Nonstop flight route between Adelaide, South Australia, Australia and Iringa, Tanzania:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Adelaide Airport (ADL), Adelaide, South Australia, Australia and Iringa / Nduli Airport (IRI), Iringa, Tanzania would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,628 miles (or 10,666 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 Adelaide Airport and Iringa / Nduli 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 Adelaide Airport and Iringa / Nduli Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!
