Nonstop flight route between Los Negros Island, Admiralty Islands, Papua New Guinea and Atkamba, Papua New Guinea:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Momote Airport (MAS), Los Negros Island, Admiralty Islands, Papua New Guinea and Atkamba Airport (ABP), Atkamba, Papua New Guinea would travel a Great Circle distance of 516 miles (or 831 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 Momote Airport and Atkamba Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
