Over time, commercial airlines have established a number of scheduled ultra long-haul non-stop flights. These exceptionally long routes reduce the travel time between distant city pairs as well as the number of stops needed for passengers' travels, thereby increasing passenger convenience.[1] For an airline, choosing to operate long flights can also build brand image as well as loyalty among a set of flyers.[2] Therefore, competition among airlines to establish the longest flight occurs.[3]
