About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Khamti Airport (KHM), Khamti, Myanmar (Burma) and Oran Tafaraoui Airport (TAF), Oran, Algeria would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,520 miles (or 8,883 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 Khamti Airport and Oran Tafaraoui 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 Khamti Airport and Oran Tafaraoui Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- The closest airport to Khamti Airport (KHM) is Jorhat Airport (JRH), which is located 106 miles (171 kilometers) WNW of KHM.
- Because of Khamti Airport's high elevation of 6,000 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at KHM. Combined with a high temperature, this could make KHM a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
Facts about Oran Tafaraoui Airport (TAF):
- The closest airport to Oran Tafaraoui Airport (TAF) is Es-Sénia – Ben Bella Airport (ORN), which is located only 7 miles (12 kilometers) NW of TAF.

- Because of Oran Tafaraoui Airport's relatively low elevation of 367 feet, planes can take off or land at Oran Tafaraoui 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.
