Long nonstop flights from US airports often reach impressive distances without involving US-based carriers. The majority of these flights are operated by foreign airlines. As of April, the United States will host 26 outbound routes that span at least 8,000 miles, with only three operated by US carriers.
Nine flights from the US will cover distances over 8,500 miles. Carriers such as Singapore Airlines, Qantas, Air New Zealand, Air India, and Philippine Airlines lead these routes. The longest are Singapore Airlines' flights from Singapore to New York JFK Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport, at over 9,480 miles each. Thirty of these flights are scheduled for April, each with a seating capacity of 4,830. These routes represent the longest planned nonstop commercial flights worldwide, with Qatar Airways' Auckland flight as the next longest over 9,000 miles.
On the list of the longest United States outbound flights, Qantas’ flight from Dallas/Fort Worth to Melbourne covers 8,973 miles, and New York-JFK to Auckland follows closely behind at 8,813 miles, serviced both by Air New Zealand and Qantas.
