Not to be confused with direct flight.

A ''non-stop flight'' is a flight by an aircraft with no intermediate stops.

An ultra long-haul non-stop flight is a flight by a commercially operated airliner without any scheduled intermediate stop of any kind and route length using the higher end of the airliners' range. These flights usually follow a great circle route, often passing over the northern or southern polar region.

Ultra long-haul[edit]

History[edit]

From 1943 to 1945 Qantas operated "The Double Sunrise", a weekly 5,650-kilometre (3,050 nmi) flight between Western Australia and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), with average flight times of 27 hours using a Consolidated PBY Catalina. On 1–2 October 1957 a Trans World Airlines Lockheed L-1649 Starliner, the ultimate piston-engine airliner in terms of range and endurance, flew the inaugural 8,640-kilometre (4,670 nmi) London–San Francisco polar route in 23 h 19 min.[1]

In June 1961 El Al extended the record for the world’s longest scheduled non-stop commercial flight with a 9,270 kilometres (5,010 nmi) route from New York to Tel Aviv. Previously tested on trial runs with a Bristol Britannia in December 1957, the scheduled flight used a Boeing 707, averaging 9 hours 33 minutes.[2]

In August 1967 Aerolineas Argentinas established their non-stop Boeing 707 service on a 10,062-kilometre (5,433 nmi) route between Madrid and Buenos Aires with a flight time of 12 h.[3]

The Aerolineas Argentinas route was the longest scheduled flight by distance until 1976, when the Boeing 747SP entered service. In April 1976 Pan Am set a new record for longest non-stop scheduled flight with its 10,854-kilometre (5,861 nmi) New York–Tokyo route and in December the airline set another record with Sydney–San Francisco, covering 11,937 kilometres (6,445 nmi).

In May 1988 El Al introduced its long-haul passenger flight from Tel Aviv to Los Angeles, completing its 12,189-kilometre (6,582 nmi) journey in 13 h 41 min.

The fall of the Soviet Union eventually opened the airspace over Russia, allowing new circumpolar routes to come into use for commercial airlines.[4] On March 1, 2001, Continental Airlines launched a 13,578-kilometre (7,332 nmi) non-stop service from Newark to Hong Kong—the first non-stop long-haul route for any airline with flying duration exceeding 16 hours.[4] A few days later, United Airlines started their own New York to Hong Kong service, adding 3 kilometers to the distance.[4]

On 3 February 2004, Singapore Airlines introduced a 14,113-kilometre (7,620 nmi) flight from Singapore to Los Angeles, scheduled for 16 h 30 min in summer and 15 h 35 min in winter ; 17 h 20 min in summer and 18 h 5 min in winter on the return trip.

In June 2004, Singapore Airlines introduced Flight SQ21, using the Airbus A340-500 on a 15,344-kilometre (8,285 nmi) great circle route from Newark to Singapore, passing within 130 kilometres (70 nmi) of the North Pole, taking a little over 18 hours.[5] This non-stop scheduled-commercial distance was immediately surpassed by return Flight SQ22, which flew the current record of 16,600-kilometre (9,000 nmi) back to Newark, on a route over Asia and Alaska.[6] Despite the greater distance, Flight SQ22 averaged a slightly shorter 17 h 45 min due to assistance from prevailing high-altitude winds.[7] In service for nine years, revenue was no longer high enough to sustain the service and the routes were dropped in November 2013.[8][9]

Current[edit]

Since 1 March 2016, the longest non-stop scheduled airline flight is Emirates flight EK448 from Dubai, United Arab Emirates to Auckland, New Zealand, and its return flight EK449, at 14,200 kilometres (7,700 nmi). The inaugural flight was flown using an Airbus A380-800,[10][11] but subsequent regular service flights will be flown using a Boeing 777-200LR.[12]

Emirates have subsequently announced that the Dubai - Auckland return flight will switch to an A380 permanently as of December 2016 [13]

Future[edit]

Announced[edit]

On 23 October 2016, Singapore Airlines will begin nonstop flights between Singapore and San Francisco joining United Airlines. The route will be operated by Airbus A350-900 aircraft.[14]

On 2 February 2017, Qatar Airways will begin nonstop flights between Doha and Auckland, making this flight the longest in the world. The flight covers 14,536 kilometres (7,849 nmi) and will be operated by Boeing 777-200LR aircraft.[15][16]

Envisioned[edit]

Miami International Airport (Florida) is in talks with EVA Air and China Airlines of Taiwan to launch before 2018 a nonstop 13,922 km (7,517 nmi) flight to Taipei,[17] and Qantas is considering a nonstop 14,499 km (7,829 nmi) Perth-London service on Boeing 787-9s, to be delivered from 2017.[18]

Singapore Airlines will be the launch customer of the Airbus A350-900 ULR, the A350 ultra-long-range variant, to be delivered in 2018 and enabling the re-launch of the world’s longest non-stop flights between Singapore to Los Angeles (14,113 km or 7,620 nmi) and New York (16,600 km or 9,000 nmi), among other considerations.[19] Seating is reduced from 300 seats in Singapore Airlines standard A350 configuration to 170 to allow for more fuel.[20]

At the January 2016 Bahrain International Airshow, Qatar Airways announced it will add an ultra-long haul route between Doha and Santiago de Chile using a Boeing 777-200LR.[21] The distance between Doha and Santiago is 14,430 km (7,790 nmi), and the flight would take around 18 and a half hours.[22]

In August 2015, Emirates announced a nonstop Dubai-Panama City service due to start from 1 February 2016, covering 13,821 kilometres (7,463 nmi) in 17 hours 35 minutes westbound. However, in January 2016, the flight was postponed to 31 March 2016. In early-March, less than a month before commencing services, Emirates cancelled the flight. It is now due to start in late 2016 or early 2017, when conditions improve.[23][24]

Airliners[edit]

The longest range Airbus jetliner was the A340-500, capable of flying for up to 16,670 kilometres (9,000 nmi) with 293 passengers. Currently, the A380 is capable of flying for 15,200 kilometres (8,200 nmi) with 544 passengers, the A350-900 for 8,100 nautical miles (15,000 km) with 325 passengers and the -900ULR can cover 8,700 nautical miles (16,100 km) legs.[25]

New airliners like the B787 and A350 enable new long range, smaller city pairs and open new network possibilities like the 1980s twinjets (Boeing 767, Airbus A300, and Airbus A310) on transatlantic and some transpacific routes.[26]

The longest range Boeing airliner is the B777-200LR which can cover 15,840 kilometres (8,550 nmi) with 317 passengers, to be replaced by the B777-8X capable of traveling 16,110 kilometres (8,700 nmi) with 350 to 375 passengers, announced on November 2013 and scheduled to enter service in 2020.[27] It could enable economical non-stop flights on the 17,016-kilometre (9,188 nmi) Kangaroo route in 19 hours,[28] or the 16,683 kilometres (9,008 nmi) Nouméa, New Caledonia to Paris CDG,[29] like the Southern Cross Route.

Boeing is currently the dominant manufacturer in the ultra long-haul aircraft segment, with 25 of the 30 longest nonstop flights being operated by Boeing airliners such as the 777-300ER (13), 777-200LR (8), 777-200ER (2), 787-9 (1) and the 747-400ER (1). The Airbus A380-800 is used on the second longest flight and 4 other routes, and the A340-600 on 1 (totals 31 as 2 different aircraft are used on 1 of the flights).[30]

Planned long flights[edit]

Iran Air had planned a non-stop 12,222-kilometre (6,599 nmi) Tehran–Los Angeles flight, which never materialized due to the 1979 Iranian Revolution. It suspended in November 1979 its 9,850-kilometre (5,320 nmi) scheduled non-stop service between New York and Tehran, flown eastward in 11h 15min, begun after its 747SP delivery on 12 March 1976.

Qatar Airways commenced nonstop flights to Los Angeles on 1 January 2016, covering a Great-Circle distance of 13,367 kilometres (7,218 nmi) and taking 16 hours 25 minutes. This service became Qatar Airways longest flight, overtaking the 12,952-kilometre (6,994 nmi) QR713 Doha-Houston Route. The new flight is the sixth longest route in the Top 30 longest nonstop flights. [31]

In June 2015, Turkish Airlines announced that it would start direct, but one-stop, flights from Istanbul to Sydney beginning Summer 2016 after announcing direct flights in 2013 and abandoning the plan, to be followed with Melbourne, with Jakarta shortlisted as one of the stopover cities.[32] However, the addition of stopovers means none of the legs of the journey would make the longest flights list.

Philippine Airlines is replacing its A340-300 with an A350-900HGW high gross weight version available from 2017 enabling non-stop Manila-New York without payload limitations in both directions,[33] a 13,700 km (7,400 nmi) flight.[34]

Exploitation[edit]

The length of flights using current operational procedures would still be limited by flight planning considerations including having sufficient fuel to fly against the wind, to avoid adverse weather, holding, an alternate airport would reduce potential flying distances, as restrictions like ETOPS are no longer a limitation with the A350 having a 370-minute clearance and Boeing's 777 and 787 having a 330-minute clearance.

Along with the chosen cruising air speed, the time taken by a flight depends mainly on the speed and direction of the winds at flight level, which can result in a tailwind, headwind, or crosswind at various points of the flight, and the ATC route. Flights crossing the middle latitudes often encounter the jet stream, which typically flows in a general eastward direction. As a result, flights traveling from west to east often experience a tailwind and have shorter flight times than for flights traveling from east to west, which experience a headwind. Flight schedules account for this effect in an average sense, but when the jet stream is stronger or weaker than normal, or takes an unusual direction, large differences can occur from scheduled flight times.

Record flights[edit]

Focke-Wulf FW 200 B Condor of Deutsche Luft Hansa (model).

On 10–11 August 1938 a Deutsche Luft Hansa Focke-Wulf Fw 200 flew 6,400 kilometres (3,500 nmi) from Berlin to New York in 24 h 56 min.

In August 1989 the first Qantas 747-438 was delivered from Boeing by setting a distance record for a commercial aircraft by flying 18,001 kilometres (9,720 nmi) non-stop between London and Sydney in 20 h 9 min 5 seconds, creating publicity for the airline's "Longreach" services with the 747-400.

On 9 November 2005 a Boeing 777-200LR, dubbed the Worldliner, completed the world's longest non-stop passenger flight. It traveled 21,602 kilometres (11,664 nmi) eastward, as opposed to a normal westward routing for that sector, which is much shorter at 9,647 kilometres (5,209 nmi), from Hong Kong to London, in roughly 22 h 22 min.[35] Aboard the 777-200LR were eight pilots including Suzanna Darcy-Henneman, Boeing's first female test pilot. Although the airplane seats 301, there were only 27 passengers aboard this flight. There were two Boeing executives; several Boeing 777 engineers; representatives from General Electric; and a dozen journalists from around the world. The aircraft belonged to Pakistan International Airlines, Commander Asif Reza, who was the senior vice president flight operations PIA, was in command and assisted by Captain Mohammed Ilyas Malik, designated as check pilot Boeing 777 in PIA, to fly the aircraft as Boeing's "Launch Customer", pending delivery of this very first plane to PIA, registered in Pakistan AP-BGZ.[36] PIA now uses the Boeing 777-200LR on their nonstop flights from Toronto, Canada to Pakistan.

Competition[edit]

The route from New York City (JFK or Newark) to Hong Kong is the longest non-stop route in the world to be served by more than one airline: one daily by United Airlines and five daily by Cathay Pacific (one daily Cathay Pacific Flight goes directly to Newark and a fourth daily flight from JFK that makes a stop in Vancouver), for a great-circle distance of 12,990 kilometres (7,010 nmi) from JFK.[37][38]

The routes served between Los Angeles and Sydney have five airlines operating non-stop flights: Delta Air Lines, Qantas, Virgin Australia, United Airlines and American Airlines. In terms of flight frequency, Emirates has nine ultra-long-haul non-stop destinations from its Dubai base: Auckland, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Los Angeles, Rio de Janeiro, San Francisco, São Paulo, Seattle, Orlando.

Geography[edit]

Because Europe is at the centre of the land hemisphere, the distances from Europe to the largest cities in North/South America, Africa and Asia are not among the longest. The longest flights from Europe are to Buenos Aires (e.g. Lufthansa: FRA-EZE, 11,455 km (6,185 nmi)) and Santiago (e.g. Alitalia: FCO-SCL, 11,875 km (6,412 nmi)) in Southern South America and from South-East Asia (e.g. Garuda Indonesia: LHR-CGK, 11,714 km (6,325 nmi).

The distance from Europe to Australia and New Zealand is longer than these flights but there are no non-stop flights between these continents. The world's longest direct flight is Air New Zealand flight 1, which operates between London Heathrow and Auckland International Airport. However, this flight makes a stop at LAX.

The longest non-stop flights currently running are not the longest city pairs theoretically possible. The longest routes possible are between antipodes, or points on the Earth's surface opposite each other with the Earth's center directly between, a distance of 20,000 kilometres (10,800 nmi) at the meridian. Other proposals include utilization of point-to-point sub-orbital spaceflight for the ultra long-haul distances.

Longest flights[edit]

The four longest non-stop flights as of June 2016, and a fifth route Doha to Auckland (begins 2 February 2017). All but SFO-SIN cross the equator (Note JFK-JNB and LAX-MEL also cross the equator).

The following table lists the world's longest non-stop scheduled passenger routes in distance order. City pairs may be served using different routings on the return journey, which may therefore involve different route length and journey times. Weather conditions, particularly the direction of jet streams, also have a significant impact on the time needed to complete the journey. The city pair routes: AKL-DXB, DFW-SYD, ATL-JNB, JFK-JNB, and LAX-MEL all cross the equator.

Currently scheduled (top 30, by distance)[edit]

For the purposes of this table, multiple frequencies operated by the same airline between the same airports is 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. New York-JFK and Newark-Liberty airports).

Notes:

  1. ^ The first flight on 2 March 2016 was operated by an A380-800, as is the norm on all Emirates inaugurals.
  2. ^ Date that Qantas Flight 8 began flying this route non-stop after switching to the A380-800 from the Boeing 747-400ER. Previously, QF8 required a stop in Brisbane, though outbound QF7 from Sydney to Dallas/Fort Worth was always non-stop and thus, for a time, the longest regularly scheduled commercial flight by distance. The first flight of QF7 was 16 May 2011.[42]

Minneapolis Star-Tribune (Minneapolis, Minnesota: The McClatchy Company). p. 1D. Northwest spokesman Doug Killian said the decision to halt the non-stop flights to Hong Kong was made "well before" Northwest pilots went on strike Aug. 28. The service was canceled Aug. 31 in a reshuffling of several Northwest trans-Pacific flights to adjust to slumping demand. The Hong Kong flight effectively died when the strike began, because it will not resume when Northwest's flight operations resume, Killian said.
