About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Atar Airport (ATR), Atar, Mauritania and Sunriver Airport (SUO), Sunriver, Oregon, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,101 miles (or 9,819 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 Atar Airport and Sunriver 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 Atar Airport and Sunriver Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Atar Airport (ATR):
- Atar Airport (ATR) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Atar Airport's relatively low elevation of 758 feet, planes can take off or land at Atar 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.
- The closest airport to Atar Airport (ATR) is Akjoujt Airport (AJJ), which is located 102 miles (164 kilometers) WSW of ATR.
- The furthest airport from Atar Airport (ATR) is Maré Airport (MEE), which is nearly antipodal to Atar Airport (meaning Atar Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Maré Airport), and is located 12,340 miles (19,859 kilometers) away in Maré, Loyalty Islands, New Caledonia.
Facts about Sunriver Airport (SUO):
- The closest airport to Sunriver Airport (SUO) is Roberts Field (RDM), which is located 30 miles (48 kilometers) NNE of SUO.

- Sunriver Airport (SUO) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Sunriver Airport's high elevation of 4,164 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at SUO. Combined with a high temperature, this could make SUO a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- In addition to being known as "Sunriver Airport", another name for SUO is "S21".
