A non-stop flight is a flight by an aircraft with no intermediate stops.

History

[edit]

During the early age of aviation industry when aircraft range was limited, most flights were served in the form of a milk run, aka there were many stops along the route.[1] But as aviation technology develop and aircraft capability improved, non-stop flights began to take over and have now become a dominant form of flight in the modern times.

The dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 eventually opened up Russian airspace, allowing commercial airlines to exploit new circumpolar routes and enabling many new non-stop services, removing the need of making stopover in-between.[2]

In the late 2000s to early 2010s, rising fuel prices coupled with economic crisis resulted in cancellation of many ultra-long haul non-stop flights.[3] As fuel prices fell and aircraft became more economical the economic viability of ultra long haul flights improved.[3]

Direct flights and non-stop flights are often confused with each other. Starting March 31, 2019, American Airlines started offering non-stop flights from Phoenix, Arizona to London, England,[4] meaning that the plane leaves Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and lands at Heathrow Airport. Conversely, a direct flight simply means that passengers typically would not get off the plane if it stops (lands) at a location between the two cities.

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
