About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Orlando International Airport (MCO), Orlando, Florida, United States and Chaurjhari Airport (HRJ), Chaurjhari, Nepal would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,416 miles (or 13,544 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 Orlando International Airport and Chaurjhari 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 Orlando International Airport and Chaurjhari Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Orlando International Airport (MCO):
- The Orlando International Airport has a hub-and-spoke layout with a large main terminal building and four airside concourses accessible via elevated tram systems or people movers.
- Eastern Air Lines used Orlando as a hub during the 1970s and early 1980s, and became "the official airline of Walt Disney World." Following Eastern's demise, Delta Air Lines assumed this role, although it later pulled much of its large aircraft operations from Orlando, and focused its service there on regional jet flights, specifically with Atlantic Southeast Airlines, Comair and Chautauqua Airlines – all part of the Delta Connection system.
- In 2004, Hurricane Charley caused minor damage to the airport when it struck on the evening of August 13, mostly in the form of shattered terminal windows.
- In late 2007, Lufthansa introduced flights to Frankfurt.
- In 1975, the final Air Force contingent departed McCoy and the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority was established as a state-chartered governmental agency and an enterprise fund of the city of Orlando.
- The airport code MCO stands for the airport's former name, McCoy Air Force Base, a Strategic Air Command installation.
- Orlando International Airport (MCO) has 4 runways.
- During the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, McCoy AFB became a forward operating base for more than 120 F-100 Super Sabre and F-105 Thunderchief fighter bombers and the primary base for U-2 reconnaissance aircraft flying over Cuba.
