About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Zhoushan Putuoshan Airport (HSN), Zhoushan, Zhejiang, China and Las Vegas Municipal Airport (LVS), Las Vegas, New Mexico, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,954 miles (or 11,192 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 Zhoushan Putuoshan Airport and Las Vegas Municipal 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 Zhoushan Putuoshan Airport and Las Vegas Municipal Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Zhoushan Putuoshan Airport (HSN):
- The Chinese engineers had a rather unique way of placing the fill which was regularly monitored by U.S.
- The runway was originally designed to be long enough to land 747s, which require around 10,000' length for take-off by 130' width.
- The furthest airport from Zhoushan Putuoshan Airport (HSN) is Monte Caseros Airport (MCS), which is nearly antipodal to Zhoushan Putuoshan Airport (meaning Zhoushan Putuoshan Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Monte Caseros Airport), and is located 12,413 miles (19,977 kilometers) away in Monte Caseros, Corrientes, Argentina.
- Considering the land had to be built up 9 meters, even with the trapezium shaped cross section, approximately 5,500,000 cubic meters of fill had to be quarried, transported and placed by local labor.
- In addition to being known as "Zhoushan Putuoshan Airport", other names for HSN include "舟山普陀山机场" and "Zhōushān Pǔtuóshān Jīchǎng".
- The closest airport to Zhoushan Putuoshan Airport (HSN) is Ningbo Lishe International Airport (NGB), which is located 54 miles (88 kilometers) W of HSN.

- The airport appeared in the 2011 film Haywire.
- Because of Las Vegas Municipal Airport's high elevation of 6,877 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at LVS. Combined with a high temperature, this could make LVS a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Las Vegas Municipal Airport is a city-owned public airport five miles northeast of Las Vegas, in San Miguel County, New Mexico.
- Las Vegas Municipal Airport (LVS) has 2 runways.
