Record 17 hour flight from Singapore to New York - future of the airline industry?

The longest non-stop commercial flight landed at New York Airport. He flew in from Singapore, having covered 15 thousand kilometers in 17 hours and 52 minutes.

This flight is renewed by Singapore Airlines; five years ago it was canceled due to the high cost of living. This time there were 150 passengers and 17 crew members aboard.

“The flight was easy and smooth. On board, everyone agreed that time flew by unnoticed - as if it was not 17.5 hours,” said BBC Jeffrey Thomas, editor-in-chief of the website airlineratings.com.

There are other direct flights of similar duration. For example, a flight from Australian Perth to London, or a Qatar flight from Auckland (New Zealand) to Doha
