About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Agri Airport (AJI), Ağrı, Turkey and Canton Island Airport (CIS), Canton Island, Kiribati would travel a Great Circle distance of 9,087 miles (or 14,624 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 Agri Airport and Canton Island 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 Agri Airport and Canton Island Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Agri Airport (AJI):
- The closest airport to Agri Airport (AJI) is Kars Airport (KSY), which is located 63 miles (101 kilometers) N of AJI.
- Because of Agri Airport's high elevation of 5,462 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at AJI. Combined with a high temperature, this could make AJI a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Agri Airport (AJI) currently has only 1 runway.
- In addition to being known as "Agri Airport", another name for AJI is "Ağrı Havalimanı (Turkish)".
- The furthest airport from Agri Airport (AJI) is Totegegie Airport (GMR), which is located 11,285 miles (18,162 kilometers) away in Mangareva, Gambier Islands, French Polynesia.
