14,388 Miles: Airbus A350-1000ULR Test Flight Officially Breaks The Guinness World Record

The Airbus A350-1000ULR has officially set a Guinness World Record for the longest nonstop flight by a commercial airliner, according to Simple Flying. The record flight covered 14,388 miles (23,155 kilometers) and took 24 hours and 24 minutes.

The achievement ends Boeing’s more than two-decade hold on the record previously held by the 777-200LR Worldliner. No additional details about the flight path or the specific routing are provided in the material.

The report attributes the record to Airbus and notes the flight duration and distance as the key metrics. No information is given about the crew, exact departure and arrival points, or the scientific or technical specifics of the aircraft configuration beyond the model.

The source material does not include dates beyond the publication timestamp, nor does it provide outcomes beyond the record itself. It also does not specify any weather, operational constraints, or subsequent records.

The author information provided in the material describes a journalist with a long-standing interest in aviation, serving as context for the article but does not relate to the flight details or record achievement itself.
