Did you know that there are possible longest flights in the world that do not yet exist in service by any airline? A report of AOG reveals those interesting destinations.
Now that the airlines' "war" to have the respective longest flights in the world it's fashionable, It is a good time to review those routes that, due to their high demand, but due to distance they are not yet operated, but they will undoubtedly be interesting in the future.
Aircraft and airline manufacturers are working hard to continue expanding the operating limits of aircraft to be able to fly further in the shortest time and with lower costs that a stopover operation entails..
This is how there are still several routes that could be exploited for their commercial attractiveness., but they have their challenges in terms of profitability and environmental.
Currently, has the longest route in the world Singapure Airlines between Singapore Changi – Newark Liberty Airports with a distance of 15.329 kilometers away operated with airplanes Airbus A350-900 and Qantas wants to beat this record with flights between New York and London to Sydney.
Flights that do not yet exist
The 10 longest flights in the world that do not yet have service, by number of annual reservations are:
Two of these routes, Paris to Bali (CDG-DPS) and London to Brisbane (LHR-BNE) They are at a distance beyond the reach of any current commercial aircraft with a large circle distance of 14.723 kilometers and 14.374 kilometers between origin and destination, respectively.
The flight time for this type of distance would be more than 20 hours.
The remaining eight routes without service are within range of today's aircraft, with Los Angeles – Saigon, the most demanded. In the twelve months between August 2018 and july of 2019, more of 270,000 Passengers traveled on indirect routes between these two points.
Others 171,000 Passengers traveled between San Francisco and Saigon, reflecting the strong growth that Vietnam is currently experiencing as a tourist destination.
Bangkok in Thailand is also popular, more than 250,000 passengers traveling from Los Angeles LAX airport indirectly to Bangkok and 140,000 from New York JFK airport.
We bet that in the near future several of these routes will make their world premiere, but those that last about 20 flight hours, They still have a long way to go, that will go hand in hand with the development of new technology or improvement of the current one within aircraft manufacturers.

Looking at the image of the A330 neo which is direct competition from Boeing 787, What is the latest news on the test flights of the Boeing 777X that Boeing is developing to compete with the 350 ??
They are delayed due to everything that is happening with the MAX and also due to the plane's own problems..
Impressive, I made the LAX-Brisbane flight 15 hrs and return the same, a flight to the east you arrive the next day by gmt and return despite the 15 hrs llegas 15 hr of the same day…saving time.
Tremendous flight!
