About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Andahuaylas Airport (ANS), Andahuaylas, Peru and Christmas Island Airport (XCH), Christmas Island, Australia would travel a Great Circle distance of 10,766 miles (or 17,326 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 Andahuaylas Airport and Christmas Island 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 Andahuaylas Airport and Christmas Island Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Because of Andahuaylas Airport's high elevation of 11,300 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at ANS. Combined with a high temperature, this could make ANS a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The furthest airport from Andahuaylas Airport (ANS) is Ratanakiri Airport (RBE), which is nearly antipodal to Andahuaylas Airport (meaning Andahuaylas Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Ratanakiri Airport), and is located 12,414 miles (19,979 kilometers) away in Ratanakiri, Cambodia.
