About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Kirensk Airport (KCK), Kirensk, Irkutsk Oblast, Russia and Asmara International Airport (ASM), Asmara, Eritrea would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,563 miles (or 7,343 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 Kirensk Airport and Asmara 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 Kirensk Airport and Asmara International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Kirensk Airport (KCK):

  • Because of Kirensk Airport's relatively low elevation of 840 feet, planes can take off or land at Kirensk 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 closest airport to Kirensk Airport (KCK) is Ust-Kut Airport (UKX), which is located 108 miles (173 kilometers) SW of KCK.
  • Kirensk Airport (KCK) currently has only 1 runway.
  • In addition to being known as "Kirensk Airport", another name for KCK is "Аэропорт Киренск".
  • The furthest airport from Kirensk Airport (KCK) is Ushuaia International Airport (USH), which is nearly antipodal to Kirensk Airport (meaning Kirensk Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Ushuaia International Airport), and is located 12,191 miles (19,619 kilometers) away in Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina.
