The mammoth journey started on Thursday from Shanghai and ended in Buenos Aires, with a two-hour stopover in Auckland, New Zealand, for fuel and crew rotation.
The flight from China to Argentina takes more than 25 hours, with the return journey taking four hours longer, prompting many to dub it ‘the longest flight in the world’.
The China Eastern service surpasses the previously held title by Singapore Airlines for its 19-hour direct route between New York and Singapore.
