United Airlines announced it will introduce daily, non-stop flights between its Los Angeles (LAX) hub and Singapore’s Changi Airport (SIN), effective Oct. 27.

The flight between LAX and SIN will set the new distance record for any airline operating a flight to or from the United States, at 8,700 miles.

United’s existing service between San Francisco (SFO) and SIN started one year ago and holds the current record for the longest-scheduled Boeing 787 flight operated by any airline and is currently the longest flight operated by any U.S. carrier, at 8,446 miles. The airline will operate both routes with Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft.

“Whether our customers are on leisure or business travel, United is making travel to Singapore easier and even more convenient than ever before and customers arriving to Los Angeles will have multiple opportunities to connect to hundreds of United destinations in the U.S., Canada and Latin America,” said Dave Hilfman, senior vice president of worldwide sales, United Airlines.

Flight UA 37 will depart Los Angeles at 8:55 p.m. daily, arriving in Singapore at 6:50 a.m. two days later. The return flight will depart Singapore at 11:00 a.m. daily, arriving in Los Angeles at 10:15 a.m. the same day. Flight times will be approximately 17 hours, 55 minutes westbound and 15 hours, 15 minutes eastbound.
