World's longest flight to be launched without economy class
Singapore Airlines has confirmed it would launch the world's longest non-stop commercial flight in October, covering about 16,700 km between Singapore and Newark in 18 hours 45 minutes. The Airbus A350-900ULR aircraft would feature 67 Business Class and 94 Premium Economy Class seats. The airline flew a similar route from 2004 to 2013, but had stopped operations over low revenues.
