Singapore Airlines flies the longest regularly scheduled commercial route in the world: Singapore Changi Airport to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. By great-circle distance the sector covers 8,288 nautical miles, or 15,349 kilometres, and flight times routinely run past 18 hours.
