About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Rendani Airport (MKW), Manokwari, Irian Jaya, Indonesia and Eureka Airport (EUE), Eureka, Nevada, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,312 miles (or 11,767 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 Rendani Airport and Eureka 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 Rendani Airport and Eureka Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Because of Rendani Airport's relatively low elevation of 23 feet, planes can take off or land at Rendani 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 furthest airport from Rendani Airport (MKW) is Belém/Val de Cans–Júlio Cezar Ribeiro International Airport (BEL), which is nearly antipodal to Rendani Airport (meaning Rendani Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Belém/Val de Cans–Júlio Cezar Ribeiro International Airport), and is located 12,202 miles (19,637 kilometers) away in Belém, Pará, Brazil.
