About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Kimwarer Airport (KRV), Kerio Valley, Kenya and Morawa Airport (MWB), Morawa, Western Australia, Australia would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,648 miles (or 9,090 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 Morawa 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 Morawa Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Kimwarer Airport (KRV):
- Kimwarer Airport is located in Keiyo District, Rift Valley Province, in the village of Kimwarer, in the southwestern part of Kenya on the map.
- Kimwarer Airport (KRV) currently has only 1 runway.
- 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.
- In addition to being known as "Kimwarer Airport", other names for KRV include "Nakuru Airport" and "Kimwarer".
- The closest airport to Kimwarer Airport (KRV) is Eldoret International Airport (EDL), which is located 30 miles (48 kilometers) W of KRV.
- Its location is approximately 250 kilometres, by air, northwest of Nairobi International Airport, the country’s largest civilian airport.
- The furthest airport from Kimwarer Airport (KRV) is Atuona Airport (AUQ), which is located 11,688 miles (18,811 kilometers) away in Atuona, Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia.
Facts about Morawa Airport (MWB):
- Morawa Airport (MWB) has 2 runways.

Wade International Airport), and is located 12,214 miles (19,657 kilometers) away in Ferry Reach (near Hamilton), Bermuda.
- Because of Morawa Airport's relatively low elevation of 886 feet, planes can take off or land at Morawa 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.
