Nonstop flight route between Incheon (near Seoul), South Korea and Mansa, Luapula Province, Zambia:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Incheon International Airport (ICN), Incheon (near Seoul), South Korea and Mansa Airport (MNS), Mansa, Luapula Province, Zambia would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,097 miles (or 11,421 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 Incheon International Airport and Mansa 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 Incheon International Airport and Mansa Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Incheon International Airport (ICN):

• Incheon International Airport (ICN) has 3 runways.
• Because of Incheon International Airport's relatively low elevation of 23 feet, planes can take off or land at Incheon International 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.
• Initially, there were numerous problems, mostly involving baggage handling, which required the system to be operated semi-automatically.
• In addition to being known as "Incheon International Airport", other names for ICN include "인천국제공항 仁川國際空港" and "Incheon Gukje Gonghang Inch'ŏn Kukche Konghang".
• With the completion, the airport has an annual capacity of 410,000 flights, 44,000,000 passengers, and nearly 4,500,000 metric tonnes of cargo.
• Incheon International Airport handled 41,482,828 passengers last year.
