About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Siwo Airport (EAE), Sangafa, Emae, Shéfa, Vanuatu and Hamadan Airport (HDM), Hamadan, Iran would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,560 miles (or 13,776 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 Siwo Airport and Hamadan 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 Siwo Airport and Hamadan Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Siwo Airport (EAE):
- The closest airport to Siwo Airport (EAE) is Tongoa Airport (TGH), which is located only 19 miles (31 kilometers) NE of EAE.
- Because of Siwo Airport's relatively low elevation of 7 feet, planes can take off or land at Siwo 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 furthest airport from Siwo Airport (EAE) is Kiffa Airport (KFA), which is nearly antipodal to Siwo Airport (meaning Siwo Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Kiffa Airport), and is located 12,398 miles (19,953 kilometers) away in Kiffa, Mauritania.
Facts about Hamadan Airport (HDM):
- Because of Hamadan Airport's high elevation of 5,755 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at HDM. Combined with a high temperature, this could make HDM a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
