Turkish Airlines Sets Record for Longest Nonstop Flight With Juventus Charter

Turkish Airlines has completed its longest nonstop flight in history, transporting Italian football club Juventus from Perth to Turin. The charter operation covered a distance of approximately 13,800 kilometers (8,575 miles) in 16 hours and 27 minutes.

The Boeing 777-300ER took off from Vancouver International Airport on September 3, 2022, after operating a positioning flight from Istanbul to Perth under the flight number TK3700. The special charter was arranged after Juventus concluded its pre-season tour of Australia.

Turkish Airlines plans to expand its nonstop long-haul network by deploying ultra-long-range aircraft from late 2027, enabling direct flights to destinations in Australia and South America.
