During the pandemic, airlines worldwide were forced to pause dozens of long-haul routes due to border restrictions and low international demand. This meant ultra-long-haul routes, like Qantas’ Perth to London service and Delta Air Lines’ Atlanta to Johannesburg flight, were suspended.

Historically, Singapore Airlines held the title for the world’s longest flight, which traveled a whopping 9,534 miles nonstop between Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey and Singapore.
