Nonstop flight route between Phetchabun, Thailand and Eureka, Nevada, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Phetchabun Airport (PHY), Phetchabun, Thailand and Eureka Airport (EUE), Eureka, Nevada, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,869 miles (or 12,664 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 Phetchabun Airport and Eureka 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 Phetchabun Airport and Eureka Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Phetchabun Airport (PHY) currently has only 1 runway.
• The closest airport to Phetchabun Airport (PHY) is Loei Airport (LOE), which is located 63 miles (102 kilometers) NNE of PHY.
• Because of Phetchabun Airport's relatively low elevation of 450 feet, planes can take off or land at Phetchabun 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 furthest airport from Phetchabun Airport (PHY) is Capitán FAP Renán Elías Olivera International Airport (PIO), which is nearly antipodal to Phetchabun Airport (meaning Phetchabun Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Capitán FAP Renán Elías Olivera International Airport), and is located 12,171 miles (19,587 kilometers) away in Pisco, Peru.
