Most of us know about–and usually complain about–long airline flights. But now it’s time to celebrate the world’s shortest scheduled commercial airline flights.
So which is the shortest flight? Well, let’s check in for St. Martin to Anguilla. The flight is 12 miles in length and takes only 10 minutes.
How about the Loganair flight between the Orkeny Islands in Scotland? The distance is just two miles, and it lasts about a minute.
But wait, there’s an even shorter flight. It’s in Indonesia, and the distance is just 1.3 miles, flown on a single-engine propeller plane.
