Hello, could be good, but Corona still imposes severe restrictions on the offer. There was also the Anchorage - Winnipeg route (2100 NM over 5 hours)
Wow. I live in Australia and didn't even know about that route. Looks like I'll need to fix up my AI flight plans a bit.
I'd suggest it would be close to the longest. The following information is taken from: https://thepointsguy.com/news/the-longest-routes-on-a-dash-8-turboprop/

Hello =D
Luxair has done a nice and long Charter last summer : https://flightaware.com/live/flight/LGL7963
It was looooooong
At the moment it's at least as far as Bucarest
N721AL which is owned by the US Dept of Justice sometimes does legs of 4+ hours. Not sure how they have range for that, but who knows how fully loaded they are either.
