About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Stewart International Airport (SWF), Newburgh, New York, United States and Andizhan International Airport (AZN), Andizhan, Uzbekistan would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,378 miles (or 10,265 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 Stewart International Airport and Andizhan International 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 Stewart International Airport and Andizhan International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Stewart International Airport (SWF):
- The Metropolitan Transportation Authority was the first government body to try to convert it into the New York metropolitan area's fourth major airport.
- Because of Stewart International Airport's relatively low elevation of 491 feet, planes can take off or land at Stewart 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.
- In 1930 Thomas "Archie" Stewart, an early aviation enthusiast and descendant of prominent local dairy farmer Lachlan Stewart, convinced his uncle Samuel Stewart to donate "Stoney Lonesome", split between the towns of Newburgh and New Windsor, to the nearby city of Newburgh for use as an airport.
