So you're discounting the Azores because "derogations from the application of EU law could apply" even though "none do"?

+1. I tried to think of a reason why this doesn't answer the question, but I failed. It's scheduled (their official website talks about the next scheduled flight.) Also, you can't disqualify it because it leaves EU territory. That would also disqualify all flights crossing Swiss/Norwegian/Liechtensteinian airspace. Also, OP doesn't say "longest distance between airports" he just says "longest flight". I have to admit that this meets all of OP's criteria, and it easily wins by distance traveled.

It's a great answer. It appears that the flight is really a Polarflug charter flight, operated by airberlin, which would really make it not a "regularly scheduled flight," but the question only asks about a "scheduled flight."

Larnaca, Cyprus to Dublin, Ireland
Flight distance is 2316 miles (3727 km) and flight time of 5h 35m (via Cobalt Airseasonal route).
Cyprus is the easternmost country in the EU and this is the farthest flight available from it. If there was a scheduled flight to Lisbon it's be slightly better but not by much.
Going from east-west is better than south-north due to going against the prevailing winds so it takes longer.

Helsinki to Lisbon on Finnair (Flight TAP Portugal 791) takes 4h55m and spans just over 3350 kilometers.
It's unlikely anything else could come close, unless there are charter flights from the northernmost Finnish airports.

I would include it on that basis, as well as the Azores, but I assume since chx linked to the Wikipedia article that mention in the article is definitive grounds for exclusion.

Flights from the northernmost Finnish airports: Well, there is a flight Rovaniemi–Chania (even though that is about 1000 km shorter) so the possibility exists.

Helsinki to Lisbon on Finnair (Flight TAP Portugal 791) takes 4h55m and spans just over 3350 kilometers.
It's unlikely anything else could come close, unless there are charter flights from the northernmost Finnish airports.

Tenerife is in a "special member state territory" so out of scope of the question.

@phoog I've thought it's not since it's in the Schengen. Answer updated.

ORY (Orly, Paris, France) to CAY (Cayenne, Guyane, France)
is 4420 miles, 7114 km, about 9 hr

If French Guiana counts, then I think Réunion should too, and RUN-CDG is 9349 km, 11h15 with Air Austral.
