About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Yakubu Gowon Airport (JOS), Jos, Nigeria and Nakashibetsu Airport (SHB), Nakashibetsu, Japan would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,844 miles (or 12,623 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 Yakubu Gowon Airport and Nakashibetsu 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 Yakubu Gowon Airport and Nakashibetsu Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Yakubu Gowon Airport (JOS):

  • The closest airport to Yakubu Gowon Airport (JOS) is Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (ABV), which is located 118 miles (190 kilometers) WSW of JOS.
  • Because of Yakubu Gowon Airport's high elevation of 4,232 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at JOS. Combined with a high temperature, this could make JOS a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
  • Yakubu Gowon Airport (JOS) currently has only 1 runway.
  • The furthest airport from Yakubu Gowon Airport (JOS) is Asau Airport (AAU), which is nearly antipodal to Yakubu Gowon Airport (meaning Yakubu Gowon Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Asau Airport), and is located 12,151 miles (19,555 kilometers) away in Asau, Samoa.

Facts about Nakashibetsu Airport (SHB):

  • The furthest airport from Nakashibetsu Airport (SHB) is Port Stanley Airport (PSY), which is located 11,246 miles (18,099 kilometers) away in Stanley, Falkland Islands, United Kingdom.

  • In addition to being known as "Nakashibetsu Airport", another name for SHB is "中標津空港".
  • Nakashibetsu Airport was constructed as an Imperial Japanese Navy airfield in 1944.
  • Because of Nakashibetsu Airport's relatively low elevation of 214 feet, planes can take off or land at Nakashibetsu 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.
