About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Lanyu Airport (KYD), Orchid Island, Taitung County, Taiwan and Negage Airport (GXG), Negage, Angola would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,456 miles (or 11,999 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 Lanyu Airport and Negage 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 Lanyu Airport and Negage Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Lanyu Airport (KYD):
- The closest airport to Lanyu Airport (KYD) is Lyudao Airport (Green Island Airport) (GNI), which is located 45 miles (72 kilometers) N of KYD.
- Because of Lanyu Airport's relatively low elevation of 44 feet, planes can take off or land at Lanyu 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 Lanyu Airport (KYD) is Dr. Luis María Argaña International Airport (ESG), which is nearly antipodal to Lanyu Airport (meaning Lanyu Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Dr. Luis María Argaña International Airport), and is located 12,299 miles (19,794 kilometers) away in Mariscal Estigarribia, Paraguay.

Facts about Negage Airport (GXG):
- The closest airport to Negage Airport (GXG) is Malanje Airport (MEG), which is located 141 miles (227 kilometers) SSE of GXG.

- In addition to being known as "Negage Airport", another name for GXG is "Negage Airport (Negage)".
