About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Asosa Airport (ASO), Asosa, Ethiopia and Karratha Airport (KTA), Karratha / Dampier, Western Australia, Australia would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,966 miles (or 9,602 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 Asosa Airport and Karratha 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 Asosa Airport and Karratha Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Asosa Airport (ASO):
- The closest airport to Asosa Airport (ASO) is Beica Airport (BEI), which is located 44 miles (70 kilometers) S of ASO.
- 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 furthest airport from Asosa Airport (ASO) is Manihi Airport (XMH), which is nearly antipodal to Asosa Airport (meaning Asosa Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Manihi Airport), and is located 12,128 miles (19,518 kilometers) away in Manihi, French Polynesia.
- Asosa Airport (ASO) currently has only 1 runway.
Facts about Karratha Airport (KTA):

- Karratha Airport handled 675,207 passengers last year.

Lloyd International Airport), and is located 12,263 miles (19,736 kilometers) away in The Valley, Anguilla.
- Because of Karratha Airport's relatively low elevation of 32 feet, planes can take off or land at Karratha 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.
