About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Chinggis Khaan International Airport (ULN), Ulan Bator, Mongolia and Duxford Aerodrome (QFO), Duxford, England, United Kingdom would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,296 miles (or 6,913 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 Chinggis Khaan International Airport and Duxford Aerodrome, 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 Chinggis Khaan International Airport and Duxford Aerodrome. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Because of Chinggis Khaan International Airport's high elevation of 4,364 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at ULN. Combined with a high temperature, this could make ULN a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Between 1994 and 1997 a further major upgrade of construction and air navigation was achieved with the assistance of the Asian Development Bank, making the airport compliant with ICAO standards.
