About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Kōchi Airport (KCZ), Kōchi, Japan and Kharkhorin Airport (KHR), Kharkhorin, Mongolia would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,861 miles (or 2,995 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 relatively short distance between Kōchi Airport and Kharkhorin Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Kōchi Airport (KCZ):
- The furthest airport from Kōchi Airport (KCZ) is Rio Grande Regional Airport (RIG), which is nearly antipodal to Kōchi Airport (meaning Kōchi Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Rio Grande Regional Airport), and is located 12,083 miles (19,446 kilometers) away in Rio Grande, Brazil.
 - The closest airport to Kōchi Airport (KCZ) is Takamatsu Airport (TAK), which is located 50 miles (81 kilometers) NNE of KCZ.
 - Because of Kōchi Airport's relatively low elevation of 29 feet, planes can take off or land at Kōchi 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.
 - In addition to being known as "Kōchi Airport", another name for KCZ is "高知空港".
 - On 13 March 2007, All Nippon Airways Flight 1603, a Bombardier Dash 8, bound from Osaka to Kōchi, landed safely at the Kochi Airport after the front wheel of the plane failed to deploy.

Facts about Kharkhorin Airport (KHR):
- The closest airport to Kharkhorin Airport (KHR) is Khujirt Airport (HJT), which is located 24 miles (39 kilometers) S of KHR.
 - Because of Kharkhorin Airport's high elevation of 4,759 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at KHR. Combined with a high temperature, this could make KHR a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
 - The furthest airport from Kharkhorin Airport (KHR) is Cochrane Airfield (LGR), which is nearly antipodal to Kharkhorin Airport (meaning Kharkhorin Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Cochrane Airfield), and is located 12,222 miles (19,669 kilometers) away in Cochrane, Chile.
