About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Drake Bay Airport (DRK), Drake Bay, Costa Rica and Khamti Airport (KHM), Khamti, Myanmar (Burma) would travel a Great Circle distance of 10,037 miles (or 16,154 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 Drake Bay Airport and Khamti 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 Drake Bay Airport and Khamti Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Drake Bay Airport (DRK):
- Drake Bay Airport (DRK) currently has only 1 runway.
- The closest airport to Drake Bay Airport (DRK) is Palmar Sur Airport (PMZ), which is located only 20 miles (31 kilometers) NE of DRK.
- The furthest airport from Drake Bay Airport (DRK) is Cocos (Keeling) Island Airport (CCK), which is nearly antipodal to Drake Bay Airport (meaning Drake Bay Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Cocos (Keeling) Island Airport), and is located 12,196 miles (19,627 kilometers) away in Cocos Islands, Australia.
- Because of Drake Bay Airport's relatively low elevation of 13 feet, planes can take off or land at Drake Bay 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.
Facts about Khamti Airport (KHM):
- The closest airport to Khamti Airport (KHM) is Jorhat Airport (JRH), which is located 106 miles (171 kilometers) WNW of KHM.
- Because of Khamti Airport's high elevation of 6,000 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at KHM. Combined with a high temperature, this could make KHM a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The furthest airport from Khamti Airport (KHM) is La Florida Airport (LSC), which is located 11,592 miles (18,655 kilometers) away in La Serena, Chile.
