A Boeing 777 plane has broken the world record for the longest flight for a commercial jet.
The aircraft carrying 35 passengers has landed at London’s Heathrow Airport after a 20,000-kilometre flight east from Hong Kong.
It flew over the northern Pacific, then over the northern part of the United States, before crossing the Atlantic.
The flight lasted 22 hours and 45 minutes and ended 15 minutes ahead of schedule.
It beat the existing non-stop passenger airline record – also achieved by a Boeing 777 – by several thousand kilometres.
When fully operational, the Worldliner will be able to carry 301 passengers on a non-stop service between Australia and New York.
