About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Auckland Airport (AKL), Mangere, New Zealand and Yangzhou Taizhou Airport (YTY), Yangzhou and Taizhou, Jiangsu, China would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,975 miles (or 9,617 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 Auckland Airport and Yangzhou Taizhou 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 Auckland Airport and Yangzhou Taizhou Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Gates 50–59 are used by 3rd level operators Air Chathams, Great Barrier Airlines, Flight Hauraki, Fly My Sky and Sunair.
- In early 2014, the Airport released their 30 year vision for the future which will see the airport combine both the international and domestic operations into one combined building based around the existing international terminal.
