Top 3 Longest Flights in the World: Operated by Singapore Airlines, Qatar Airways, and Qantas

Not every passenger has had to travel more than 9,000 miles by plane, journeying from one end of the world to the other. Typically, there are always connections on such routes, but it may not be very convenient.

However, some airlines still regularly fly their passengers over ultra-long distances. The Independent newspaper has prepared a list of the longest air routes and has highlighted the cities they connect.

Singapore - New York (Singapore Airlines)

Since 2018, the company has been allowing customers to travel 9,537 miles nonstop in 18 hours and 7 minutes. The first flight was a one-off and was repeated only in 2020 from its base at Singapore Changi Airport to New York's John F. Kennedy Airport.

The airline operates an Airbus A350-900ULR aircraft on this route, which can carry 250 to 350 passengers in a typical three-class configuration, with a maximum capacity of 440-550 passengers depending on the modification.

Auckland - Doha (Qatar Airways)

Passengers traveling from New Zealand to Qatar can cover the distance of 9,032 miles in 16 hours and 30 minutes.

The route is operated by a Boeing 777-200LR, which crosses 10 time zones while traveling over the Indian Ocean.

Perth - London (Qantas)

The Australian airline allows its passengers to cover 9009 miles in 16 hours and 45 minutes. Qantas flight 9 from Perth to London Heathrow resumed at the end of May 2022, as the company had previously suspended flights for 2 years during the pandemic.
