About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Francistown International Airport/Francistown Air Base (FRW), Francistown, Botswana and Adisucipto International Airport (JOG), Yogyakarta, Indonesia would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,573 miles (or 8,970 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 Francistown International Airport/Francistown Air Base and Adisucipto International 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 Francistown International Airport/Francistown Air Base and Adisucipto International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Adisucipto International Airport (JOG):
- Adisucipto Airport is the fourth busiest airport in the region of Java–Bali, after Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta, Juanda International Airport in Surabaya and Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali.
- Before Adisucipto became an international airport, Yogyakarta depended on Bali and Jakarta for its international flights.
- Beside those accidents, there are some other minor incidents mainly because of landing in rain but without any casualties.
- Because of Adisucipto International Airport's relatively low elevation of 350 feet, planes can take off or land at Adisucipto International 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.
