About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Salluit Airport (YZG), Salluit, Quebec, Canada and Khovd Airport (HVD), Khovd, Mongolia would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,794 miles (or 7,716 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 Salluit Airport and Khovd 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 Salluit Airport and Khovd Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Salluit Airport (YZG) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Salluit Airport (YZG) is Albany Airport (ALH), which is located 10,466 miles (16,843 kilometers) away in Albany, Western Australia, Australia.
