Nonstop flight route between Dayton, Ohio, United States and Kili Island, Marshall Islands:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (FFO), Dayton, Ohio, United States and Kili Airport (KIO), Kili Island, Marshall Islands would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,847 miles (or 11,020 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 Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and Kili 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 Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and Kili Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• The closest airport to Kili Airport (KIO) is Jaluit Airport (UIT), which is located 39 miles (63 kilometers) ENE of KIO.
