Nonstop flight route between Bryan, Texas, United States and Bayankhongor, Mongolia:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Coulter Field (CFD), Bryan, Texas, United States and Bayankhongor Airport (BYN), Bayankhongor, Mongolia would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,019 miles (or 11,295 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 Coulter Field and Bayankhongor 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 Coulter Field and Bayankhongor Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Coulter Field (CFD):

• Because of Coulter Field's relatively low elevation of 367 feet, planes can take off or land at Coulter Field 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 Coulter Field (CFD) is Easterwood Airport (CLL), which is located only 9 miles (14 kilometers) SSW of CFD.
• The furthest airport from Coulter Field (CFD) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 10,963 miles (17,643 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
• Coulter Field covers an area of 256 acres at an elevation of 367 feet above mean sea level.
• Coulter Field (CFD) has 2 runways.

Facts about Bayankhongor Airport (BYN):

• The furthest airport from Bayankhongor Airport (BYN) is Cochrane Airfield (LGR), which is nearly antipodal to Bayankhongor Airport (meaning Bayankhongor Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Cochrane Airfield), and is located 12,110 miles (19,490 kilometers) away in Cochrane, Chile.
• The closest airport to Bayankhongor Airport (BYN) is Arvaykheer Airport (AVK), which is located 101 miles (162 kilometers) E of BYN.
• Bayankhongor Airport (BYN) has 2 runways.
• Because of Bayankhongor Airport's high elevation of 6,085 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at BYN. Combined with a high temperature, this could make BYN a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• Bayankhongor Airport handled 2,192 passengers last year.
