About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Forrest Airport (FOS), Forrest, Western Australia, Australia and Polokwane International Airport (PTG), Polokwane, South Africa would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,865 miles (or 9,440 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 Forrest Airport and Polokwane 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 Forrest Airport and Polokwane International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

  • Forrest Airport (FOS) has 2 runways.
  • Because of Forrest Airport's relatively low elevation of 511 feet, planes can take off or land at Forrest 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 "Polokwane International Airport", another name for PTG is "Gateway International Airport".
  • Because of Polokwane International Airport's high elevation of 4,076 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at PTG.
