The Corona virus pandemic has caused many aircraft flights to be canceled and countries to close their airfields so far. A new incident that happened the other day was perhaps one of the most unexpected consequences of the Corona virus, as the world’s longest commercial flight record has changed hands. This flight, which was carried out by Air Tahiti Nui, an airline company of French Polynesia, was carried out on 14 March from Tahiti to Paris, the capital of France, without landing for a total of 15,715 kilometers. With this 15,715-kilometer-long flight from the overseas territory of the Pacific in France, a record of 15,343 kilometers has been passed between Singapore and Newark. The USA imposed a travel ban on France due to the Corona virus: This record-breaking flight was a direct consequence of the travel bans the United States imposed to combat the spread of the Corona virus. The flight, which was carried out with the flight number “TN064”, under normal conditions, starting from Papeete, the capital of Tahiti, was taking a break in Los Angeles and taking off again to Paris. Boeing 787-9 aircraft, which could not land in Los Angeles as a result of the US bans, continued directly to Paris without refueling, considering the low load factor. According to the company, this journey, which took 16 hours and 30 minutes in total, was reserved for one time only. Speaking to CNN Travel about this, Air Tahiti Nui spokesperson said, “This flight was on an exceptional basis and within the restrictions imposed by the American authorities in the face of the Covid-19 outbreak.” The previous flight record by Singapore Airlines belonged to the 15,343-kilometer journey between Singapore and Newark, and it took 18 hours and 30 minutes in total. Auckland-Doha flight, another longest flight, took 17 hours and 50 minutes in total and traveled 14.535 kilometers without touching the ground.
