The whole world suffered and is still suffering from Corona virus. However, when it comes to the aviation industry, then it’s definitely one of the most industries that had suffered. Many flights were rescheduled, or worse, cancelled. Airlines are facing extraordinarily problems due to the pandemic. Hence, airlines need to save money, by rescheduling some of their flights. But what about the long-haul (nonstop) flights? Are they rescheduled too?

It is widely known that the longest non-stop flight in the world is operated by Singapore Airlines, from New York – Newark (EWR) to Singapore (SIN). This flight is not operating during the pandemic, the last one landed about 10 months ago. The distance is more than 9.500 miles, which usually takes more than 18 hours on board. Usually flying an Airbus a350 as a long-haul plane, so pilots do not need to land in between these two locations.

Another long-haul (non-stop) flight, is operated by Qatar Airways, but now there arent any operations to this destination as well. They usually use a Boeing 777 for this route and the distance is more than 9.000 miles usually taking more than 18 hours on board.

The journey starts in Perth and it takes up to 18 hours to get to land at the most popular airport in London – Heathrow. Number of flown miles rise up to 9.000 during this flight.
