Globally, the average length of a\u00a0Boeing 777\u00a0non-stop flight in April is 3,378 miles (5,436 km), according to the latest OAG data. Not surprisingly, that is greater than the 3,000 miles (4,828 km) considered\u00a0long-haul. What about the world’s shortest Triple 7 flights in\u00a0April<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

The world’s shortest 777 flights<\/h2>\n

The five shortest scheduled passenger\u00a0flights\u00a0in\u00a0April\u00a0<\/strong>are shown in the following table. To qualify, each route must be\u00a0bookable\u00a0<\/strong>and counts even if it has just one 777 flight. The need to be bookable is why\u00a0Air France’s\u00a0very short Freetown-Conakry leg, part of a triangular routing with Paris CDG, doesn’t feature. If it were bookable, it’d be the world’s joint-second shortest, at 72 miles (116 km).<\/p>\n

Flights as part of a wider routing are crucial. Indeed, three are fifth-freedoms, while another stops en route within its own country. The sole exception is\u00a0Qatar Airways\u00a0from Doha to Dammam, which simply operates there and back.<\/p>\n
