Last month we beat the record for our longest ever charter, before eclipsing it one week later! The first flight crossed the International Date Line three times – due to the ‘kink’ in the boundary near Kiribati.
Matthew Purton, Group Aviation Services Director, commented: “We arranged two charters for the same client, in the space of a week, that both broke our longest ever flight record. The first was from Dallas Fort Worth to Sydney on an Airbus A380, covering 8,578 miles. The following week we bettered that new record when an ACS-chartered B-787-9 Dreamliner flew them directly from Perth to Los Angeles, on a flight that lasted almost 17 hours, and covered 9,318 miles."
