Some of the longest passenger planes in the world are real giants. Right now, the longest plane is the Boeing 747-8 at 250 ft 2 in. Its giant size allows it to accommodate up to 605 passengers, making it one of the largest passenger aircraft in the world.

It is followed by the A340-600, a rare quadjet today but once a staple of the long-haul scene, with its 247 ft 3 in fuselage just a few feet shorter than the 747-8. And in bronze position is the enigmatic Boeing 777-300 at 242 ft 4 in, with several other famous faces in the top 10.

Although the Boeing 747-8 retains the crown for longest airliner today, a new aircraft is nipping at its heels. The Boeing 777X, when it enters service, will be the longest jet aircraft ever to be used in commercial service, with a fuselage length of 251 ft 9 in for the 777-9.
