Nonstop flight route between Haifa, Israel and Bajawa, Indonesia:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Haifa Airport (HFA), Haifa, Israel and Bajawa Soa Airport (BJW), Bajawa, Indonesia would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,315 miles (or 10,163 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 Haifa Airport and Bajawa Soa 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 Haifa Airport and Bajawa Soa Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Because of Haifa Airport's relatively low elevation of 28 feet, planes can take off or land at Haifa 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 furthest airport from Haifa Airport (HFA) is Rurutu Airport (RUR), which is located 11,620 miles (18,700 kilometers) away in Rurutu, French Polynesia.
