Boeing 777-200LR now flies the longest flight in the world, an 8,819-mile trip between Dubai and Auckland, New Zealand.

Emirates began the service on Wednesday with an AirbusA380 in order to celebrate the milestone, but switched the next day to the Boeing aircraft.

The Boeing 777 now flies seven of the 10 longest flights in the world, according to a list compiled by flight data provider OAG Aviation. The rest are flown by the Airbus A380.
