The world’s longest flights in 2022

Aviation is constantly evolving. This evolution is due to both technological and human factors. Nowadays, aircraft offer features that were unimaginable a few years ago and, in human terms, we also have more highly trained technicians and pilots. All these advances allow a constant improvement that allows longer flights. In today’s post, we are going to discover the world’s longest flights in the world.
