What's the cheapest flight in the world per kilometer traveled?

Interesting problem. "Non-stop" flights are often priced higher than connections (even if they include the same non-stop leg) simply because they can. Sticking with mainline carriers, you have to find a route that's long and has enough non-stop competition to keep prices low.
Mainline: Bejing/SYD r/t in Oct. $425 on Kayak with Air China, 8942 km times 2 or for 2.37 US cent/km. That's a good route since Qantas ($455) and China Eastern do this as well. Xiamen and Sichuan offer the same route for under $350 but there are stop-overs.
Cheap carriers: Ryan Air offers a one way from Dublin to Bremen for $15.34 (late June). It's a 1001 km so that comes out to be 1.5c/km. Other options are Vienna and Lodz which are also in the 1.3c-1.5c/km range.
EDIT: The Ryan Air flight from DUB to Bremen shows actually up in Google flights (June 26) for $16, so I think that counts

Well, I'll kick this off by suggesting the same answer as I did in the other question: the subsidized domestic fare for flying from Ashgabat to Balkanabad in Turkmenistan is 38 Turkmen manat for 385 km, which comes to USD 0.0052/km at the February 2018 black market rate of 14 TMT to the dollar.
No, you can't book that on Google Flights, but IMHO this condition is unnecessarily restrictive since it'll also exclude the vast majority of some low-cost carriers (edit: Huh, looks like their coverage has improved a lot since I last checked!).
