About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Maloelap Airport (MAV), Taroa Island, Maloelap Atoll, Marshall Islands and Chilas Airport (CHB), Chilas, Pakistan would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,268 miles (or 10,087 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 Maloelap Airport and Chilas 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 Maloelap Airport and Chilas Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Because of Maloelap Airport's relatively low elevation of 4 feet, planes can take off or land at Maloelap 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.
Facts about Chilas Airport (CHB):
- Chilas Airport (CHB) currently has only 1 runway.
- The closest airport to Chilas Airport (CHB) is Gilgit Airport (GIL), which is located 37 miles (59 kilometers) NNE of CHB.
