Nonstop flight route between Chizhou and Tongling, Anhui, China and Catamarca, Catamarca, Argentina:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Chizhou Jiuhuashan Airport (JUH), Chizhou and Tongling, Anhui, China and Coronel Felipe Varela International Airport (CTC), Catamarca, Catamarca, Argentina would travel a Great Circle distance of 12,183 miles (or 19,606 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 Chizhou Jiuhuashan Airport and Coronel Felipe Varela International 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 Chizhou Jiuhuashan Airport and Coronel Felipe Varela International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

The distance between JUH and CTC makes them almost exactly antipodal (the exact opposite side of the world) to each other. Nonstop flights between Chizhou Jiuhuashan Airport and Coronel Felipe Varela International Airport would be very impractical for the airlines, because only a lightly loaded Boeing 777-200LR would be able to make the trip. Since airlines need to be able to take as many people and cargo as possible in order to make a profit, the odds of ever seeing a nonstop flight between JUH and CTC are slim to none. However, you'll still be able to get from Chizhou and Tongling, Anhui, China and Catamarca, Catamarca, Argentina by taking some connecting flights!

Did you know that one full circling of the Earth (measuring from the equator) is about 24,901.5 miles (or 40,075 kilometers), which means if you were 12,450 miles from any given point on the planet, the distance back to your starting point would be about the same -- in any direction! The same can be said for a nonstop flight between JUH and CTC!
