About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Iki Airport (IKI), Iki, Iki Island, Japan and Ndola Airport (NLA), Ndola, Zambia would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,347 miles (or 11,824 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 Iki Airport and Ndola 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 Iki Airport and Ndola Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Iki Airport (IKI):
- Iki Airport (IKI) currently has only 1 runway.
- In addition to being known as "Iki Airport", other names for IKI include "壱岐空港" and "Iki Kūkō".
- Because of Iki Airport's relatively low elevation of 41 feet, planes can take off or land at Iki 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.
- 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.

- Ndola Airport (NLA) has 2 runways.
- Because of Ndola Airport's high elevation of 4,170 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at NLA. Combined with a high temperature, this could make NLA a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- It is situated 1,270 metres above sea level.
- It lies approximately 272 kilometres, by air, north of Lusaka International Airport, the largest airport in Zambia.
