Reading time: 6 min

An Average flight usually covers 1,437 Km and takes about 2h and 29min; however, advances in aviation technology have made unbelievably non-stop long flight possible.

Using OAG’s airline schedules data, our table of the longest routes ranks commercial flights by Great Circle Distance (GCD) in kilometers. GCD is a way of measuring a flight’s length, taking into account the fact that the Earth is spherical, and therefore the shortest route for a flight to take is not a straight line drawn from point to point on a 2D map.
