World's longest flight from S'pore to NY makes 18-hour trip
The world's longest non-stop commercial flight landed in New York on Friday after making a nearly 18-hour-long trip. Singapore Airlines relaunched the service five years after it was cut because it had become too expensive. The Airbus A350-900ULR plane carrying 150 passengers and 17 crew members, covered a distance of more than 16,000 kilometres.
