About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Harare International Airport (HRE), Harare, Zimbabwe and Anvik Airport (ANV), Anvik, Alaska, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 9,300 miles (or 14,967 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 Harare International Airport and Anvik 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 Harare International Airport and Anvik Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Harare International Airport (HRE):
- The closest airport to Harare International Airport (HRE) is Mutare Airport (UTA), which is located 125 miles (201 kilometers) SE of HRE.
- Because of Harare International Airport's high elevation of 4,887 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at HRE. Combined with a high temperature, this could make HRE a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Harare International Airport handled 612,208 passengers last year.
- The furthest airport from Harare International Airport (HRE) is Hilo International Airport (ITO), which is nearly antipodal to Harare International Airport (meaning Harare International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Hilo International Airport), and is located 12,017 miles (19,339 kilometers) away in Hilo, Hawaii, United States.
- The airport is today operated by the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe and is the hub of Air Zimbabwe.
- Later the same year, an Airfield Construction Unit was formed to undertake an extensive search for a suitable site for a national airport.

- The closest airport to Anvik Airport (ANV) is Grayling Airport (KGX), which is located only 18 miles (28 kilometers) NNE of ANV.
- Anvik Airport (ANV) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Anvik Airport's relatively low elevation of 309 feet, planes can take off or land at Anvik 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 Anvik Airport (ANV) is George Airport (GRJ), which is located 10,455 miles (16,825 kilometers) away in George, South Africa.
