Nonstop flight route between Perth, Western Australia, Australia and Asosa, Ethiopia:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Perth Airport (PER), Perth, Western Australia, Australia and Asosa Airport (ASO), Asosa, Ethiopia would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,087 miles (or 9,796 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 Perth Airport and Asosa 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 Perth Airport and Asosa Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• It was at this time the airport began to experience the full effects of the jet age.
• In the late 1980s the Federal Government, as a prelude to eventual privatisation, formed the Federal Airports Corporation.

• The furthest airport from Perth Airport (PER) is L.F. Wade International Airport (BDA), which is nearly antipodal to Perth Airport (meaning Perth Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from L.F. Wade International Airport), and is located 12,389 miles (19,938 kilometers) away in Ferry Reach (near Hamilton), Bermuda.
