In March 2020, Polynesian carrierAir Tahiti Nui operated a ticketed, nonstop repatriation service from Faa’a International Airport (PPT) in Papeete, Tahiti, to Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG). This flight covered roughly 9,765 miles (15,715 km) in around 15 hours and 45 minutes. Because French Polynesia and metropolitan France are parts of the French Republic, this became the world’s longest domestic passenger flight, and it is one of a few in history to ever receive the unique distinction of being an ultra-long-haul domestic service.
