American Airlines Dallas to Brisbane will be the longest and most followed flight

BRISBANE First flight of American Airlines (AA). AA7 Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) to Brisbane (BNE), Australia will be the most tracked flight in the world on October 27, 2024, as reported by tracking website FlightRadar24.

The route marks two significant milestones: becoming American Airlines’ longest network flight by distance and representing the longest direct route to Brisbane Airport.

American Airlines Dallas to Brisbane

The Fort Worth-based airline will use Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners to operate this special inaugural flight. Additionally, this new service will strengthen the growing air transport relationship between Australia and the United States.

Brisbane Airport aims to capitalize on global interest by providing a live stream of the aircraft landing, giving aviation enthusiasts worldwide real-time access to this historic moment.

“This flight will be one of Flightradar24’s most followed services, attracting viewers eager to follow the journey from Dallas-Fort Worth to Brisbane,” explains Ian Petchenik, Director of Communications at Flightradar24.

Additionally, Petchenik attributes Brisbane’s increasing importance among aviation enthusiasts to the airport’s significant international route expansion over the year. The new service highlights Brisbane’s growing role as a major air transport hub in the Asia Pacific region.

Brisbane Airport’s diverse flight operations attract global viewers through weekly livestreams, with aviation YouTubers Julia Flights and Only Planes Network hosting the regular broadcasts.

“Our airfield features everything from A380s to Royal Flying Doctor King Airs, alongside Alliance Airlines’ world-leading Fokker fleet,” says Brisbane Airport media and communications manager Peter Doherty. The airport’s position as Australia’s main domestic hub ensures a continuous flow of specialist regional aircraft.

For American Airlines’ inaugural flight, the airport is planning strategic camera placement along runways and taxiways, promising viewers comprehensive coverage of the historic arrival.

“As airport livestreaming has grown in popularity around the world, our coverage of American Airlines Arrivals will introduce unprecedented technical elements,” reveals Doherty, pointing to innovative broadcast features designed to differentiate the Brisbane stream from standard airport coverage.

Special event to welcome AA7

Brisbane Airport selected 20 winners from over 400 competitors to witness American Airlines’ first arrival from Dallas-Fort Worth from an exclusive vantage point at the airfield.

Arriving passengers will receive special welcome treats from local viral sensation Brooki Bakehouse, bringing a distinctive Brisbane culinary touch to the historic wharf.

The airport’s YouTube channel will broadcast the event, featuring veteran broadcaster Peter Doherty and Sammy Cheney, series producer of “The Great Outdoors,” who recently documented Texas for the travel show.

The 45 minute broadcast begins at:

• Monday 4:45am Brisbane time
• 5:45am Sydney time on Monday
• Sunday, 1:45 p.m. Dallas time

Longest flight in the world

Singapore Airlines (SQ) currently holds the record for the longest flight in the world. The world’s best airline operates this longest non-stop flight between Singapore (SIN) and New York (JFK).

The SIN-JFK route is 9,537 miles long and takes approximately 18 hours and 40 minutes. Singapore Airlines uses its Airbus A350-900 ultra-long-haul aircraft to serve this sector.

So now you know that the world’s longest flight is 9,537 miles long. Now the distance between DFW and BNE is 8,303 miles (13,363 kilometers). This route will take you around 15 hours.

If we look at the list of the 15 longest flight routes in the world, American Airlines may not be included in the list, but it is certainly included in the top 20.

Australian cities such as Perth (PER) and Sydney (SYD) already operate some of the longest routes in the world. With American’s DFW-BNE route, Brisbane lands on the list of longest non-stop connections.
