About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Anatom Airport Aneityum Airport (AUY), Anatom, Taféa, Vanuatu and Mount Hotham Airport (MHU), Mount Hotham, Victoria, Australia would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,780 miles (or 2,864 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 relatively short distance between Anatom Airport Aneityum Airport and Mount Hotham Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Anatom Airport Aneityum Airport (AUY):
- The closest airport to Anatom Airport Aneityum Airport (AUY) is Futuna Airport (FTA), which is located 59 miles (95 kilometers) NNE of AUY.
- Because of Anatom Airport Aneityum Airport's relatively low elevation of 7 feet, planes can take off or land at Anatom Airport Aneityum 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 furthest airport from Anatom Airport Aneityum Airport (AUY) is Tichitt Airport (THI), which is nearly antipodal to Anatom Airport Aneityum Airport (meaning Anatom Airport Aneityum Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Tichitt Airport), and is located 12,304 miles (19,802 kilometers) away in Tichitt, Mauritania.
Facts about Mount Hotham Airport (MHU):

- Mount Hotham Airport (MHU) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Mount Hotham Airport's high elevation of 4,260 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at MHU. Combined with a high temperature, this could make MHU a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
