists the longest non-stop scheduled passenger routes in the world with "big loop" distances. Actual distances traveled, however, can be longer than large circular distances for various reasons, such as avoiding bad weather, taking advantage of favorable winds in the air, rotating around enclosed airspace, and moving around the war zone.
For the purposes of this table, multiple flights operated by the same carrier between the same airports are counted as one flight, while different airlines operating between the same airports are calculated separately. In addition, each airport pair is calculated separately, although some cities have multiple airports that support long haul flights (eg Kennedy and Newark airports serving New York City and Haneda and Narita serving Tokyo).
- Notes
The date given to start Qantas Flight 8 is when it starts flying non-stop after switching to Airbus A380- 800 from Boeing 747 -400ER. Previously, QF 8 needed a stop in Brisbane, although QF 7 to the east of Sydney was always non-stop. The first flight QF 7 is May 16, 2011.
^ Note 2 After Qatar Airways started a nonstop flight between Doha and Auckland on 5 February 2017, the flight is currently operated by the Boeing 777-200LR aircraft fly. 777-200LR is a temporary solution. In the near future, it will be an Airbus A350 but not currently available enough.
^ Note 3 Initially Air Canada flights 37 and 38 will end seasonally on February 4, 2018. They will resume on June 1 and 3, 2018 each as a year-round service.
