Qantas runs the most demanding Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner network in the world today. Five routes flown by the airline's Dreamliners stretch beyond 8,000 miles, and the longest of them, Perth to London, has needed a Singapore fuel stop westbound since Middle East airspace closures forced longer flight paths. This countdown ranks the five by great circle distance, from Perth to Rome at about 8,300 miles (13,357 km) up to Perth to London at 9,010 miles (14,500 km).
