About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Yecheon Air Base (YEC), Yecheon, South Korea and Qiemo Airport (IQM), Qiemo, Xinjiang, China would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,332 miles (or 3,753 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 relatively short distance between Yecheon Air Base and Qiemo Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Yecheon Air Base (YEC):
- Yecheon Air Base (YEC) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Yecheon Air Base's relatively low elevation of 354 feet, planes can take off or land at Yecheon Air Base 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 Yecheon Air Base (YEC) is Capitán de Corbeta Carlos A. Curbelo International Airport (PDP), which is nearly antipodal to Yecheon Air Base (meaning Yecheon Air Base is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Capitán de Corbeta Carlos A. Curbelo International Airport), and is located 12,208 miles (19,646 kilometers) away in Maldonado/Punta del Este, Maldonado, Uruguay.
