Longest Flights from New York by Distance

Sun May 28, 2017 1:16 am

Hello, everybody! The latest "Longest Flights to New York" has not been updated in a while, and many routes have started since then. Here are the longest:

LONGEST FLIGHTS FROM NEW YORK BY DISTANCE

1. Cathay Pacific to Hong Kong (CX 831/841/845). Distance = 12,983 km (8,067 mi). Flight time = 16 hr 00 min. Operated by 777-300ER

Image

2. China Southern to Guangzhou (CZ 300/600). Distance = 12,878 km (8,002 mi). Flight time = 16 hr 05 min. Operated by 777-300ER

Image

3. South African to Johannesburg (SA 204). Distance = 12,825 km (7,969 mi). Flight time = 14 hr 30 min. Operated by A340-600 in summer, A340-300 in winter.

Image

6. China Eastern to Shanghai-Pudong (MU 298/588). Distance = 11,908 km (7,399 mi). Flight time = 15 hr 15 min. Operated by 777-300ER.

Image

7. Air India to Delhi (AI 102). Distance = 11,772 km (7,315 mi). Flight time = 14 hr 00 min. Operated by 777-300ER.

Image

8. Asiana or Korean Air to Seoul (OZ 221, KE 82/86). Distance = 11,077 km (6,883 mi). Flight time = 14 hr 30 min. OZ operates A380-800, KE operates A380-800 on flight 82, 747-8 on flight 86.

Image

9. Etihad to Abu Dhabi (EY 100/102). Distance = 11,038 km (6,859 mi). Flight time = 13 hr 00 min. EY operates A380-800 on flight 102. Now flight 100 is 777-300 ER, but starting June 1 that will be upgraded to A380-800 as well.

Image

10. Emirates to Dubai (EK 202/204/208). Distance = 11,023 km (6,850 mi). Flight time = 13 hr 00 min. All flights operated by A380-800.

Image

Discontinued Flights

Thai Airways to Bangkok (TG 791). Distance = 14,220 km (8,835 mi). Flight time = 17 hr 00 min. Operated by A340-500. Would rank as #1 longest flight from NYC if operating today.

Air India to Mumbai (AI 140). Distance = 12,590 km (7,823 mi). Flight time = 15 hr 30 min. Operated by 777-200LR. Would rank as #5 longest flight from NYC, between the Fuzhou and Taipei flights.

Image

Possible Future Flight

Singapore Airlines to Singapore. Distance = 15,348 km (9,537 mi). Flight time = 18 hr 00 min. Would be operated by A350-900ULR and be the longest commercial passenger flight ever to be operated. However, we are still unsure whether or not this flight will fly to New York or Newark.

Remarks

    -The longest flight from New York (to HKG) is also very busy. Cathay has a monopoly on the route maintaining 3 daily 777-300ER
    -6 of the top 10 longest flights are operated by 777-300ER. Only 2 are neither by 777-300ER or A380, SAA to Johannesburg and XiamenAir to Fuzhou
    -The longest route with competition is to Taipei, operated by both China Airlines and Eva Air
    -None of these routes are operated by US carriers. The longest flight by a US carrier from JFK is Delta to Tel Aviv

Suggest changing the title to "furthest" instead of "longest", since the flight times don't track the distance at all.

Singapore operated EWR-SIN non-stop for several years until IIRC 2015. It was and I think may still be the longest scheduled commercial flight in history.

AI 144 operates on EWR-BOM, UA 48 operates on EWR-BOM. These routes are not discontinued.

I think the OP meant JFK specifically.

JFK to TLV is also operated by El Al, using both 747-400 and 777-200ER.

He said operated by a US carrier. El Al is Israeli. If they were American, maybe they'd pander less to the Hareidis, and thus attract more secular Jews like myself

It would be nice if you specified JFK, Newark is a New York airport. Thanks.
