About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Necochea Airport (NEC), Necochea, Buenos Aires, Argentina and Mount Hagen Airport (HGU), Mount Hagen, Papua New Guinea would travel a Great Circle distance of 9,036 miles (or 14,541 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 Necochea Airport and Mount Hagen 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 Necochea Airport and Mount Hagen Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- The closest airport to Necochea Airport (NEC) is Miramar Airport (MJR), which is located 54 miles (87 kilometers) ENE of NEC.
- Because of Necochea Airport's relatively low elevation of 72 feet, planes can take off or land at Necochea 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.
