Airlines

In 2025, ultra-long-haul travel is no longer a niche—it’s a key part of global aviation, connecting distant business hubs and vacation hotspots with unprecedented efficiency. Thanks to next-generation aircraft like the Airbus A350-900ULR and Boeing 787-9, airlines can now operate flights lasting 17–19 hours across distances nearing 15,500 kilometers, all without a single stop.

The aviation industry has experienced remarkable growth in 2024 and 2025, recovering from the pandemic's impact and expanding in terms of passenger numbers, fleet size, and destinations served. During this period, the world's largest airlines have strengthened their leadership by increasing operational capacity and enhancing service quality.
