Nonstop flight route between Sunyani, Ghana and Bury St. Edmunds, England, United Kingdom:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Sunyani Airport (NYI), Sunyani, Ghana and RAF Honington USAAF Station 375 (BEQ), Bury St. Edmunds, England, United Kingdom would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,113 miles (or 5,010 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 Sunyani Airport and RAF Honington USAAF Station 375, 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 Sunyani Airport and RAF Honington USAAF Station 375. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!
