About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Mtwara Airport (MYW), Mtwara, Tanzania and Aba Segud Airport (JIM), Jimma, Ethiopia would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,265 miles (or 2,036 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 Mtwara Airport and Aba Segud Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Mtwara Airport (MYW):
- Because of Mtwara Airport's relatively low elevation of 371 feet, planes can take off or land at Mtwara 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 closest airport to Mtwara Airport (MYW) is Lindi / Kikwetu Airport (LDI), which is located 44 miles (71 kilometers) NW of MYW.
- Mtwara Airport handled 19,718 passengers last year.

Facts about Aba Segud Airport (JIM):
- The furthest airport from Aba Segud Airport (JIM) is Atuona Airport (AUQ), which is nearly antipodal to Aba Segud Airport (meaning Aba Segud Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Atuona Airport), and is located 12,117 miles (19,500 kilometers) away in Atuona, Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia.
