A '''non-stop flight''' is a [[flight]] by an [[aircraft]] with no intermediate [[layover|stops]].
A '''non-stop flight''' is a [[flight]] by an [[aircraft]] with no intermediate stops, as opposed to a [[direct flight]], which is any flight with no change in flight number, but which may include one or more stops.


==History==
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 airliner's [[range (aeronautics)|range]]. These flights usually follow a [[Great-circle navigation|great circle route]], often passing over the northern or southern [[polar region]].
During the early age of aviation industry when aircraft range was limited, most flights were served in the form of a [[milk run]], aka there were many stops along the route.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Cosgrove |first=Cole |date=2015-06-11 |title=The Milk Run is a hop, skip and a jump along Southeast Alaska’s coast |url=https://news.alaskaair.com/alaska-airlines/the-milk-run-flight/ |access-date=2024-06-11 |website=Alaska Airlines News |language=en-US}}</ref> But as aviation technology developed and aircraft capability improved, non-stop flights began to take over and have now become a dominant form of flight in the modern times.


The [[dissolution of the Soviet Union]] in 1991 eventually opened up Russian airspace, allowing commercial airlines to exploit new circum[[polar route]]s and enabling many new non-stop services, removing the need of making stopover in-between.<ref name=Russia>{{cite news | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2001/03/30/opinion/from-newark-over-the-north-pole.html | title=From Newark Over the North Pole | work=[[New York Times]] | date=30 March 2001 | access-date=2016-04-01}}</ref>
== Ultra long-haul ==


In the late 2000s to early 2010s, rising fuel prices coupled with [[Financial crisis of 2007–2008|economic crisis]] resulted in cancellation of many ultra-long haul non-stop flights.<ref name="689a1618">[https://www.ft.com/content/689a1618-814d-11e5-8095-ed1a37d1e096 A new era of 'ultra-long-haul' aviation]</ref> As fuel prices fell and aircraft became more economical the economic viability of ultra long haul flights improved.<ref name="689a1618" />
=== History ===

From 1943 to 1945 [[Qantas]] operated "[[The Double Sunrise]]", a weekly {{convert|5650|km|nmi|adj=on}} 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 {{convert|8640|km|nmi|adj=on}} [[Heathrow Airport|London]]–[[San Francisco International Airport|San Francisco]] polar route in 23 h 19 min.<ref>Peter J. Marson, The Lockheed Constellation. Tonbridge, Kent, England: Air-Britain (Historians), 2007</ref>

In June 1961 [[El Al]] extended the record for the world's longest scheduled non-stop commercial flight with a {{convert|9270|km|nmi}} route from [[John F. Kennedy International Airport|New York]] to [[Ben Gurion Airport|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.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.elal.co.il/elal/english/states/usa/pressroom/en_press_room_items/usa_news_65th_anniversary261113.html |title= EL AL Israel Airlines celebrates its 65th anniversary |publisher= [[El Al]] |date= 15 November 2013 }}</ref>

In August 1967 [[Aerolineas Argentinas]] established their non-stop Boeing 707 service on a {{convert|10062|km|nmi|adj=on}} route between [[Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport|Madrid]] and [[Ministro Pistarini International Airport|Buenos Aires]] with a flight time of 12 h.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://hemeroteca.abc.es/nav/Navigate.exe/hemeroteca/madrid/abc/1967/09/28/020.html |title= Buenos Aires-Madrid advertisement |publisher= [[ABC.es]] |date= 28 September 1967 |page= 20 |access-date= 17 October 2013}}</ref>

The Aerolineas Argentinas route was the longest scheduled flight by distance until 1976, when the [[Boeing 747SP]] entered service. In April 1976 [[Pan American World Airways|Pan Am]] set a new record for longest non-stop scheduled flight with its {{convert|10854|km|nmi|adj=on}} [[John F. Kennedy International Airport|New York]]–[[Haneda Airport|Tokyo]] route and in December the airline set another record with [[Sydney Airport|Sydney]]–[[San Francisco International Airport|San Francisco]], covering {{convert|11937|km|nmi}}.

In May 1988 [[El Al#The 1970s and 1980s|El Al]] introduced its long-haul passenger flight from [[Ben Gurion Airport|Tel Aviv]] to [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]], completing its {{convert|12189|km|nmi|adj=on}} journey in 13 h 41&nbsp;min.

The [[Dissolution of the Soviet Union|fall of the Soviet Union]] eventually opened the airspace over Russia, allowing new circumpolar routes to come into use for commercial airlines.<ref name=Russia>{{cite news |url=http://www.nytimes.com/2001/03/30/opinion/from-newark-over-the-north-pole.html |title=From Newark Over the North Pole |author= |publisher=[[New York Times]] |date=2001-03-30 |accessdate=2016-04-01}}</ref> On March 1, 2001, [[Continental Airlines]] launched a {{convert|13578|km|nmi|adj=on}} non-stop service from [[Newark Liberty International Airport|Newark]] to [[Hong Kong International Airport|Hong Kong]]&mdash;the first non-stop long-haul route for any airline with flying duration exceeding 16 hours.<ref name=Russia/> A few days later, [[United Airlines]] started their own [[John F. Kennedy International Airport|New York]] to [[Hong Kong International Airport|Hong Kong]] service, adding 3 kilometers to the distance.<ref name=Russia/>

On 3 February 2004, [[Singapore Airlines]] introduced a {{convert|14113|km|nmi|adj=on}} flight from [[Singapore Changi Airport|Singapore]] to [[Los Angeles International Airport|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 [[Singapore Airlines Flight 21|SQ21]], using the [[Airbus A340-500]] on a {{convert|15344|km|nmi|adj=on}} [[great circle route]] from [[Newark Liberty International Airport|Newark]] to [[Singapore Changi Airport|Singapore]], passing within {{convert|130|km|nmi}} of the [[Geographic North Pole|North Pole]], taking a little over 18 hours.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://flightaware.com/live/flight/SIA21 |title=Singapore Airlines 21 |work=[[FlightAware]] |date=2013-11-23 |accessdate=2016-04-01}}</ref> This non-stop scheduled-commercial distance was immediately surpassed by return Flight SQ22, which flew the current record of {{convert|16,600|km|nmi|adj=on}} back to Newark, on a route over Asia and [[Alaska]].<ref>{{cite news |url= http://www.singapore-window.org/sw04/040628af.htm |title= SIA sets new world record with direct flight to New York |author= [[Agence France Presse]] |publisher= Singapore Window |date= 2004-06-28 |accessdate=2016-04-01}}</ref> Despite the greater distance, Flight SQ22 averaged a slightly shorter 17 h 45 min due to assistance from prevailing high-altitude winds.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://flightaware.com/live/flight/SIA22 |title=Singapore Airlines 22 |work=[[FlightAware]] |date=2013-11-23 |accessdate=2016-04-01}}</ref> In service for nine years, revenue was no longer high enough to sustain the service and the routes were dropped in November 2013.<ref>{{cite news |last=Doyle |first=Andrew |title=SIA to drop nonstop USA flights as Airbus buys back A340s |url=http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/sia-to-drop-nonstop-usa-flights-as-airbus-buys-back-a340s-378006/ |newspaper=flightglobal.com |date=24 October 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/26/business/last-call-for-the-long-haul-from-singapore-to-newark.html?_r=0 |title=Last Call for the Long Haul From Singapore to Newark |author=Mike Tierney |publisher=[[The New York Times]] |date=2013-11-25 |accessdate=2016-04-01}}</ref>

[[Singapore Airlines]] will be restarting its non-stop flight to the United States from 23 October 2016. Singapore Airlines Flight SQ32 will depart Singapore at 0830 and arrive in San Francisco at 0805. The return flight SQ31 will depart San Francisco at 0935 and arrive in Singapore at 1820. This service will be served using the airline's brand new [[Airbus A350 XWB|Airbus A350-900ULR]] aircraft. This will be Singapore Airline's longest route in its network until 2018, when non-stop services from Singapore to New York will be restarted.

=== Exploitation ===

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, and holding. Restrictions like [[ETOPS]] are no longer a limitation with the [[A350]] having a 370-minute clearance by European authorities and [[Boeing]]'s 777 and 787 having a 330-minute clearance by FAA.

Along with the chosen cruising [[air speed]], the time taken by a flight depends mainly on the [[Air traffic control|ATC]] route, and 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. 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 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 ===
[[File:Focke-Wulf FW B 200 Condor.jpg|thumb|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 {{convert|6400|km|nmi}} from Berlin to New York in 24 h 56 min.

In August 1989 the first [[Qantas]] [[Boeing 747-400|747-438]] being delivered by Boeing set a distance record for a commercial aircraft by flying {{convert|18001|km|nmi}} non-stop between [[London Heathrow Airport|London]] and Sydney in 20 h 9 min 5 seconds, creating publicity for the airline's "Longreach" services with the 747-400.
The flight departed London/Heathrow under command of Captain David Massey-Greene, Qantas Boeing 747-400 Project Pilot, with a flight crew comprising Qantas Captains Ray Heiniger, Rob Greenop and George Lindeman, with Captain Chet Chester from Boeing. In addition to the five pilots, there were two cabin crew and sixteen passengers aboard. <ref>http://www.airwaysmuseum.com/Qantas%201st%20England-Aust%20non-stop%201989.htm</ref>

On 9 November 2005 a [[Pakistan International Airlines]] Boeing 777-200LR, dubbed the ''[[Worldliner]]'', completed the world's longest non-stop passenger flight. It traveled {{convert|21602|km|nmi}} eastward, from [[Hong Kong Airport|Hong Kong]] to [[London Heathrow|London]], in roughly 22 h 22 min, as opposed to a normal westward routing for that sector, which is much shorter at {{convert|9647|km|nmi}}.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.seattlepi.com/default/article/Flight-distance-record-awaits-as-big-777-heads-to-1187040.php |title= Flight-distance record awaits as big 777 heads to London |publisher= Seattle PI |date= 8 November 2005 |access-date= 1 July 2011}}</ref> 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. Commander Asif Reza, senior vice president flight operations PIA, was in command and assisted by Captain Mohammed Ilyas Malik, designated PIA check pilot for the Boeing 777, to fly the aircraft as Boeing's "launch customer", pending delivery of this very first plane to PIA, registered in Pakistan AP-BGZ.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://archives.dailytimes.com.pk/business/11-Nov-2005/pia-creates-world-commercial-aviation-history |title= PIA creates world commercial aviation history |date= 11 November 2005 |publisher= [[Daily Times (Pakistan)]] }}</ref> PIA now uses the Boeing 777-200LR on their nonstop flights from Toronto, Canada to Pakistan.

On 8 March 2016, the [[International Women's Day]] [[Air India]] operated the world's longest all women crew flight. The 17-hour, 12402 km (7706 mi) long flight, AI 173 from Delhi to San Francisco had an all women staff including cabin crew, cockpit crew, doctor, customer care staff and also the ground staff including the operator, technician, engineer, flight dispatcher and trimmer. A Boeing B777-200 LR was used on the flight. The historic flight was under the command of Captain Kshamta Bajpayee and Captain Shubhangi Singh along with First Officers Captain Ramya Kirti Gupta and Captain Amrit Namdhari.<ref>http://www.airindia.in/newsdetail.htm?620</ref>

=== Competition ===

The route from San Francisco to Singapore is the longest non-stop route in the world to be served by more than one airline: one daily each by [[United Airlines]] and by Singapore Airlines.

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 (airline)|Emirates]] has nine ultra-long-haul non-stop destinations from its [[Dubai International Airport|Dubai]] base: [[Auckland International Airport|Auckland]], [[Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport|Dallas/Fort Worth]], [[George Bush Intercontinental Airport|Houston]], [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]], [[Rio de Janeiro–Galeão International Airport|Rio de Janeiro]], [[San Francisco International Airport|San Francisco]], [[São Paulo–Guarulhos International Airport|São Paulo]], [[Seattle–Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Orlando International Airport|Orlando]].

=== Geography ===

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]]: [[Frankfurt Airport|FRA]]-[[Ministro Pistarini International Airport|EZE]], {{Convert|6185|nmi|km|abbr=on|order=flip}}) and [[Santiago]] (e.g. [[Alitalia]]: [[Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport |FCO]]-[[Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport|SCL]], {{Convert|6412|nmi|km|abbr=on|order=flip}}) in Southern South America and from South-East Asia (e.g. [[Garuda Indonesia]]: [[London Heathrow|LHR]]-[[Soekarno-Hatta International Airport|CGK]], {{Convert|6325|nmi|km|abbr=on|order=flip}}).

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 [[Los Angeles International Airport|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 {{convert|20000|km|nmi|-2}} at the [[Meridian (geography)|meridian]]. Other proposals include utilization of [[Spaceflight#Point-to-point|point-to-point sub-orbital spaceflight]] for the ultra long-haul distances.

==Longest flights==
[[File:Boeing 777-2DZLR, Qatar Airways JP7449421.jpg|thumb|A [[Qatar Airways]] [[Boeing 777-200LR]], the aircraft that operates most of the airline's longest routes.]]
The following table lists the world's longest non-stop scheduled passenger routes by distance. 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)===
For the purposes of this table, multiple flights operated by the same airline between the same airports are 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).
<!-- comment here

-- Because of the dynamic nature and content of the table, please stick to the following rules the table so that the table stays simple to read with less clutter:

a) Add only the leg with the longest duration flight info between two cities operated by the ''same'' airline keeping inline with the rules mentioned in the opening/first paragraph of the article
b) Please do not add code share flight details
c) If a flight is discontinued, please move the row to Discontinued table below

examples: City A to City B, FL01 operates in 17 h
City B to City A, FL02 operates in 17 h 15 min

==> Add one row as entry, B to A with FL02 flight details

== Airlines and aircraft types for non-stop flights ==

The sections below gives two separate views.
The first one lists all the commercial aircraft types used for serving non-stop flights and their currently scheduled and operating longest flight. The second section attempts to list all the passenger airline companies in the world and their longest scheduled non-stop flight currently in operation.

=== By aircraft type ===
The table below lists the current longest ('''by distance''') non-stop flights operated by different types of aircraft.

Notes:

Qatar Airways Flight 921 from Auckland to Doha, which will be the longest flight in the world, will be flown with a Boeing 777-200LR when it starts 2 February 2017, overtaking Emirates' spot with their Auckland-Dubai flight.

The longest Airbus A350-900 flight will soon be Singapore Airlines' nonstop flight from San Francisco to Singapore starting on 23 October 2016, which will be tied for the third longest flight in the world.

A non-stop flight is a flight by an aircraft with no intermediate stops, as opposed to a direct flight, which is any flight with no change in flight number, but which may include one or more stops.

History

[edit]

During the early age of aviation industry when aircraft range was limited, most flights were served in the form of a milk run, aka there were many stops along the route.[1] But as aviation technology developed and aircraft capability improved, non-stop flights began to take over and have now become a dominant form of flight in the modern times.

The dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 eventually opened up Russian airspace, allowing commercial airlines to exploit new circumpolar routes and enabling many new non-stop services, removing the need of making stopover in-between.[2]

In the late 2000s to early 2010s, rising fuel prices coupled with economic crisis resulted in cancellation of many ultra-long haul non-stop flights.[3] As fuel prices fell and aircraft became more economical the economic viability of ultra long haul flights improved.[3]

Direct flights and non-stop flights are often confused with each other. Starting March 31, 2019, American Airlines started offering non-stop flights from Phoenix, Arizona to London, England,[4] meaning that the plane leaves Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and lands at Heathrow Airport. Conversely, a direct flight simply means that passengers typically would not get off the plane if it stops (lands) at a location between the two cities.
