About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Uru Harbour Airport (ATD), Atoifi, Malaita, Solomon Islands and Cobán Airport (CBV), Cobán, Alta Verapaz, Guatemala would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,611 miles (or 12,249 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 Uru Harbour Airport and Cobán 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 Uru Harbour Airport and Cobán Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
- The furthest airport from Uru Harbour Airport (ATD) is Bubaque Airport (BQE), which is nearly antipodal to Uru Harbour Airport (meaning Uru Harbour Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Bubaque Airport), and is located 12,165 miles (19,577 kilometers) away in Bubaque, Guinea-Bissau.
