Nonstop flight route between Carolina, Maranhão, Brazil and Qiemo, Xinjiang, China:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Carolina Airport (CLN), Carolina, Maranhão, Brazil and Qiemo Airport (IQM), Qiemo, Xinjiang, China would travel a Great Circle distance of 10,653 miles (or 17,144 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 Carolina Airport and Qiemo 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 Carolina Airport and Qiemo Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Carolina Airport (CLN):

• The closest airport to Carolina Airport (CLN) is Andrés Sabella Gálvez International Airport (former Cerro Moreno International Airport) (ANF), which is located 52 miles (84 kilometers) SSW of CLN.
• Because of Carolina Airport's relatively low elevation of 128 feet, planes can take off or land at Carolina 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.
• Carolina Airport (CLN) currently has only 1 runway.
• The furthest airport from Carolina Airport (CLN) is Beihai Fucheng Airport (BHY), which is nearly antipodal to Carolina Airport (meaning Carolina Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Beihai Fucheng Airport), and is located 12,352 miles (19,878 kilometers) away in Beihai, Guangxi, China.
• In addition to being known as "Carolina Airport", other names for CLN include "Carolina Airport (Michilla)", "Aeropuerto Carolina" and "SCMY".

• In addition to being known as "Qiemo Airport", other names for IQM include "且末机场" and "Qiěmò Jīchǎng".
• Qiemo Airport (IQM) currently has only 1 runway.
• Because of Qiemo Airport's high elevation of 4,108 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at IQM. Combined with a high temperature, this could make IQM a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
