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.
