^None of these proposed routes seem to be going anywhere; time to clean house. Should anyone here on A-net produce a quote from the airlines themselves of an updated start date, or if they make a “re-announcement” in the future with start dates, we will re-instate them.
Thanks for reading!

Quoting yeogeo (Reply 5): Interesting! Have you just flown it or did you get that info from the SQ website?
Was booked on it in July. Singapore Airlines sent me an email about the change, then I checked their schedule. And it is 77W 3x a week until July, where it becomes daily, and it continues being daily well into off-season.

I suspect the OAG will catch up to this fact in the July schedules.
The OAG listing of aircraft is a bit more general than the real life a/c usage. The guide is, after all, dependent on the airline's reporting what aircraft they plan to use, but the info is reported to the OAG many weeks before the actual dates they're flying the type. Sometimes the airline reports just a generic type ("777" as opposed to "77W", for example) if the airline is planning on using more than one type in the month.

You're going to have to explain to me what part of the information is inaccurate and how you have proved it by providing two flightaware.com links.
It's amusing to me that you've chosen NYC-TLV out of all 345 routes on the list to question:
No one on the 4700+ nm list is more difficult to decipher than LY and its constantly changing schedule out of New York City airports. I wish I could rip out the page from the OAG and let you try and figure it out

Thank you for the amazing job on this update!
As mentioned by Yeogeo in the Etihad Announces Sao Paulo (by behramjee Jun 3 2012 in Civil Aviation) thread, that route will appear on the list as:
(6545nm AUH-GRU Ethiad 346x7 scheduled June 2013)
Quoting yeogeo (Reply 6): 5350nm LAX-GRU Korean 772x3
Out of 345 active routes on the list, this is the only flight within "The Americas".
So, how does Brazil's 166 weekly departures over 4700nm compare with other countries? It is ranked 10th and has more weekly departures over 4700nm than the rest of South America combined (163). Here is a ranking of the 62 countries/territories in terms of weekly departures over 4700nm:
USA 1266
Japan 441
UK 388
France 332
China (excluding Hong Kong) 326
Germany 311
Hong Kong 303
South Korea 179
UAE 167
Brazil 166
Netherlands 164
Canada 156
Singapore 154
Australia 147
Spain 133
Italy 125
South Africa 112
Thailand 111
Taiwan 93
New Zealand 80
Mexico 74
Argentina 69
Switzerland 68
Israel 43
India 42
Malaysia 40
Qatar 38
Peru 34
Turkey 32
Reunion 32
Russia 31
Chile 30
Phillipines 23
Mauritius 20
Vietnam 20
Ecuador 18
Jordan 16
Nigeria 12
Saudi Arabia 12
Madagascar 11
Austria 10
Kuwait 10
Denmark 10
Egypt 9
Panama 7
Sri Lanka 7
Finland 7
Cuba 7
Colombia 5
Dominican Republic 5
Portugal 4
Fiji 4
Uruguay 4
Pakistan 3
Bolivia 3
Ghana 3
Belgium 3
Tahiti 2
Algeria 2
Greece 2
Angola 2
Indonesia 1
So, China (including Hong Kong) would be ranked #2 at 629 and would be roughly half of the USA at 1266. China (including Hong Kong) has roughly the same number of weekly departures over 4700nm as the state of California (608 - as computed in the last update).
Which countries/territories are notably missing from the list? Ethiopia, Guatemala, and Guam were not included since they only have arrivals over 4700nm. I would have expected countries such as Sweden, Norway, and Costa Rica to appear on the list. Aside from Russia, there are no "Eastern Bloc" or CIS countries on the list. Kenya will appear in the next edition once the 5431nm ICN-NBO on Korean starts on 21June. Syria and Venezuela appeared on previous updates when CCS-DAM was operated. Given its massive population, it is surprising that Indonesia only has one weekly departure over 4700nm (DME-DPS on Transaero) but perhaps CGK-Europe nonstops will come in the future?
Here is a ranking by continent of the 5929 weekly departures over 4700nm:
Asia (including Middle East) 2029
Europe (including IST) 1620
North America 1515
South America 329
Australia/Oceania 233
Africa (including RUN and MRU) 203
And, a random bit of trivia: Each week, every 100 seconds a 4700nm+ flight departs!

It is amazing that Jakarta is not on the list... I'd imagine its only a matter of time.
Which carrier will fly over 4700nm is the question. Garuda? Or will Lion Air beat them to it? (Lion Air currently offers the longest flight out of CGK: 744x2 service to MED, 4321nm).

Quoting yeogeo (Reply 14): It occurs to me that a European carrier could likely be the first to fly to Jakarta nonstop. Any of these would qualify:
Based on current schedules, there are 28 weekly 1-stop flights between Indonesia and Europe. Of these, 25 are on European carriers (the distances shown are without the current stops):
And, going on the theory that 1-stop routes could become nonstop routes in the future, here are 2 existing 1-stop routes to countries not currently on the list (Brunei and Costa Rica):

6096nm BWN-DXB-LHR Royal Brunei 772x7
BWN-DXB-LHR
What a beautiful route! ...it strikes me as being beautiful anyway: nice symmetry in almost equal segments ...and what a fine livery, I must say!
I wonder, however, if it will ever translate into a nonstop BWN-LHR. From here it seems both stations on the route would be in good demand from Brunei and the cost of flying 6000nm+ to England nonstop would seem pretty steep for a small country to pay? 'Course we're dealing with a wealthy small country so the expense may not be an impediment.

If KLM has relatively few passengers flying only the DPS-SIN and CGK-KUL segments, then possibly an AMS-CGK-DPS routing could work in the future?
Quoting yeogeo (Reply 16): Toronto’s considerable contribution to World’s Longest:
YYZ
YYZ is one of 50 airports (out of 120 airports on the list) that have both eastbound and westbound departures over 4700nm. Here is a list of those 50 airports followed by the longest eastbound departure and longest westbound departure for that airport. For SIN-EWR, I used the GCM direction which may not be the actual direction flown.
Quoting yeogeo (Reply 19): German Airports in World’s Longest

Thanks for covering for me, Nick! Of course Aéromexico's flights should be on the N. American list. That's why we make a good team. I make the mistakes and you correct them
...I wonder who will be the next 4700+nm flyer from North America?
Copa? Air Transat? Hawaiian? Southwest?? Cape Air ??
