About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Levuka Airfield (LEV), Bureta, Ovalau Island, Fiji and Jiayuguan Airport (JGN), Jiayuguan, Gansu, China would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,509 miles (or 10,474 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 Levuka Airfield and Jiayuguan 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 Levuka Airfield and Jiayuguan Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Levuka Airfield (LEV):
- Because of Levuka Airfield's relatively low elevation of 11 feet, planes can take off or land at Levuka Airfield 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 furthest airport from Levuka Airfield (LEV) is Gao International Airport (GAQ), which is nearly antipodal to Levuka Airfield (meaning Levuka Airfield is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Gao International Airport), and is located 12,306 miles (19,805 kilometers) away in Gao, Mali.
- The closest airport to Levuka Airfield (LEV) is Suva International Airport (SUV), which is located 26 miles (43 kilometers) SSW of LEV.
Facts about Jiayuguan Airport (JGN):
- In addition to being known as "Jiayuguan Airport", other names for JGN include "嘉峪关机场" and "Jiāyùguān Jīchǎng".
- The furthest airport from Jiayuguan Airport (JGN) is Pupelde Airfield (ZUD), which is nearly antipodal to Jiayuguan Airport (meaning Jiayuguan Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Pupelde Airfield), and is located 12,003 miles (19,316 kilometers) away in Ancud, Los Lagos Region, Chile.
- Because of Jiayuguan Airport's high elevation of 5,112 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at JGN. Combined with a high temperature, this could make JGN a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The closest airport to Jiayuguan Airport (JGN) is Zhangye Ganzhou Airport (YZY), which is located 144 miles (232 kilometers) ESE of JGN.
