DAR-ZNZ (46 miles) on B737s (Air Tanzania)
And what I believe is the shortest air route in the world with jet service:
BZV-FIH (17 miles) on B727s (Hewa Bora Airlines)
makes sense that many of the shortest routes are over water, where the alternatives to flying are slim and/or none.
wonder what the shortest routes are when driving
is an option...

and i thought UA 748 SFO/RNO on an A320 over 192 miles was overkill...
