About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Harare International Airport (HRE), Harare, Zimbabwe and Sendai Airport (SDJ), Natori, Japan would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,039 miles (or 12,938 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 Sendai 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 Sendai Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Originally, it was anticipated that the airport would be completed by 1954.
- 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.
