Nonstop flight route between Ogden, Utah, United States and Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Hill Air Force Base (HIF), Ogden, Utah, United States and Sultan Azlan Shah Airport (IPH), Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,653 miles (or 13,925 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 Hill Air Force Base and Sultan Azlan Shah 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 Hill Air Force Base and Sultan Azlan Shah Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Because of Sultan Azlan Shah Airport's relatively low elevation of 130 feet, planes can take off or land at Sultan Azlan Shah 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.
