About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Carriel Sur International Airport (CCP), Concepción, Bío Bío Region, Chile and Ashgabat International Airport (ASB), Ashgabat, Turkmenistan would travel a Great Circle distance of 9,799 miles (or 15,770 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 Carriel Sur International Airport and Ashgabat 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 Carriel Sur International Airport and Ashgabat International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Carriel Sur International Airport (CCP):
- Although plans of building an airport near Concepción date back to 1954, construction began only in 1960, shortly after the 22 May earthquake, as it became imperative to count with a modern airport to link Chile's south-central region with the rest of the country.
- In addition to being known as "Carriel Sur International Airport", another name for CCP is "Aeropuerto Internacional Carriel Sur (Concepción)".
- Because of Carriel Sur International Airport's relatively low elevation of 26 feet, planes can take off or land at Carriel Sur International 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 Carriel Sur International Airport (CCP) is General Bernardo O'Higgins Airport (YAI), which is located 59 miles (94 kilometers) ENE of CCP.
- In 2000, the original terminal building was decommissioned and turned over to the aviation authority for administrative use.
- The furthest airport from Carriel Sur International Airport (CCP) is Qingyang Airport (IQN), which is nearly antipodal to Carriel Sur International Airport (meaning Carriel Sur International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Qingyang Airport), and is located 12,360 miles (19,891 kilometers) away in Qingyang, Gansu, China.

- In addition to being known as "Ashgabat International Airport", another name for ASB is "Saparmyrat Türkmenbaşy halkara aeroporty".
- Because of Ashgabat International Airport's relatively low elevation of 692 feet, planes can take off or land at Ashgabat International 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.
