HONG KONG: Cathay Pacific is planning the world's longest passenger flight by rerouting its New York to Hong Kong service over the Atlantic, instead of the Pacific, the airline said on Tuesday, in a new path that steers clear of Russia.

The flight path will cover 'just under 9,000 nautical miles (mi)' (10,357 mi) — or 16,668 kilometers (km) — in 16 to 17 hours, Cathay said in a statement to Agence France-Presse (AFP).
