About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Melville Hall Airport (DOM), Melville Hall (near Roseau), Dominica and Dolpa Airport (DOP), Dolpa, Nepal would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,538 miles (or 13,740 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 Melville Hall Airport and Dolpa 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 Melville Hall Airport and Dolpa Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Because of Melville Hall Airport's relatively low elevation of 73 feet, planes can take off or land at Melville Hall 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 Melville Hall Airport (DOM) is Canefield Airport (DCF), which is located only 16 miles (25 kilometers) SSW of DOM.

- Dolpa Airport (DOP) currently has only 1 runway.
