Nonstop flight route between Quiché, El Quiché, Guatemala and Osaka, Japan:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Quiché Airport (AQB), Quiché, El Quiché, Guatemala and Kansai International Airport (KIX), Osaka, Japan would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,861 miles (or 12,651 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 Quiché Airport and Kansai International 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 Quiché Airport and Kansai International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Because of Quiché Airport's high elevation of 6,631 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at AQB. Combined with a high temperature, this could make AQB a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The closest airport to Quiché Airport (AQB) is Quetzaltenango Airport (AAZ), which is located 26 miles (41 kilometers) WSW of AQB.
