Singapore Airlines lanzará el vuelo más largo del mundo

October 11, 2018 - Singapore Airlines reclamará el título del vuelo comercial más largo del
mundo al reanudar su servicio sin escalas entre Singapur y Nueva York usando jets Airbus A350. La aerolínea voló esa ruta por última vez en 2013

Flights will cover a distance of approximately 16,700km using the new, fuel-efficient A350-900ULR (ultra-long-range) plane. The proposed route will eclipse the 14,525km Qatar Airways flight from Doha to Auckland as the world’s longest, according to airline data provider OAG

Launching on 11 October, the route will be served three times a week before daily operations commence from 18 October.

Singapore Airlines served the Singapore-Newark route until 2013 when high fuel prices made the use of four-engined Airbus A340-500 jets uneconomic. It has since flown to New York’s JFK Airport via Frankfurt.
