Nonstop flight route between Yaroslavl, Russia and Punta Raisi (near Palermo), Italy:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Tunoshna (IAR), Yaroslavl, Russia and Falcone–Borsellino Airport (PMO), Punta Raisi (near Palermo), Italy would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,811 miles (or 2,914 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 Tunoshna and Falcone–Borsellino Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
