About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Néma Airport (EMN), Nema, Mauritania and Taylor Airport (TYZ), Taylor, Arizona, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,271 miles (or 10,092 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 Néma Airport and Taylor 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 Néma Airport and Taylor Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Because of Néma Airport's relatively low elevation of 758 feet, planes can take off or land at Néma 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 Néma Airport (EMN) is Timbedra Airport (TMD), which is located 62 miles (101 kilometers) WSW of EMN.
