About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Frégate Island Airport (FRK), Frégate Island, Seychelles and King Fahd International Airport (DMM), Dammam, Saudi Arabia would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,185 miles (or 3,516 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 relatively short distance between Frégate Island Airport and King Fahd International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
