A 3-connected graph G is essentially 4-connected if, for any 3-cut S ⊆ V (G) of G, at most one component of G− S contains at least two vertices. We prove that every essentially 4-connected maximal planar graph G on n vertices contains a cycle of length at least 2 3 (n+ 4); moreover, this bound is sharp.

The first step towards the so far elusive quest of finding a universal induction that captures longest cycles of polyhedral graph classes is taken, with a powerful and very general inductive motor for proving long cycles and computing them and improves the lower bound to match the upper.
