About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Saint John Airport (YSJ), Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada and Harare International Airport (HRE), Harare, Zimbabwe would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,426 miles (or 11,950 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 Saint John Airport and Harare International 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 Saint John Airport and Harare International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Saint John Airport (YSJ) has 2 runways.
- Saint John Airport is an airport located 8 nautical miles east northeast of the central business district of Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada.
- Because of Saint John Airport's relatively low elevation of 357 feet, planes can take off or land at Saint John 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 furthest airport from Saint John Airport (YSJ) is Albany Airport (ALH), which is located 11,694 miles (18,820 kilometers) away in Albany, Western Australia, Australia.
Facts about Harare International Airport (HRE):

- Also in 1949 the Minister of Mines and Transport set up an Airport Panel to co-ordinate the construction of the airport.
- Because of Harare International Airport's high elevation of 4,887 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at HRE. Combined with a high temperature, this could make HRE a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Harare International Airport handled 612,208 passengers last year.
- Harare International Airport (HRE) currently has only 1 runway.
