About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Yonaguni Airport (OGN), Yonaguni, Okinawa, Japan and Bloemfontein International Airport (BFN), Bloemfontein, Free State, South Africa would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,399 miles (or 11,908 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 Yonaguni Airport and Bloemfontein 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 Yonaguni Airport and Bloemfontein International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Yonaguni Airport (OGN):
- Because of Yonaguni Airport's relatively low elevation of 49 feet, planes can take off or land at Yonaguni 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 "Yonaguni Airport", other names for OGN include "Yonaguni Jima Airport", "与那国空港" and "Yonaguni Kūkō".
- Yonaguni Airport (OGN) currently has only 1 runway.
- The closest airport to Yonaguni Airport (OGN) is Hateruma Airport (HTR), which is located 59 miles (95 kilometers) ESE of OGN.
- The furthest airport from Yonaguni Airport (OGN) is Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (ASU), which is nearly antipodal to Yonaguni Airport (meaning Yonaguni Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Silvio Pettirossi International Airport), and is located 12,375 miles (19,916 kilometers) away in Asunción, Paraguay.
