About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Turin Airport (TRN), Turin, Italy and Grand Central Airport (GCJ), Johannesburg, South Africa would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,085 miles (or 8,184 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 Turin Airport and Grand Central 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 Turin Airport and Grand Central Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Turin Airport (TRN):
- Turin Airport handled 3,521,847 passengers last year.
- In addition to being known as "Turin Airport", another name for TRN is "Aeroporto di Torino".
- Because of Turin Airport's relatively low elevation of 989 feet, planes can take off or land at Turin 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.
- Turin Airport (TRN) currently has only 1 runway.
- The whole airport covers an area of more than 57 thousand square meters.
- The furthest airport from Turin Airport (TRN) is Chatham Islands (CHT), which is nearly antipodal to Turin Airport (meaning Turin Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Chatham Islands), and is located 12,213 miles (19,654 kilometers) away in Waitangi, Chatham Islands, New Zealand.
- The airport was built in 1953 and was renovated in 1989 for the 1990 FIFA World Cup and then again in 2005 in preparation for the Winter Olympics.
- The closest airport to Turin Airport (TRN) is Aosta Valley Airport (AOT), which is located 39 miles (63 kilometers) NNW of TRN.
Facts about Grand Central Airport (GCJ):
- The furthest airport from Grand Central Airport (GCJ) is Hana Airport (HNM), which is located 11,992 miles (19,299 kilometers) away in Hana, Hawaii, United States.
- Because of Grand Central Airport's high elevation of 5,327 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at GCJ. Combined with a high temperature, this could make GCJ a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The closest airport to Grand Central Airport (GCJ) is O. R. Tambo International Airport (JNB), which is located only 12 miles (20 kilometers) SSE of GCJ.
- Grand Central is a fully equipped airfield and is open 24 hours a day.
