About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Guangyuan Airport (GYS), Guangyuan, Sichuan, China and Sitiawan Airport (SWY), Perak, Malaysia would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,973 miles (or 3,176 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 relatively short distance between Guangyuan Airport and Sitiawan Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Guangyuan Airport (GYS):
- In addition to being known as "Guangyuan Airport", other names for GYS include "广元机场" and "Guǎngyuán Jīchǎng".
- The furthest airport from Guangyuan Airport (GYS) is Viña del Mar Airport (KNA), which is nearly antipodal to Guangyuan Airport (meaning Guangyuan Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Viña del Mar Airport), and is located 12,268 miles (19,744 kilometers) away in Viña del Mar, Chile.
- The closest airport to Guangyuan Airport (GYS) is Mianyang Nanjiao Airport (MIG), which is located 87 miles (140 kilometers) SW of GYS.
- Because of Guangyuan Airport's high elevation of 14,472 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at GYS. Combined with a high temperature, this could make GYS a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
Facts about Sitiawan Airport (SWY):
- The furthest airport from Sitiawan Airport (SWY) is Camilo Ponce Enriquez Airport (LOH), which is nearly antipodal to Sitiawan Airport (meaning Sitiawan Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Camilo Ponce Enriquez Airport), and is located 12,421 miles (19,989 kilometers) away in Loja, Ecuador.

- Because of Sitiawan Airport's relatively low elevation of 25 feet, planes can take off or land at Sitiawan 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 Sitiawan Airport (SWY) is Sultan Azlan Shah Airport (IPH), which is located 37 miles (59 kilometers) NE of SWY.
