The previous record belonged to Singapore Airlines from Singapore to New York, the flight length was 15344 km. But there is a small nuance, this flight was associated with the coronavirus epidemic and was performed once, but the Singapore – New York flight is a regular one. However, this is the longest non-stop domestic flight in history.

It should also be noticed that the longest flights do not have to be classified by distance between airports. Aircraft do not fly strictly in a straight line and therefore, if you take the actual distance of the flight, it often exceeds 16,000 kilometres.

There are even longer flights - up to 21602 kilometres, however, it is either planes being transferred from one place to another or charters with a minimum number of passengers.
