About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Hilo International Airport (ITO), Hilo, Hawaii, United States and Aba Segud Airport (JIM), Jimma, Ethiopia would travel a Great Circle distance of 10,380 miles (or 16,704 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 Hilo International Airport and Aba Segud 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 Hilo International Airport and Aba Segud Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Because of Hilo International Airport's relatively low elevation of 38 feet, planes can take off or land at Hilo International Airport at a lower air speed than at airports located at a higher elevation. This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
- Work began on an interim overseas terminal at General Lyman Field in November 1968.
- Improvements to Hilo's airfield were minimal during its first decade.
- A groundbreaking ceremony for a new terminal building was held on July 17, 1952.

- Because of Aba Segud Airport's high elevation of 5,587 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at JIM. Combined with a high temperature, this could make JIM a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- In addition to being known as "Aba Segud Airport", another name for JIM is "Jimma Airport".
