About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Kharkhorin Airport (KHR), Kharkhorin, Mongolia and Fort Liard Airport (YJF), Fort Liard, Northwest Territories, Canada would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,570 miles (or 7,354 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 Kharkhorin Airport and Fort Liard 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 Kharkhorin Airport and Fort Liard Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Because of Kharkhorin Airport's high elevation of 4,759 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at KHR. Combined with a high temperature, this could make KHR a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
Facts about Fort Liard Airport (YJF):

- Because of Fort Liard Airport's relatively low elevation of 708 feet, planes can take off or land at Fort Liard 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.
