Nonstop flight route between Kron Monjan (Karanomunjan), Afghanistan and Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Razer Airport (KUR), Kron Monjan (Karanomunjan), Afghanistan and Ebadon Airstrip (EBN), Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,250 miles (or 10,058 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 Razer Airport and Ebadon Airstrip, 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 Razer Airport and Ebadon Airstrip. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• The furthest airport from Razer Airport (KUR) is Mataveri International Airport (IPC), which is located 11,825 miles (19,031 kilometers) away in Easter Island, Chile.
• The closest airport to Razer Airport (KUR) is Chitral Airport (CJL), which is located 59 miles (95 kilometers) E of KUR.
