About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Hilo International Airport (ITO), Hilo, Hawaii, United States and Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), Paris, France would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,492 miles (or 12,057 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 Hilo International Airport and Paris Charles de Gaulle 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 Hilo International Airport and Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
- The primary reason for Hilo International Airport's relatively stagnant passenger count is the lack of tourism within the airport's service area, which includes the districts of Hilo and Puna, as well as portions of the districts of Hāmākua and Kaʻū, relative to the Kona district and Kohala district and the islands of Kauaʻi and Maui.
