Longest flights

Over time, commercial airlines using fixed-wing aircraft have established a number of scheduled ultra long-haul non-stop flights, reducing 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

The length of a flight can be defined in different ways,⁴ with the most common standard flight length measurement being great-circle distance, a formula that calculates the shortest distance across the curvature of the Earth for two airports' ARPs.⁵

As the only measurement that remains consistent between a specific city-pair and unaffected by operational factors,⁶ it is the standard used to represent flight distances in commercial aviation and is used by governing agencies like ICAO,⁷ flight schedule providers⁸⁹¹⁰ and airlines themselves.¹¹

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-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 allow for variation in boarding procedures, anticipated time of day ground congestion, and even time allocated for remote stand operations.¹⁴¹⁵
• 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 as ASHTAMs and ETOPS limitations), or even cost savings (optimization of overflight payments).¹⁶¹⁷

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

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) with up to 250 passengers in mixed seating.²⁰²¹²² 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.²³ Airbus is currently developing²⁴ a variant of the A350-1000 for Qantas which will have the same range as its sister model the Airbus A350-900ULR 18,000 kilometres (11,000 mi; 9,700 nmi).²⁵

The longest-range Boeing airliner in service is the 777-200LR, which can cover 17,395 kilometres (10,809 mi; 9,393 nmi) with 301 passengers.²⁷²⁸ Boeing also considered developing a 777-200LR derivative for Qantas. 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. Enabling the ability to fly between Sydney and London with a range of just over 18,500 kilometres (11,510 mi; 10,000 nmi).²⁹ The announced Boeing 777-8 will be capable of flying 16,170 kilometres (10,050 mi; 8,730 nmi) with 350 to 375 passengers,³⁰ with the Boeing 787-9 being able to fly 14,140 kilometres (8,790 mi; 7,630 nmi) with 290 passengers.³¹

Many ultra 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.³² For example, Singapore Airlines Flights 21 and 22, the route launched in 2004³³ but called it off in 2013,³⁴ back then operating costs are vulnerable to fluctuations in oil prices and passenger experience also differs from other routes, because the A340 operates in an all-business-class layout, maintaining sufficient guest traffic and controlling expenses becomes challenging, making the model economically unviable.³⁵ Given flight durations exceeding 16 hours and sometimes fuel savings are achieved through jet stream,³⁶ specially designed cabins (Stretching zone, sky bar and sleep pod, etc.³⁷³⁸) and high-speed internet have been introduced accordingly, to set a new standard for future long-haul.³⁹⁴⁰⁴¹

In the 1910's, the world's first commercial intercity air routes were operated by airships.⁴² With the rise of fixed-wing aircraft, the records for longest flights started to emerge. Since the first scheduled commercial passenger flight in 1914 that covered 34 kilometres (21 mi; 18 nmi),⁴³⁴⁴ records for the longest flight (by great-circle distance) were rapidly set and continue to be set today.

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.⁴⁵

• May 23, 1926 (1926-05-23): Following the end of WWI, there was a boom in the development of longer non-stop commercial flights such as Brussels-Paris (March 1919),⁴⁶⁴⁷⁴⁸ London-Paris (August 1919),⁴⁹⁵⁰ and Amsterdam-London (May 1920).⁵¹⁵² 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-2.⁵³⁵⁴⁵⁵
• August 21, 1934 (1934-08-21): 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.⁵⁶⁵⁷
• October 21, 1936 (1936-10-21): 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.⁵⁸ Flying from San Francisco to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, non-stop, a distance of 3,871 kilometres (2,405 mi; 2,090 nmi)⁵⁹ in 19 hours, 36 minutes.^60616263
• June 28, 1939 (1939-06-28): The first scheduled commercial transatlantic flight was operated by Pan American Airways on a Boeing B-314 Clipper with 22 paying passengers on board.⁶⁴ Flying from Port Washington, New York⁶⁵⁶⁶ to Horta, Azores non-stop, a distance of 3,827 kilometres (2,378 mi; 2,066 nmi)⁶⁷ in 15 hours, 55 minutes.⁶⁸⁶³

• September 9, 1940 (1940-09-09): 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, Portugal⁶⁹ in a scheduled time of 19 hours and 5 minutes.⁷⁰⁷¹⁷²
• June 29, 1943 (1943-06-29) – July 17, 1945 (1945-07-17): 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.⁷³ The flight from Ceylon to Australia on 30 August 1943, remains the record holder for longest time airborne (for a commercial passenger flight) at 32 hours, 9 minutes.^{74757677787980a}
• January 26, 1949 (1949-01-26) – July 20, 1949 (1949-07-20): Having their operating certificates revoked and/or airfields closed to them in India, Pakistan, Ceylon, and Burma⁸¹⁸² 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.^83848586
• November 18, 1952 (1952-11-18): 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,⁸⁷ covering a great-circle distance of 6,202 kilometres (3,854 mi; 3,349 nmi) in 11 hours 30 minutes.⁸⁸⁸⁹ It would go on to be flown in as short as 9 hours 48 minutes.⁹⁰
• September 29, 1957 (1957-09-29): 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.⁹¹
• October 2, 1957 (1957-10-02): 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).⁹²⁹³⁹⁴
• October 3, 1957 (1957-10-03): Trans World Airlines broke their own longest flight record, again using the L-1649A, with the launch of TW850s non-stop flight from San Francisco to Paris–Orly⁹⁵⁹⁶⁹⁷ covering 9,001 kilometres (5,593 mi; 4,860 nmi) in a scheduled flight time of 19 hours, 45 minutes.^9899100

• June 15, 1961 (1961-06-15): El Al used its new Boeing 707-458s¹⁰¹ 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.¹⁰²
• January 7, 1963 (1963-01-07): 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.¹⁰³ Covering 9,594 kilometres (5,961 mi; 5,180 nmi), in 16 hours, 25 minutes.¹⁰⁴¹⁰⁵
• August 6, 1967 (1967-08-06): 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.¹⁰⁶¹⁰⁷ The arrival of the more fuel-efficient turbofans made easier the possibility of longer flights.

• April 26, 1976 (1976-04-26): 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.¹⁰⁸¹⁰⁹
• December 12, 1976 (1976-12-12): 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.¹¹⁰¹¹¹

• 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).^112113114
• November 3, 1991 (1991-11-03): 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).¹¹⁵¹¹⁶

In the late 2000s/early 2010s, rising fuel prices coupled with the 2008 financial crisis and the Great Recession caused the cancellation of many ultra long-haul, non-stop flights.²⁶ This included the services provided by Singapore Airlines from Singapore to both Newark and Los Angeles that were ended in late 2013.¹¹⁷¹¹⁸ 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.²⁶

• February 1, 2000 (2000-02-01): 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)^119120121
• March 1, 2001 (2001-03-01): With the dissolution of the Soviet Union, commercial overflights over Russia were now possible, allowing new circumpolar routes to come into use for airlines.¹²² 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.¹²²
• April 1, 2001 (2001-04-01): 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).¹²²
• February 3, 2004 (2004-02-03): 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.^123124125126
• June 8, 2004 (2004-06-08): 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. 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.
• October 18, 2018 (2018-10-18): Singapore Airlines relaunched Flight SQ 21/22 between Singapore and Newark¹²⁷ using an Airbus A350-900ULR.

• March 15, 2020 (2020-03-15): 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–CDG, using a Boeing 787-9 and covering 15,715 km (9,765 mi; 8,485 nmi) in a scheduled time of 16 hours 20 minutes,¹²⁸¹²⁹ setting a new record for the world's longest scheduled passenger flight.¹³⁰¹³¹
• November 9, 2020 (2020-11-09): 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 A350-900.¹³² On 16 January 2021, this route was changed to operate using an A350-900ULR.¹³³

On 9 November 2020, Singapore Airlines Flights 23 and 24 became the longest active scheduled passenger flight by great-circle distance,¹³⁴ using an Airbus A350-900ULR between Singapore Changi Airport and New York JFK Airport at 15,349 kilometres (9,537 mi; 8,288 nmi).¹³⁵

The longest-ever scheduled passenger flight was Air Tahiti Nui's flight TN64 using a Boeing 787-9, flying non-stop from Faaʻa International Airport in Papeete, Tahiti to Paris–CDG,¹³⁶ a distance of 15,715 kilometres (9,765 mi; 8,485 nmi) in a scheduled duration of 16 hours, 20 minutes.¹³¹ This route was operated from March to April 2020.¹³⁰

This route was previously operated with a refueling stop at Los Angeles International Airport, where all passengers would disembark and pass through United States Customs & Border Protection, then re-board and continue to Paris. However, to comply with COVID-19 pandemic restrictions banning European travelers from entering the United States,¹³⁷ the airline opted not to stop at Los Angeles in March and April 2020. The route was also made possible by the aircraft's reduced passenger load of about 150 passengers,¹³⁸ 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.

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

On 9 November 2020, the record for active longest flight (measured by ground distance traveled) was set by Singapore Airlines' flight SQ24 between Singapore-Changi and New York–JFK in the U.S. Both SQ24 and its return flight SQ23 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) over the Pacific Ocean where jet streams can assist, while SQ23 back to Singapore holds the current record for the second longest flight by ground distance as it sometimes opts, instead of the westward polar route, to fly a ground distance of 16,500 km (10,300 mi; 8,900 nmi) eastward, across the Atlantic Ocean, when favorable jet streams winds are available to save flying time and fuel.

Similarly, the two Air India flights from New Delhi to San Francisco, AI173 and AI183, fly an eastward ground distance of about 15,110 km (9,390 mi; 8,160 nmi) over the Pacific Ocean instead of the shorter polar great-circle route of about 12,403 km (7,707 mi; 6,697 nmi) to avoid prevailing westerly headwinds and save almost two hours of flying time.¹³⁹ 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 2016,¹⁴⁰ and it is not unheard of for particular flights to cover more than 16,000 km (9,900 mi; 8,600 nmi).

Cathay Pacific flights from Hong Kong to New York–JFK 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.

After the Russian invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, aircraft registered in or operated by multiple countries, including the European Union member states, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Switzerland, were banned from using Russian airspace. In response a number of flights from Japan to Europe changed to a polar route over Alaska and northern Canada. For example, Swiss International Air Lines flight LX161 from Tokyo–Narita to Zurich often flies this route, sometimes covering a ground distance of 13,400 km (8,326 mi; 7,235 nmi) or longer, compared to a great-circle distance of 9,618 km (5,976 mi; 5,193 nmi). Others, such as Lufthansa's flight LH716 from Frankfurt to Tokyo-Haneda, instead avoid Russian airspace by flying over the Caucasus, Central Asia, and China.

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).

The purpose was to publicize the airline's "Longreach" services with the 747-400.^272273274
• June 16, 1993 (1993-06-16): 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.²⁷⁵ 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)²⁷⁶ in 21 hours and 46 minutes. This was the first non-stop flight between Europe and New Zealand.^277278279
• March 31, 1997 (1997-03-31): 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.^280281282

• March 25, 2006 (2006-03-25): 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.²⁸⁹ 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.²⁸⁹
• March 28, 2021 (2021-03-28): A Comlux Boeing 787-8, registered P4-787, set a new record for the longest commercial non-stop flight with paying passengers.

• 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.³⁰³ 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.³⁰⁴ The airport has been actively pursuing a non-stop flight to East Asia since 2015. There were no non-stop passenger flights between Florida, the third-most populous state in the U.S., and East Asia,³⁰⁵³⁰⁶ until February 2026 between Orlando and Tokyo Narita.³⁰⁷ In May 2017, the region's aviation department director predicted such a flight would happen within the next 24 months.³⁰⁸ In November 2020, Starlux Airlines applied for rights to operate this Taipei – Miami route along with 14 others.³⁰⁹ In 2023, Starlux announced they intend to launch one new US destination per year to connect to the "Western, Midwest, and Eastern" US.³¹⁰
• On 25 August 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.³¹¹ On 20 October 2019, Qantas demonstrated the New York-JFK to Sydney flight using a Boeing 787-9.³¹² 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 14 November 2019, and landing on 15 November, 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).³¹³ In December 2019, Qantas announced they had selected an Airbus A350-1000 (with some potential modifications) for Project Sunrise if the flights proceed.³¹⁴ The Airbus A350-1000 entered into service in February 2018 with a range of 16,100 kilometres (10,004 mi; 8,693 nmi)³¹⁵ and is capable of flying non-stop both Sydney – London and Sydney – New York City.³¹⁶³¹⁴
• In November 2019, El Al announced it was exploring a new non-stop Tel Aviv – Melbourne route with 3 initial scheduled roundtrip "test" flights,³¹⁷ covering a great-circle distance of 13,736 km (8,535 mi; 7,417 nmi).³¹⁸ 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 2 April 2020. It covered an actual flight distance of 14,760 km (9,171 mi; 7,970 nmi). 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 time³¹⁹ and in February 2023 Oman opened its airspace to all "qualified commercial carriers"³²⁰ 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.³²¹³²²
• In May 2021, Vietnam Airlines received government's approval³²³ 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).³²⁴³²³ In November 2021, Vietnam Airlines launched the first of such transpacific flights flying between Ho Chi Minh City and San Francisco, utilizing the A350-900 with flight numbers VN98/99.³²⁵
• 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 to Santiago route that if operated non-stop, will cover a great circle distance of 13,094 km (8,136 mi; 7,070 nmi).³²⁶ 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.³²⁷ An indirect version of the service with a stopover in São Paulo began in late 2024, with the airline's first plane landing at Santiago's Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport on 18 December.³²⁸
• In October 2024, Air India received approval from India's DGCA for flights to be operated from New Delhi to Dallas, 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.³²⁹
• In December 2024, it was reported that Turkish Airlines, which currently operates direct flights from Istanbul to Melbourne via Singapore and to Sydney via Kuala Lumpur, would start non-stop flights from Istanbul to Melbourne, a great-circle distance of 14,634 km (9,093 mi; 7,902 nmi),³³⁰ and from Istanbul to Sydney, a great-circle distance of 14,968 km (9,301 mi; 8,082 nmi),³³¹ in 2026, upon delivery of Airbus A350-1000 jets.³³²
• In January 2025, Turkish Airlines announced their intention to start direct flights from Istanbul to Auckland via Singapore in 2025.³³³ In April 2025, it was reported that non-stop flights from Istanbul to Auckland, a great-circle distance of 17,069 km (10,606 mi; 9,217 nmi),³³⁴ were also considered.³³⁵

• In August 2015, Emirates announced that non-stop flights between Dubai and Panama City would begin on 1 February 2016, covering 13,821 km (8,588 mi; 7,463 nmi)³³⁶ 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." As of 2026, 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".³³⁷ 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 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).³³⁸³³⁹ 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.³⁴⁰ 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 as of 2026, still no firm plans announced for the envisioning of launching this route.³⁴¹
• 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).³⁴² Though originally planned for October 2020, the launch was delayed repeatedly amid the COVID-19 pandemic and as of 2026 has not launched.^343344345346
