Nonstop flight route between Luzhou, Sichuan, China and Hilo, Hawaii, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Luzhou Lantian Airport (LZO), Luzhou, Sichuan, China and Hilo International Airport (ITO), Hilo, Hawaii, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,116 miles (or 9,843 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 Luzhou Lantian Airport and Hilo International 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 Luzhou Lantian Airport and Hilo International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• The end of the war did not immediately bring about a return to civilian control of General Lyman Field.
• Because of Hilo International Airport's relatively low elevation of 38 feet, planes can take off or land at Hilo International 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.
• Other proposed noise mitigation measures include a barrier on the north side of the airport and the extension of Runway 8-26 by 1,850 feet to the east and displacing the western end of the runway by the same amount, thereby maintaining the runway's length.
