Nonstop flight route between Altai, Govi-Altai, Mongolia and Shizuoka, Honshu, Japan:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Altai Airport (LTI), Altai, Govi-Altai, Mongolia and Shizuoka Airport (FSZ), Shizuoka, Honshu, Japan would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,312 miles (or 3,720 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 relatively short distance between Altai Airport and Shizuoka Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Altai Airport (LTI):

• Altai Airport handled 4,300 passengers last year.
• The closest airport to Altai Airport (LTI) is Bayankhongor Airport (BYN), which is located 214 miles (345 kilometers) E of LTI.
• Altai Airport (LTI) currently has only 1 runway.
• Because of Altai Airport's high elevation of 7,260 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at LTI. Combined with a high temperature, this could make LTI a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The furthest airport from Altai Airport (LTI) is Cochrane Airfield (LGR), which is located 11,905 miles (19,158 kilometers) away in Cochrane, Chile.

Facts about Shizuoka Airport (FSZ):

• In addition to being known as "Shizuoka Airport", other names for FSZ include "静岡空港" and "Shizuoka Kūkō".
• The furthest airport from Shizuoka Airport (FSZ) is Diomício Freitas/Forquilhinha Airport (CCM), which is located 11,824 miles (19,029 kilometers) away in Criciúma, Santa Catarina, Brazil.
• While the Tokaido Shinkansen line travels directly underneath the airport, there is no train station nor have any plans been made to build one.
• The closest airport to Shizuoka Airport (FSZ) is Nagoya Airfield (NKM), which is located 78 miles (126 kilometers) WNW of FSZ.
• The closest railway station is Kanaya Station on the Tōkaidō Main Line and the Ōigawa Main Line.
• Shizuoka Airport (FSZ) currently has only 1 runway.
• Because of Shizuoka Airport's relatively low elevation of 433 feet, planes can take off or land at Shizuoka 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.
• The airport was originally scheduled to open in March 2009, but was delayed by the shortening of the runway from 2,500 m to 2,200 m, by the use of a displaced threshold that cannot be used for takeoff or landing, due to environmental and noise concerns.
