About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Iwami Airport (IWJ), Masuda, Shimane, Japan, Japan and Andahuaylas Airport (ANS), Andahuaylas, Peru would travel a Great Circle distance of 10,302 miles (or 16,580 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 Iwami Airport and Andahuaylas 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 Iwami Airport and Andahuaylas Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Iwami Airport (IWJ):
- The closest airport to Iwami Airport (IWJ) is Yamaguchi Ube Airport (UBJ), which is located 59 miles (95 kilometers) SSW of IWJ.
- Because of Iwami Airport's relatively low elevation of 177 feet, planes can take off or land at Iwami 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 Iwami Airport (IWJ) is Rio Grande Regional Airport (RIG), which is nearly antipodal to Iwami Airport (meaning Iwami Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Rio Grande Regional Airport), and is located 12,147 miles (19,548 kilometers) away in Rio Grande, Brazil.
- In addition to being known as "Iwami Airport", other names for IWJ include "石見空港" and "Iwami Kūkō".
- Iwami Airport (IWJ) currently has only 1 runway.
Facts about Andahuaylas Airport (ANS):
- The closest airport to Andahuaylas Airport (ANS) is Coronel FAP Alfredo Mendívil Duarte Airport (AYC), which is located 69 miles (111 kilometers) NW of ANS.
- Andahuaylas Airport (ANS) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Andahuaylas Airport (ANS) is Ratanakiri Airport (RBE), which is nearly antipodal to Andahuaylas Airport (meaning Andahuaylas Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Ratanakiri Airport), and is located 12,414 miles (19,979 kilometers) away in Ratanakiri, Cambodia.
- Because of Andahuaylas Airport's high elevation of 11,300 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at ANS. Combined with a high temperature, this could make ANS a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
