About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Naha Airport (NAH), Tahuna, Indonesia and Dêqên Shangri-La Airport (DIG), Shangri-La, Yunnan, China would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,382 miles (or 3,833 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 Naha Airport and Dêqên Shangri-La Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Naha Airport (NAH):
- Because of Naha Airport's relatively low elevation of 16 feet, planes can take off or land at Naha 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 Naha Airport (NAH) is Melangguane Airport (MNA), which is located 82 miles (132 kilometers) ENE of NAH.
- In addition to being known as "Naha Airport", another name for NAH is "Bandar Udara Naha".
