About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Iki Airport (IKI), Iki, Iki Island, Japan and Daocheng Yading Airport (DCY), Daocheng, Sichuan, China would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,771 miles (or 2,850 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 Iki Airport and Daocheng Yading Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Iki Airport (IKI):

- Iki Airport (IKI) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Iki Airport (IKI) is Rio Grande Regional Airport (RIG), which is nearly antipodal to Iki Airport (meaning Iki Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Rio Grande Regional Airport), and is located 12,275 miles (19,755 kilometers) away in Rio Grande, Brazil.
- The closest airport to Iki Airport (IKI) is Fukuoka Airport (FUK), which is located 40 miles (64 kilometers) ESE of IKI.
