About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Devonport Airport (DPO), Devonport, Tasmania, Australia and Jomsom Airport (JMO), Jomsom, Nepal would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,276 miles (or 10,099 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 Devonport Airport and Jomsom 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 Devonport Airport and Jomsom Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Devonport Airport (DPO):
- Devonport Airport (DPO) has 2 runways.
- Because of Devonport Airport's relatively low elevation of 33 feet, planes can take off or land at Devonport 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 Devonport Airport (DPO) is George Town Aerodrome (GEE), which is located 22 miles (36 kilometers) ENE of DPO.
- The furthest airport from Devonport Airport (DPO) is Corvo Airport (CVU), which is nearly antipodal to Devonport Airport (meaning Devonport Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Corvo Airport), and is located 12,271 miles (19,749 kilometers) away in Corvo Island, Azores, Portugal.
