About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Sultan Abdul Halim Airport (AOR), Alor Star, Kedah, Malaysia and Chachapoyas Airport (CHH), Chachapoyas, Peru would travel a Great Circle distance of 12,317 miles (or 19,822 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 Sultan Abdul Halim Airport and Chachapoyas 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 Sultan Abdul Halim Airport and Chachapoyas Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

The distance between AOR and CHH makes them almost exactly antipodal (the exact opposite side of the world) to each other. Nonstop flights between Sultan Abdul Halim Airport and Chachapoyas Airport would be very impractical for the airlines, because only a lightly loaded Boeing 777-200LR would be able to make the trip. Since airlines need to be able to take as many people and cargo as possible in order to make a profit, the odds of ever seeing a nonstop flight between AOR and CHH are slim to none. However, you'll still be able to get from Alor Star, Kedah, Malaysia and Chachapoyas, Peru by taking some connecting flights!

Did you know that one full circling of the Earth (measuring from the equator) is about 24,901.5 miles (or 40,075 kilometers), which means if you were 12,450 miles from any given point on the planet, the distance back to your starting point would be about the same -- in any direction! The same can be said for a nonstop flight between AOR and CHH!

  • Sultan Abdul Halim Airport handled 535,073 passengers last year.
  • The furthest airport from Sultan Abdul Halim Airport (AOR) is Cap. FAP José A. Quiñones González International Airport (CIX), which is nearly antipodal to Sultan Abdul Halim Airport (meaning Sultan Abdul Halim Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Cap. FAP José A. Quiñones González International Airport), and is located 12,393 miles (19,944 kilometers) away in Chiclayo, Peru.
  • The closest airport to Sultan Abdul Halim Airport (AOR) is Langkawi International Airport (LGK), which is located 47 miles (75 kilometers) WNW of AOR.
  • Because of Sultan Abdul Halim Airport's relatively low elevation of 15 feet, planes can take off or land at Sultan Abdul Halim 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.
  • In addition to being known as "Sultan Abdul Halim Airport", another name for AOR is "Lapangan Terbang Sultan Abdul Halim".
  • Sultan Abdul Halim Airport (AOR) currently has only 1 runway.

Facts about Chachapoyas Airport (CHH):

  • Chachapoyas Airport (CHH) currently has only 1 runway.
  • The closest airport to Chachapoyas Airport (CHH) is Mayor General FAP Armando Revoredo Iglesias (CJA), which is located 78 miles (126 kilometers) SW of CHH.
  • The furthest airport from Chachapoyas Airport (CHH) is Sultan Ismail Petra Airport (KBR), which is nearly antipodal to Chachapoyas Airport (meaning Chachapoyas Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Sultan Ismail Petra Airport), and is located 12,426 miles (19,998 kilometers) away in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Malaysia.
  • Because of Chachapoyas Airport's high elevation of 8,333 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at CHH. Combined with a high temperature, this could make CHH a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
