Nonstop flight route between Perth, Western Australia, Australia and Sivas, Turkey:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Perth Airport (PER), Perth, Western Australia, Australia and Sivas Nuri Demirağ Airport (VAS), Sivas, Turkey would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,070 miles (or 11,378 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 Sivas Nuri Demirağ 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 Sivas Nuri Demirağ Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Perth Airport handled 13,664,394 passengers last year.
• 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.
• The closest airport to Perth Airport (PER) is Jandakot Airport (JAD), which is located only 12 miles (19 kilometers) SSW of PER.
• 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.
• 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.
• Perth Airport (PER) has 2 runways.
• Towards the mid-1950s, airline travel was still only being used by a small percentage of the population.
• 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.
• Site selection and preparation of the original plans was undertaken by Mr N M Fricker of the Department of Civil Aviation.
• In the late 1980s the Federal Government, as a prelude to eventual privatisation, formed the Federal Airports Corporation.

Combined with a high temperature, this could make VAS a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The furthest airport from Sivas Nuri Demirağ Airport (VAS) is Totegegie Airport (GMR), which is located 11,191 miles (18,009 kilometers) away in Mangareva, Gambier Islands, French Polynesia.
