Longest Scheduled Nonstop Commercial Flight?
 

Emirates Inaugural nonstop - LAX / DXB to debut soon.

Heading East to DXB out of LAX, it's less only about 400 miles zero wind distance than heading West!

Is this the longest regularly scheduled commercial nonstop flight to date?

Not even close. I think the Singapore Airlines route from SIN to EWR is about 1000nm further.

SIN to EWR and SIN to LAX using SQ A340-500 are the longest non stop commercial flights.....

Sorry Guys, but where's EWR ?

Google "ewr airport" shows Newark....

Newark, New York , US of A.

Wikipedia (I know its not guaranteed) has

SQ21 EWR-SIN 18hrs 40min on 29-06-04 (8963nm)

EK215 DXB-LAX 16hrs 35min on 26-10-08 (7246nm) (start date)

If this info is correct Emirates doesn't even come close.

Next time I'm onboard I'll try to get the Great Circle distances from our nav kit. Not sure if our database has all these places as we only fly Europe and Middle East,

Fly safe.

You are not Guard Police in your other life are you?

Entire post goes to spotters corner and questions on how long a statute mile are welcomed!

This topic was dealt with a couple months ago! Longest scheduled non stop commercial flight is currently Singapore (SIN) to Newark (EWR). It was in Spotters Balcony I think...

How long will the EK crews get in LAX?

since we're working on spooter's balcony already:

is LAX-DXB heading west really only ~7650nm?
