About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Jingdezhen Luojia Airport (JDZ), Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, China and Johan Pienaar Airport (KMH), Kuruman, South Africa would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,328 miles (or 11,794 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 Jingdezhen Luojia Airport and Johan Pienaar 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 Jingdezhen Luojia Airport and Johan Pienaar Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Jingdezhen Luojia Airport (JDZ):
- Because of Jingdezhen Luojia Airport's relatively low elevation of 112 feet, planes can take off or land at Jingdezhen Luojia 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 Jingdezhen Luojia Airport (JDZ) is Ceres Airport (CRR), which is nearly antipodal to Jingdezhen Luojia Airport (meaning Jingdezhen Luojia Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Ceres Airport), and is located 12,372 miles (19,910 kilometers) away in Ceres, Santa Fe, Argentina.

- Because of Johan Pienaar Airport's high elevation of 4,382 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at KMH. Combined with a high temperature, this could make KMH a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Johan Pienaar Airport (KMH) currently has only 1 runway.
