I'm not sure if it's the shortest, but Delta runs ATL-JAX with 767's, and thats 270 miles. I've been on the flight several times. I think the shortest was 47 minutes of flight time.

UA has daily OGG-KOA service on a 772. Sure, it's a part of the ORD-OGG-KOA-ORD flight but it's still a short hop.

How about JL's 744 flying from NRT-NGO? I think the flight was 53 or something? The domestic run on the NRT-JFK-GRU flight? Not the shortest, but that's pretty big

UA did ORD-IAD with the 777, but that is intra-hub for them.

Well, i beleive the B757 is classed as heavy.
Therefore, Air-Scotland fly GLA-EDI which is only 40-50miles.

and 417 (or return 142) can also be a 343 or even 345.
AC has basically flown every type they have ever owned on YYZ-YUL, including 741, 742, 744, L10, 333, 343, 762, 763 widebodies.

35 Flyguy595: I know UAL fly's from EZE to MVD is only 137 miles and they have 777 and 767 Ive done this and its a quite nice flight when you only go up to 15,000ft
36 MerlinIIIB: I enjoyed a ride from Hong Kong to Taipei on a China Airlines 744 once. The most unusual 744 flight was with BA from Nairobi to Mahe, Seychelles - bec
37 SR800: LX currently operates a weekly A330 on ZRH-GVA, to rotate aircraft for maintenance (they have an A330 operating a closed loop GVA-JFK). Not the shorte
38 Wrighbrothers: No one's mentioned QF (at time of writing ) I believe they do SYD-MEL (continues on to AKL and LAX) SYD-BNE (I think) with 744's Wrighbrothers P.S- I

46 N864DA: That definitely ranks up there for the biggest aircraft on the shortest route. I flew on that flight two days ago with the A333, total flight time wa

49 747LUVR: DL....772 ATL-MCO-ATL....usually once a day IIRC.
