World longest flight from Singapore to New York to resume from November 09.

The world’s longest flight from Singapore to New York will resume service from November 9, with passengers now disembarking at John F Kennedy International Airport instead of Newark airport.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) said flight distance for the 18-hour route has increased by 2 miles from 9,534 miles to 9,536 miles due to the shift in the airport, Mint reported.

The Airbus A350-900 long-range aircraft – with 42 business seats, 24 premium economy seats and 187 economy seats – will be operated on the Singapore Changi Airport–JFK International Airport route non-stop, “to better accommodate a mix of passenger and cargo traffic… and transfer passengers for transit”.

From November 9, Flight SQ24 will resume operations thrice a week from Singapore Changi to JFK International and from November 11, Flight SQ23 will resume operations thrice a week from JFK International to Singapore Changi.
