About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Muş Airport (MSR), Muş, Turkey and DuPage Airport (DPA), West Chicago, Illinois, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,038 miles (or 9,716 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 Muş Airport and DuPage 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 Muş Airport and DuPage Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Muş Airport (MSR):
- Muş Airport (MSR) currently has only 1 runway.

- The closest airport to Muş Airport (MSR) is Siirt Airport (SXZ), which is located 54 miles (87 kilometers) S of MSR.
- Because of Muş Airport's high elevation of 4,157 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at MSR. Combined with a high temperature, this could make MSR a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.

- However, planners learned a lesson from the plight of the beleaguered, land-locked Midway Airport.
- Because of DuPage Airport's relatively low elevation of 759 feet, planes can take off or land at DuPage 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.
