About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Haikou Meilan International Airport (HAK), Haikou, Hainan, China and Uyuni Joya Andina Airport (UYU), Uyuni, Potosí, Bolivia would travel a Great Circle distance of 12,258 miles (or 19,728 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 Haikou Meilan International Airport and Uyuni Joya Andina 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 Haikou Meilan International Airport and Uyuni Joya Andina Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

The distance between HAK and UYU makes them almost exactly antipodal (the exact opposite side of the world) to each other. Nonstop flights between Haikou Meilan International Airport and Uyuni Joya Andina Airport would be very impractical for the airlines, because only a lightly loaded Boeing 777-200LR would be able to make the trip. Since airlines need to be able to take as many people and cargo as possible in order to make a profit, the odds of ever seeing a nonstop flight between HAK and UYU are slim to none. However, you'll still be able to get from Haikou, Hainan, China and Uyuni, Potosí, Bolivia by taking some connecting flights!

Did you know that one full circling of the Earth (measuring from the equator) is about 24,901.5 miles (or 40,075 kilometers), which means if you were 12,450 miles from any given point on the planet, the distance back to your starting point would be about the same -- in any direction! The same can be said for a nonstop flight between HAK and UYU!

Facts about Haikou Meilan International Airport (HAK):

  • Because of Haikou Meilan International Airport's relatively low elevation of 75 feet, planes can take off or land at Haikou Meilan 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.
  • In addition to being known as "Haikou Meilan International Airport", other names for HAK include "海口美兰国际机场", "Hǎikǒu Měilán Guójì Jīchǎng" and "ZJHK[1]".
  • A new, international terminal opened on August 14, 2013.
  • The closest airport to Haikou Meilan International Airport (HAK) is Zhanjiang Airport (ZHA), which is located 89 miles (143 kilometers) N of HAK.
  • The furthest airport from Haikou Meilan International Airport (HAK) is Diego Aracena International Airport (IQQ), which is nearly antipodal to Haikou Meilan International Airport (meaning Haikou Meilan International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Diego Aracena International Airport), and is located 12,378 miles (19,921 kilometers) away in Iquique, Chile.

  • Because of Uyuni Joya Andina Airport's high elevation of 12,972 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at UYU. Combined with a high temperature, this could make UYU a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
  • In addition to being known as "Uyuni Joya Andina Airport", another name for UYU is "Aeropuerto de Uyuni / Aeropuerto Joya Andina".
