About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Kimwarer Airport (KRV), Kerio Valley, Kenya and Lelystad Airport (LEY), Lelystad, Netherlands would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,001 miles (or 6,438 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 Kimwarer Airport and Lelystad 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 Kimwarer Airport and Lelystad Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Kimwarer Airport (KRV):

  • Because of Kimwarer Airport's high elevation of 4,701 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at KRV. Combined with a high temperature, this could make KRV a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
  • Kimwarer Airport is a small civilian airport, serving the village of Kimwarer and surrounding communities.
  • In addition to being known as "Kimwarer Airport", other names for KRV include "Nakuru Airport" and "Kimwarer".
