About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Yakubu Gowon Airport (JOS), Jos, Nigeria and Inuvik (Mike Zubko) Airport (YEV), Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,746 miles (or 10,857 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 Inuvik (Mike Zubko) 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 Inuvik (Mike Zubko) Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Yakubu Gowon Airport (JOS) currently has only 1 runway.
- 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.
- The closest airport to Yakubu Gowon Airport (JOS) is Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (ABV), which is located 118 miles (190 kilometers) WSW of JOS.
