About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Frutillar Airport (FRT), Frutillar, Chile and Gilgit Airport (GIL), Gilgit, Pakistan would travel a Great Circle distance of 10,649 miles (or 17,138 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 Frutillar Airport and Gilgit 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 Frutillar Airport and Gilgit Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- In addition to being known as "Frutillar Airport", other names for FRT include "Frutillar Airport (Frutillar)" and "SCFR".
- Because of Frutillar Airport's relatively low elevation of 469 feet, planes can take off or land at Frutillar 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 Frutillar Airport (FRT) is Wuhai Airport (WUA), which is nearly antipodal to Frutillar Airport (meaning Frutillar Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Wuhai Airport), and is located 12,344 miles (19,866 kilometers) away in Wuhai, Inner Mongolia, China.
