Using data from airline schedulesOAG (Official Aviation Guide) has published its TOP 10 longest flights in July 2023, ranking them by great circle distance in kilometers.
1. The longest flight in the world: from New York-John F. Kennedy (JFK) to Singapore Changi (SIN)
Distance : 15 332 km

Distance : 14 499 km

With an expected flight time of 17 hours and 45 minutes, it is the only top 10 route that features a European airport, as Qantas’ Darwin–Heathrow route, which was in 8th place last year, is not currently in service.
