About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Zhoushan Putuoshan Airport (HSN), Zhoushan, Zhejiang, China and Uṣak Airport (USQ), Usak, Turkey would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,104 miles (or 8,214 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 Uṣak 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 Uṣak Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Zhoushan Putuoshan Airport (HSN):
- 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.
- At the end of the day the runway length was held to 8,200 which is too short for fully laden 747's to take off safely although it could be extended at sometime in the future if this was ever required.
- An interesting fact relating to the design of the runway is that the existing site, which was a large area of rice paddy fields, was less than a half-meter above sea level, situated behind a protective dam which kept seawater out during severe weather.
- The runway was originally designed to be long enough to land 747s, which require around 10,000' length for take-off by 130' width.
