I measured it a while ago (well, 11 years now) and both France and the UK made the cut[0].

France has much more margin though, IIRC no single territory becoming independent would make the sun set on France.

France also has the longest internal scheduled flight - 9,349km

Had*, seems it was added to work around American Covid restrictions, and it was only active for ~1 month.

You're thinking of the (temporary) Tahiti flight, but that was much longer than 9349 km.

The person you're responding to was talking about the Paris-Réunion flight that has been active for a long time and still active today. I took it 15 years ago when I had to go to Réunion.

Oh, seems indeed I confused the two, thanks for the correction!

I'm glad someone did this, because for a moment I was thinking that I was going to have to do the math on France.
