About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Hawthorne Industrial Airport (HTH), Hawthorne, Nevada, United States and Avalon Airport (AVV), Avalon, Victoria, Australia would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,116 miles (or 13,061 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 Hawthorne Industrial Airport and Avalon 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 Hawthorne Industrial Airport and Avalon Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Hawthorne Industrial Airport (HTH):
- Because of Hawthorne Industrial Airport's high elevation of 4,215 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at HTH. Combined with a high temperature, this could make HTH a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The furthest airport from Hawthorne Industrial Airport (HTH) is Pierrefonds Airport (ZSE), which is located 11,196 miles (18,017 kilometers) away in Saint-Pierre, Réunion.
- Hawthorne Industrial Airport (HTH) has 2 runways.
- The closest airport to Hawthorne Industrial Airport (HTH) is Gabbs Airport (GAB), which is located 45 miles (72 kilometers) NE of HTH.
Facts about Avalon Airport (AVV):
- The furthest airport from Avalon Airport (AVV) is Flores Airport (FLW), which is nearly antipodal to Avalon Airport (meaning Avalon Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Flores Airport), and is located 12,165 miles (19,578 kilometers) away in Flores Island, Azores, Portugal.
- In 2013, Virgin Airways announced its take-over bid to purchase a 60% share of the ailing airline, which was approved by the ACCC after a protracted investigation to ensure that airlines and domestic airfares remained competitive to the general public.
- In the beginning, the airport was a sheep and cattle farm and homestead, founded by James Austin, an immigrant from Glastonbury, Scotland.

- The closest airport to Avalon Airport (AVV) is Geelong Airport (GEX), which is located only 16 miles (25 kilometers) SE of AVV.
- The airport's location between Melbourne and Geelong makes it both a capital city airport and an regional airport, servicing a large regional catchment in western Victoria and providing connections to tourism destinations such as the Great Ocean Road. Since Linfox Group’s purchase of the airport in 1997, Avalon Airport’s aviation operations have grown significantly as it has established itself as a second gateway to the Melbourne and Geelong regions.
- Because of Avalon Airport's relatively low elevation of 115 feet, planes can take off or land at Avalon 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.
- Currently the airport alone hosts Jetstar Airways, who offer five flights per day to Sydney and Brisbane, using the Airbus A320.
- On 27 June 1995 Aerospace Technologies of Australia was privatised by the Commonwealth Government, selling the aircraft divisions to Rockwell Australia Limited, and the airport operations to Avalon Airport Geelong Pty Ltd.
- In addition to being known as "Avalon Airport", another name for AVV is "Melbourne/Avalon".
- The airport was opened in 1953, to cater for the production of military aircraft.
