SHANGHAI, Dec. 5 (Xinhua) — After a 26-hour journey covering more than 20,000 kilometers with a stopover in Auckland, New Zealand, flight MU745 arrived in Buenos Aires on Thursday afternoon local time, marking the opening of the world's longest commercial air route between Shanghai, China, and Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The new route also marks the first direct commercial air service between two points on opposite sides of the globe. Compared to previous routes via Europe or North America, the new southern route reduces travel time by approximately five hours.
