About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Flagstaff Pulliam Airport (FLG), Flagstaff, Arizona, United States and Gusti Syamsir Alam Airport (KBU), Kotabaru, Kalimantan, Indonesia would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,673 miles (or 13,958 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 Flagstaff Pulliam Airport and Gusti Syamsir Alam 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 Flagstaff Pulliam Airport and Gusti Syamsir Alam Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Flagstaff Pulliam Airport (FLG):
- Historically, Flagstaff was served by the original Frontier Airlines until 1979 with Convair 580 turboprops to Phoenix as well as direct, no change of plane CV-580 service to Denver via Gallup, NM, Farmington, NM and Durango, CO.
- Because of Flagstaff Pulliam Airport's high elevation of 7,014 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at FLG. Combined with a high temperature, this could make FLG a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- American Eagle served the airport on behalf of American Airlines at one point with Saab 340 turboprops to Phoenix.
