Longest & Shortest Scheduled Flights!

The world's longest scheduled flight from Newark to Singapore is 18 hrs 40 min long. The shortest?? About 2 min! The latter is a flight operated by Loganair for British Airways, is between the Scottish islands of Westray and Papa Westray. The Pilatus Islander prop plane takes off from Westray at 8.49 A. M. and arrives at Papa Westray at 8.51 A. M. The 14.5 km route has been once done in 58 seconds due to a strong tail wind. And since coffee takes three minutes to brew, no beverages are served on board!
