About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Langley Field (LFI), Hampton, Virginia, United States and Asosa Airport (ASO), Asosa, Ethiopia would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,919 miles (or 11,134 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 Langley Field and Asosa 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 Langley Field and Asosa Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Asosa Airport (ASO):
- Asosa Airport (ASO) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Asosa Airport (ASO) is Manihi Airport (XMH), which is nearly antipodal to Asosa Airport (meaning Asosa Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Manihi Airport), and is located 12,128 miles (19,518 kilometers) away in Manihi, French Polynesia.
- Because of Asosa Airport's high elevation of 5,121 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at ASO. Combined with a high temperature, this could make ASO a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The closest airport to Asosa Airport (ASO) is Beica Airport (BEI), which is located 44 miles (70 kilometers) S of ASO.
