About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Abemama Atoll Airport (AEA), Abemama Atoll, Kiribati and Khamti Airport (KHM), Khamti, Myanmar (Burma) would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,469 miles (or 8,801 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 Abemama Atoll Airport and Khamti 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 Abemama Atoll Airport and Khamti Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Abemama Atoll Airport (AEA):
- In March 1944, the USAAF combat units moved west into the Marshalls, and Abemama became a transport hub for the 9th Troop Carrier Squadron until August.
- Because of Abemama Atoll Airport's relatively low elevation of 8 feet, planes can take off or land at Abemama Atoll 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.
- The closest airport to Abemama Atoll Airport (AEA) is Aranuka Airport (AAK), which is located 25 miles (40 kilometers) SSW of AEA.
- The furthest airport from Abemama Atoll Airport (AEA) is Cape Palmas Airport (CPA), which is nearly antipodal to Abemama Atoll Airport (meaning Abemama Atoll Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Cape Palmas Airport), and is located 12,084 miles (19,448 kilometers) away in Cape Palmas, Liberia.
Facts about Khamti Airport (KHM):
- Because of Khamti Airport's high elevation of 6,000 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at KHM. Combined with a high temperature, this could make KHM a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
