When non-stop block time is considered, the world's 10 longest narrowbody routes in peak summer range between 8 hours 30 minutes and 9 hours 20 minutes. La Compagnie's flights from Milan and Nice to Newark share the top position, influenced by having just 72 lie-flat beds. United Airlines has three routes blocked at a maximum of 8 hours 40 minutes.
The third quarter, spanning July to September, marks a critical period for airlines in the Northern Hemisphere as they aim to maximize revenue during peak summer travel. This financial boost is essential to help them navigate the challenging winter months.
An analysis of Cirium data for these three months indicates that narrowbody aircraft will operate approximately one in every fifteen long-haul flights, defined here as covering 2,600 nautical miles (4,815 km) or more. The focus of this analysis is on non-stop services; therefore, routes with stops are excluded. This includes Neos' newly introduced Boeing 737 MAX 8 service between Milan Bergamo and Amristar via Aktau.
