About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Fort Worth Alliance Airport (AFW), Fort Worth, Texas, United States and Asosa Airport (ASO), Asosa, Ethiopia would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,097 miles (or 13,031 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 Fort Worth Alliance Airport and Asosa 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 Fort Worth Alliance Airport and Asosa Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Fort Worth Alliance Airport (AFW) has 2 runways.
- The closest airport to Fort Worth Alliance Airport (AFW) is Fort Worth Meacham Int'l Airport (FTW), which is located only 12 miles (19 kilometers) SSW of AFW.
- Because of Fort Worth Alliance Airport's relatively low elevation of 722 feet, planes can take off or land at Fort Worth Alliance 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.

- Asosa Airport (ASO) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Asosa Airport's high elevation of 5,121 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at ASO. Combined with a high temperature, this could make ASO a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The closest airport to Asosa Airport (ASO) is Beica Airport (BEI), which is located 44 miles (70 kilometers) S of ASO.
