United States airline, United Airways now boasts the longest flight route operated by any US carrier.

The new over 16-hour route runs from San Fransisco to Singapore and also happens to be the longest in the world to be flown on a Boeing 787 “Dreamliner.”

According to airline data provider OAG, the 8,446-mile flight is the first-ever regularly scheduled service to connect those cities nonstop, and is the third-longest flight by distance of any carrier in the world.

United Flight 1, the westbound flight from San Francisco to Singapore has a scheduled flying time of 16 hours, 20 minutes, while the return – United Flight 2 is scheduled for 15 hours, 30 minutes.

Speaking during a gateside ceremony for the inaugural SF-Singapore flight, Jim Compton United’s chief revenue officer said:

“This is a special time for all of us at United. By using this flight, our customers are going to save up to four hours compared to connecting options on other airlines.”

He added that the new San Francisco route adds a one-stop option to Singapore from 26 US cities that previously required two or more stops to get to that city.

United also has recently launched new routes to destinations in mainland China as well as Tel Aviv, Israel, while it will begin nonstop service to Auckland, New Zealand later in the summer.
