With a maximum range of 8,500 nautical miles, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner is equipped to handle some of the world's longest air routes. More than 1,100 of these aircraft have been delivered globally, often operating ultra-long-haul flights exceeding 16 hours.
The Dreamliner is designed for passenger comfort with features such as a wide cabin, high ceilings, and large windows. According to Cirium's data, Air New Zealand, Qantas, and United Airlines operate the longest Dreamliner routes. Most are managed by Qantas, connecting Australia and New Zealand to Europe and North America.
Qantas operates five of the six longest Dreamliner routes this February. These include flights from Perth to London and Paris, Melbourne to Dallas/Fort Worth, Sydney to Dallas/Fort Worth, and Auckland to New York in partnership with Air New Zealand. United Airlines' route between Houston and Sydney also makes the list.
