Nonstop flight route between Hilo, Hawaii, United States and Bajhang, Nepal:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Hilo International Airport (ITO), Hilo, Hawaii, United States and Bajhang Airport (BJH), Bajhang, Nepal would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,378 miles (or 11,874 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 Hilo International Airport and Bajhang 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 Hilo International Airport and Bajhang Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• The passenger terminal complex, including commuter facilities, is at the southern edge of Hilo International Airport and is served by an access roadway from Hawaii Belt Road at Kekūanaōʻa Avenue.
• Efforts finally had some success on April 28, 2006, when ATA Airlines re-established daily non-stop service between Hilo and Oakland International Airport in California aboard its Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
• The furthest airport from Hilo International Airport (ITO) is Maun Airport (MUB), which is nearly antipodal to Hilo International Airport (meaning Hilo International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Maun Airport), and is located 12,336 miles (19,854 kilometers) away in Maun, Botswana.
• The commuter terminal is located in a small, stand alone building approximately 0.25 miles to the west of the main passenger terminal.
• A groundbreaking ceremony for a new terminal building was held on July 17, 1952.
• Because of Hilo International Airport's relatively low elevation of 38 feet, planes can take off or land at Hilo 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 closest airport to Hilo International Airport (ITO) is Pōhakuloa Training Area (BSF), which is located 44 miles (71 kilometers) W of ITO.
• Over 95% of aircraft operations take place on Runway 8-26 because the orientation of Runway 3-21 makes direct flights over residential and commercial areas unavoidable.

Facts about Bajhang Airport (BJH):

• The closest airport to Bajhang Airport (BJH) is Sanphebagar Airport (FEB), which is located 21 miles (34 kilometers) S of BJH.
• Because of Bajhang Airport's high elevation of 4,100 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at BJH. Combined with a high temperature, this could make BJH a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The furthest airport from Bajhang Airport (BJH) is Mataveri International Airport (IPC), which is located 11,772 miles (18,944 kilometers) away in Easter Island, Chile.
