Emirates opens the longest flight in the world

Emirates Dubai - Panama City non-stop flight lasting 17 hours 35 minutes will be the longest in the history of civil aviation. Flights in this direction will begin on February 1, 2016.

Panama will be the first Central American destination on the airline’s schedule. The daily flight will be served by a Boeing 777-200LR type aircraft with a capacity of 8 passengers in the first class, 42 in the business class and 216 in the economy class. With full passenger loading, the aircraft will also be able to carry up to 15 tons of cargo. The flight will serve passengers traveling to Central America, northern South America and the islands of the Caribbean.

By the end of this year, Emirates will open four new routes, including Iranian Mashhad and Orlando (Florida) in September, Bamako (Mali) in October and Bologna (Italy) in November.
