Scheduled passenger flights on Boeing 757 aircraft are becoming less common, with most remaining services now operating within the United States. Delta Air Lines currently operates 102 Boeing 757-200s and 757-300s, while United Airlines has a fleet of 61. Despite Delta being the largest operator of passenger 757s globally, none of its routes appear among the longest scheduled flights for this aircraft type.
According to Cirium Diio data, fewer than 3% of Delta’s international services to Europe and South America use the Boeing 757, compared to United’s 14%. The majority of long-haul Boeing 757 flights in September are operated by United Airlines from Newark and Chicago O’Hare airports.
The longest scheduled Boeing 757 flight in September is United’s Stockholm Arlanda to Newark service, with a maximum block time of eight hours and forty minutes. Other lengthy routes include Malaga to Newark (8h35m), Brussels to Newark (8h30m), Bilbao to Newark (8h25m), Faro to Newark (8h25m), Edinburgh to Chicago O’Hare (8h25m), Shannon to Chicago O’Hare (8h15m), Edinburgh to Washington Dulles (8h10m), Dublin to Washington Dulles (8h05m), Keflavik to Denver (8h05m), Keflavik to Portland (8h05m), and Porto back to Newark (8h05m). These times reflect the maximum published block time for each route direction during September.
