Nonstop flight route between Perth, Western Australia, Australia and Nema, Mauritania:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Perth Airport (PER), Perth, Western Australia, Australia and Néma Airport (EMN), Nema, Mauritania would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,754 miles (or 14,088 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 Néma 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 Néma Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Perth Airport (PER):

• The domestic and international terminals are located separately, 11 km apart, and connected by a road – Dunreath Drive – an internal road connection within the airport boundaries.
• From 1962 onwards, both the domestic and international passenger operations at the airport were provided by a single terminal.
• The move was agreed to by the government of the day, as the larger types of aircraft of the day being operated by the two airlines could simply not be handled at Maylands, notwithstanding the small grass airfield, lack of passenger facilities, and approaches being difficult due to surrounding industrial infrastructure.
• Perth Airport handled 13,664,394 passengers last year.
• Because of Perth Airport's relatively low elevation of 67 feet, planes can take off or land at Perth 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.
