The longest flight distance by Y20 thus far - Moscow.

The distance of a direct flight from Beijing (where the PLA Guard of Honor is stationed) to Moscow is 5,807 kilometers.

20041 probably took one stop in the middle, which was likely Urumqi. Beijing to Urumqi: 2,416 kilometers

Urumqi to Moscow: 3,741 kilometers

Even 3,741 kilometers is probably the longest flight so far with a payload of 20-30 tons (105 passengers + equipment & supply).
