About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Changsha Huanghua International Airport (CSX), Changsha, Hunan, China and Chachoan Airport (ATF), Ambato, Ecuador would travel a Great Circle distance of 10,416 miles (or 16,763 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 Changsha Huanghua International Airport and Chachoan 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 Changsha Huanghua International Airport and Chachoan Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- In addition to being known as "Changsha Huanghua International Airport", other names for CSX include "长沙黄花国际机场" and "Chángshā Huánghuā Guójì Jīchǎng".
- Because of Changsha Huanghua International Airport's relatively low elevation of 217 feet, planes can take off or land at Changsha Huanghua 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.
- Changsha Huanghua International Airport handled 13,684,731 passengers last year.
- The furthest airport from Changsha Huanghua International Airport (CSX) is Coronel Felipe Varela International Airport (CTC), which is nearly antipodal to Changsha Huanghua International Airport (meaning Changsha Huanghua International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Coronel Felipe Varela International Airport), and is located 12,369 miles (19,905 kilometers) away in Catamarca, Catamarca, Argentina.

- In addition to being known as "Chachoan Airport", another name for ATF is "Aeropuerto Chachoan".
