Nonstop flight route between Hobart, Tasmania, Australia and Idaho Falls, Idaho, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Hobart International Airport (HBA), Hobart, Tasmania, Australia and Idaho Falls Regional Airport (IDA), Idaho Falls, Idaho, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,592 miles (or 13,828 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 Hobart International Airport and Idaho Falls Regional 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 Hobart International Airport and Idaho Falls Regional Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Hobart International Airport (HBA):

• The closest airport to Hobart International Airport (HBA) is Launceston Airport (LST), which is located 91 miles (146 kilometers) N of HBA.
• Hobart International Airport (HBA) currently has only 1 runway.
• The international terminal was opened in 1983 to facilitate Trans-Tasman air traffic.
• Prior to the existence of the airport, the region was served by Cambridge Airport, a small airport located close to the existing site.
• The landing length required at Hobart for a Boeing 747 at maximum operational landing weight is 2,400 m, a minimum runway extension of 150 m would be beneficial to the operation of the airport.
• During April 2007, the Hobart Airport's public relations firm confirmed they had submitted plans of the project to the Federal Government for assessment.
• Because of Hobart International Airport's relatively low elevation of 13 feet, planes can take off or land at Hobart 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.
• Hobart Airport has two passenger terminals.
• The furthest airport from Hobart International Airport (HBA) is Corvo Airport (CVU), which is nearly antipodal to Hobart International Airport (meaning Hobart International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Corvo Airport), and is located 12,207 miles (19,645 kilometers) away in Corvo Island, Azores, Portugal.
