About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Ine Airport (IMI), Ine, Arno Atoll, Marshall Islands and Van Ferit Melen Airport (VAN), Van, Turkey would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,865 miles (or 12,657 kilometers).
A Great Circle is the shortest distance between 2 points on a sphere. Because most world maps are flat (but the Earth is round), the route of the shortest distance between 2 points on the Earth will often appear curved when viewed on a flat map, especially for long distances. If you were to simply draw a straight line on a flat map and measure a very long distance, it would likely be much further than if you were to lay a string between those two points on a globe. Because of the large distance between Ine Airport and Van Ferit Melen Airport, the route shown on this map most likely appears curved because of this reason.
Try it at home! Get a globe and tightly lay a string between Ine Airport and Van Ferit Melen Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Ine Airport (IMI):

- The closest airport to Ine Airport (IMI) is Marshall Islands International Airport (MAJ), which is located only 15 miles (24 kilometers) WNW of IMI.
- The furthest airport from Ine Airport (IMI) is RAF Ascension (ASI), which is nearly antipodal to Ine Airport (meaning Ine Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from RAF Ascension), and is located 12,029 miles (19,359 kilometers) away in Georgetown, Ascension Island, Saint Helena.

- Because of Van Ferit Melen Airport's high elevation of 5,480 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at VAN. Combined with a high temperature, this could make VAN a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
