Nonstop flight route between Paamiut, Greenland and Mataram, Indonesia:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Paamiut Airport (JFR), Paamiut, Greenland and Selaparang Airport (AMI), Mataram, Indonesia would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,674 miles (or 13,959 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 Paamiut Airport and Selaparang 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 Paamiut Airport and Selaparang Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!
