About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Polonia International Airport (MES), Medan, Indonesia and Skypark Airport (BTF), Bountiful, Utah, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,811 miles (or 14,180 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 Polonia International Airport and Skypark 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 Polonia International Airport and Skypark Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Polonia International Airport (MES):
- Because of Polonia International Airport's relatively low elevation of 114 feet, planes can take off or land at Polonia 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.
- In addition to being known as "Polonia International Airport", other names for MES include "Bandar Udara Internasional Polonia" and "WIMK".
- Polonia International Airport now belongs to the Indonesian Air Force and will be transformed into a military base.
- The airport's last arrival is AirAsia from Bandung at 23:50 WIB.
- The closest airport to Polonia International Airport (MES) is Kualanamu International Airport (KNO), which is located only 15 miles (24 kilometers) ENE of MES.
- The airport is now closed to commercial aviation and replaced by Kuala Namu International Airport.
- The furthest airport from Polonia International Airport (MES) is Cap. FAP Pedro Canga Rodríguez Airport (TBP), which is nearly antipodal to Polonia International Airport (meaning Polonia International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Cap.
