IATA defines short haul as a total flight length under three hours, medium haul as 3-6 hours, long haul as 6-16 hours, and ultra long haul as 16 hours and above.
ICAO has other definitions, and doesn’t consider medium haul as a separate category. Some airlines and airports also have their own, distance-based definitions.
