OAG has named the world's longest routes for 2022 with Singapore to New York at 9527 miles taking out number one!

This route is operated by Singapore Airlines on an A350-900 and the average flight duration of this super-long sector is 18 hours and 40 minutes.

A very close second is another Singapore route, operating to Newark (EWR-SIN) which is just 2 miles
shorter, at 9,525 miles.

OAG says that Singapore also features in two more of the Top 10 longest routes, to Los Angeles (LAX-SIN) and San Francisco (SFO-SIN).

The third longest routes in the Top 10 is London to Perth (LHR-PER), operated by Qantas, at 9,009 miles
with a flight duration of 16 hours and 45 minutes.

Another Antipodean originating route, Auckland to New York (AKL-JFK), is the fourth longest, covering 8,829 miles and taking a mere 16 hours and 15 minutes.

About AirlineRatings.com

Airlineratings.com was developed to provide everyone in the world a one-stop shop for everything related to airlines, formed by a team of aviation editors, who have forensically researched nearly every airline in the world.

Our rating system is rated from one to seven stars on safety – with seven being the highest ranking. Within each airline, you will find the country of origin, airline code, booking URL and seat map information. The rating system takes into account a number of different factors related to audits from aviation’s governing bodies, lead associations, as well as the airlines, own safety data. Every airline has a safety rating breakdown so you can see exactly how they rate.

Over 230 of the airlines on the site that carry 99 per cent of the world’s passengers have a product rating. Given that low-cost, regional and full-service carriers are so different we have constructed a different rating system for each which can be found within each airline
