Longest, scheduled non-stop 737 route
OK, it seems to be the season for this type of question, so who can find the answer to this one - what is the longest scheduled non-stop 737 route and who operates it?

Hi,
Astraeus currently operates the world's longest non-stop B737 scheduled service from Gatwick to Malabo. The flight is over 7 hours long and covers a distance of 3313 miles.
BAe 146-100

The LH daily business class operation from Munich to Newark shows as 3,521 nm. This seems to be the longest 737 run listed. The Dusseldorf to Newark, and indeed Dusseldorf to Chicago runs, are now done with A319s.
Gatwick to Malabo is 2,872 nm. Is this a schedule? And at charter seat pitch?
The Air Pacific 737-800 run from Nadi, Fiji, to Honolulu is 2,748 nm miles, which probably makes third place, but is the most exposed as it is all across the ocean.

Copa Airlines operates some pretty lengthy sectors with their 737-700 and -800's.
Panama City - Buenos Aires
Panama City - Santaigo de Chile
Both flights average 6 hours.

Futura used to operate weekly the route Teneriffe South-Tromso with a 737-800 (about 7 hrs flight), with a single set of crew for the return flight!! (Too flexible spanish regulations)

Slightly off topic
In 1979 I did Luton to Freetown, Sierra Leone in a Britannia 737-200; but it did a crew change at Casablanca southbound, and Las Palmas northwards. Quite far enough on a small plane.
I think they were also flying to Upper Volta in the same period

From OAG data it appears to be Sao Tome - Lisbon with Air Luxor at 2464 nm (GCD). YVR-MIA is 2430 nm (GCD).
To qualify the above, that's for an A320 rather than a A319/321.

Isn't there a Royal Flight Charter in Abu Dhabi operating a scheduled service between Abu Dhabi and Geneve with a BBJ (-700) with about 40-50 seats...
AUH (24°25'42"N 54°27'29"E) GVA (46°14'17"N 06°06'32"E) 3056 mi
