About This Dataset
Longest Non-Stop Flights in the World 2026
Scheduled non-stop passenger routes ranked by great-circle distance in kilometres. The distance is the shortest path between the two airports, not the track flown: real routings detour around weather, wind and closed airspace, so the flown distance is usually longer.
Analysis
New York-JFK to Singapore, flown by Singapore Airlines, is the longest at 15,349 km, 5 km further than Newark-Singapore. 4 of the 12 longest routes are operated by Qantas, and 7 airlines appear in total. Every route on this chart runs at least 13,983 km. Scheduled times range from 14.9 to 19.2 hours.
