There's different between no stop flight and flight distance wether nonstop or not.

Auckland to Doha is the longest non-stop slight. Meanwhile, Dallas to Australia is the longest route for any flight. And the OP mentioned " by distance".

Buhari promised to return the presidential jets to Nigeria Airways and fly with it commercially.
We are still waiting for the fulfilment of that promise. Instead he has parked a jet in London for almost three months and paying charges.

PDPGuy:
OP: Your post is so enlightening.

I'll also add that:

- The Murtala Mohammed International Airport is presently the only one in Nigeria to have more than one runway

- No airport in Nigeria can accommodate the A380

- In 2011, Nigeria achieved total radar coverage of her airspace for the first time ever. The Total Radar Coverage of Nigeria (TRACON) project was originally begun by the Obasanjo administration in 2003.

- London Gatwick airport is the busiest single-runway commercial airport in the world. The second busiest is the San Diego International airport.

- With a flight time of over 7 hours, the flight time between New York's JFK airport and Honolulu airport (in Hawaii, USA) is amongst the longest domestic flights in the world.
