A French airline unintentionally set the record for history’s longest commercial flight by staying airborne for 9,765 miles, according to CNN.The Air Tahiti Nui passenger jet flew direct from Tahiti to Paris, skipping a stopover at Los Angeles International Airport that’s usually part of the route, due to travel restrictions imposed because of coronavirus concerns in the U.S.Passengers finally reached France’s Charles de Gaulle Airport at 6:30 a.m. on March 15 — nearly 16 hours after departure.The feat was made possible in part because the “nowhere near full” cabin allowed the Boeing 787-9 to fly direct without refueling,
