Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, Air India is ready to grab the title of the longest flight in the world by getting all set to operate a non-stop Bangalore-San Fransisco (BLR-SFO) flight!! At 8,701 mile, this would exceed the current longest flight: Sydney – Dallas (SYD-DFW), operated by Qantas, by 123 miles. That flight is 8,578 miles. The current longest proposed flight is Dubai – Panama City (DXB-PTY) by Emirates, at 8588 miles (Yay! 10 miles more than SYD-DFW).
On a personal note, my longest flight flown is Hong-Kong – Newark (HKG-EWR), which I flew TWICE this year. At 8,065 miles it is the 11th longest flight in the world, and the longest flight operated by United Airlines.
What is your longest flight? Leave a comment below and share…
All that time in an aluminum or composite tube? Emirates or Qantas perhaps, but Air India – no thanks!
