Nonstop flight route between Hawker, South Australia, Australia and Anggi, Indonesia:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Wilpena Pound (HWK), Hawker, South Australia, Australia and Anggi Airport (AGD), Anggi, Indonesia would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,107 miles (or 3,392 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 relatively short distance between Wilpena Pound and Anggi Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Wilpena Pound (HWK):

• Although not part of the Pound, the adjacent Elder Range was named by Frederick Sinnett after the very successful Adelaide businessman, Sir Thomas Elder.
• In an attempt to sort out their conflicting claims over the pastoral lease, Bonney and Surveyor-General Henry Freeling employed H.C.
• The furthest airport from Wilpena Pound (HWK) is Flores Airport (FLW), which is located 11,642 miles (18,736 kilometers) away in Flores Island, Azores, Portugal.
• Because of Wilpena Pound's relatively low elevation of 0 feet, planes can take off or land at Wilpena Pound 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 first European to see the distant mountains of the Pound was almost certainly Edward Eyre from the western plains on his first 1839 expedition to the vicinity of Lake Torrens.
• The closest airport to Wilpena Pound (HWK) is Leigh Creek Airport (LGH), which is located 67 miles (108 kilometers) N of HWK.
• The wall of mountains almost completely encircles the gently-sloping interior of the Pound, with the only breaks being the gorge at Wilpena Gap and a high saddle in the south-western range over which the Heysen Trail passes.

Facts about Anggi Airport (AGD):

• The closest airport to Anggi Airport (AGD) is Rendani Airport (MKW), which is located 36 miles (58 kilometers) NNE of AGD.
• Because of Anggi Airport's high elevation of 7,054 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at AGD. Combined with a high temperature, this could make AGD a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• Anggi Airport (AGD) currently has only 1 runway.
• The furthest airport from Anggi Airport (AGD) is Belém/Val de Cans–Júlio Cezar Ribeiro International Airport (BEL), which is nearly antipodal to Anggi Airport (meaning Anggi Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Belém/Val de Cans–Júlio Cezar Ribeiro International Airport), and is located 12,186 miles (19,612 kilometers) away in Belém, Pará, Brazil.
• In addition to being known as "Anggi Airport", another name for AGD is "WASG".
