About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Moorea Airport (MOZ), Moorea, Windward Islands, French Polynesia and Yellowstone Airport (WYS), West Yellowstone, Montana, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,936 miles (or 7,944 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 Moorea Airport and Yellowstone 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 Moorea Airport and Yellowstone Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Moorea Airport (MOZ) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Moorea Airport's relatively low elevation of 16 feet, planes can take off or land at Moorea 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.
- The closest airport to Moorea Airport (MOZ) is Fa'a'ā International Airport (PPT), which is located only 11 miles (18 kilometers) ESE of MOZ.
- In addition to being known as "Moorea Airport", other names for MOZ include "Aéroport de Moorea" and "Moorea Temae Airport".
