About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Naha Airport (NAH), Tahuna, Indonesia and Lubumbashi International Airport (FBM), Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of the Congo would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,810 miles (or 10,960 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 Naha Airport and Lubumbashi International 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 Naha Airport and Lubumbashi International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Naha Airport (NAH):
- The closest airport to Naha Airport (NAH) is Melangguane Airport (MNA), which is located 82 miles (132 kilometers) ENE of NAH.
- Naha Airport (NAH) currently has only 1 runway.
- 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.
- In addition to being known as "Naha Airport", another name for NAH is "Bandar Udara Naha".
- The furthest airport from Naha Airport (NAH) is Santarém–Maestro Wilson Fonseca Airport (STM), which is nearly antipodal to Naha Airport (meaning Naha Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Santarém–Maestro Wilson Fonseca Airport), and is located 12,347 miles (19,871 kilometers) away in Santarém, Pará, Brazil.
Facts about Lubumbashi International Airport (FBM):

- Lubumbashi International Airport (FBM) currently has only 1 runway.
- The closest airport to Lubumbashi International Airport (FBM) is Kasompe Airport (CGJ), which is located 72 miles (116 kilometers) SSE of FBM.
- Because of Lubumbashi International Airport's high elevation of 4,295 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at FBM. Combined with a high temperature, this could make FBM a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
