I have been having the same issues with load times being excessive on Flightseeing missions but I have been trying to mostly fly helicopters at the moment. This was never an issue until SU1

I think this may be similar to the issues posted here:

Can’t start a flight, just get a loading circle when clicking ‘start flight’ - Bug Reporting Hub / Install, Performance & Graphics - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

Long loading/infinite time for free flight after pressing “Start flight” - LOD reduce as workaround - Bug Reporting Hub / Install, Performance & Graphics - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

Reducing the LOD from 200 to 100 let me successfully load into the challenges, so you may want to try the same to see if it helps with missions as well. I was having trouble getting into banner towing missions. I never had an issue before SU1 either…
