About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Mataveri International Airport (IPC), Easter Island, Chile and Gobabis Airport (GOG), Gobabis, Namibia would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,574 miles (or 12,189 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 Mataveri International Airport and Gobabis 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 Mataveri International Airport and Gobabis Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Mataveri International Airport (IPC):
- In addition to being known as "Mataveri International Airport", another name for IPC is "Isla de Pascua Airport".
- Because of Mataveri International Airport's relatively low elevation of 227 feet, planes can take off or land at Mataveri International 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 Mataveri International Airport (IPC) is Jaisalmer Airport (JSA), which is nearly antipodal to Mataveri International Airport (meaning Mataveri International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Jaisalmer Airport), and is located 12,411 miles (19,973 kilometers) away in Jaisalmer, India.
- Mataveri International Airport (IPC) currently has only 1 runway.

Facts about Gobabis Airport (GOG):
- Because of Gobabis Airport's high elevation of 4,815 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at GOG. Combined with a high temperature, this could make GOG a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
