About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Coromandel Aerodrome (CMV), Coromandel, New Zealand and Dêqên Shangri-La Airport (DIG), Shangri-La, Yunnan, China would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,638 miles (or 10,683 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 Coromandel Aerodrome and Dêqên Shangri-La 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 Coromandel Aerodrome and Dêqên Shangri-La Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Coromandel Aerodrome (CMV):
- Because of Coromandel Aerodrome's relatively low elevation of 13 feet, planes can take off or land at Coromandel Aerodrome 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 Coromandel Aerodrome (CMV) is Thames Aerodrome (TMZ), which is located 26 miles (41 kilometers) S of CMV.
- The furthest airport from Coromandel Aerodrome (CMV) is Málaga Airport (AGP), which is nearly antipodal to Coromandel Aerodrome (meaning Coromandel Aerodrome is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Málaga Airport), and is located 12,429 miles (20,002 kilometers) away in Málaga, Spain.
- Coromandel Aerodrome (CMV) currently has only 1 runway.
Facts about Dêqên Shangri-La Airport (DIG):
- Dêqên Shangri-La Airport (DIG) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Dêqên Shangri-La Airport (DIG) is La Florida Airport (LSC), which is located 11,866 miles (19,096 kilometers) away in La Serena, Chile.
- The closest airport to Dêqên Shangri-La Airport (DIG) is Lijiang Sanyi Airport (LJG), which is located 85 miles (136 kilometers) SSE of DIG.
- Because of Dêqên Shangri-La Airport's high elevation of 10,761 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at DIG. Combined with a high temperature, this could make DIG a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- In addition to being known as "Dêqên Shangri-La Airport", other names for DIG include "迪庆香格里拉机场" and "Díqìng Xiānggélǐlā Jīchǎng".
