In the first half of 2025, Boeing 787 Dreamliners will operate a significant portion of the world's long-haul flights. According to data from Cirium Diio and OAG, these aircraft—specifically the -8, -9, and -10 variants—will account for a quarter of such services globally. The Boeing 787-9 is notably the second most-used aircraft for long-haul flights, trailing only behind the 777-300ER.
The longest one-stop Boeing 787 flight by distance is Air China's route from Beijing Capital to São Paulo via Madrid. This service caters to the large Chinese community in Brazil's largest city. However, when considering all types of aircraft, this route ranks as the third-longest one-stop operation worldwide.
Singapore Airlines currently holds the title for the longest one-stop flight with its route from Singapore to Houston Intercontinental via Manchester on a 777-300ER. However, this service will end in March. Following its conclusion, Aircalin's new Nouméa to Paris CDG route via Bangkok Suvarnabhumi using an A330neo will take over as the longest.
