Nonstop flight route between Dillon, Montana, United States and Shizuoka, Honshu, Japan:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Dillon Airport (DLN), Dillon, Montana, United States and Shizuoka Airport (FSZ), Shizuoka, Honshu, Japan would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,362 miles (or 8,629 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 Dillon Airport and Shizuoka 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 Dillon Airport and Shizuoka Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Dillon Airport (DLN):

• The closest airport to Dillon Airport (DLN) is Bert Mooney Airport (BTM), which is located 48 miles (78 kilometers) N of DLN.
• Because of Dillon Airport's high elevation of 5,241 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at DLN. Combined with a high temperature, this could make DLN a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• Dillon Airport (DLN) has 2 runways.
• The furthest airport from Dillon Airport (DLN) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 10,660 miles (17,155 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.

Facts about Shizuoka Airport (FSZ):

• The airport was originally scheduled to open in March 2009, but was delayed by the shortening of the runway from 2,500 m to 2,200 m, by the use of a displaced threshold that cannot be used for takeoff or landing, due to environmental and noise concerns.
• The furthest airport from Shizuoka Airport (FSZ) is Diomício Freitas/Forquilhinha Airport (CCM), which is located 11,824 miles (19,029 kilometers) away in Criciúma, Santa Catarina, Brazil.
• While the Tokaido Shinkansen line travels directly underneath the airport, there is no train station nor have any plans been made to build one.
• Shizuoka Airport (FSZ) currently has only 1 runway.
• The closest airport to Shizuoka Airport (FSZ) is Nagoya Airfield (NKM), which is located 78 miles (126 kilometers) WNW of FSZ.
• In addition to being known as "Shizuoka Airport", other names for FSZ include "静岡空港" and "Shizuoka Kūkō".
• Because of Shizuoka Airport's relatively low elevation of 433 feet, planes can take off or land at Shizuoka 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.
