About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Pico Airport (PIX), Pico Island, Azores, Portugal and Ta'izz International Airport (TAI), Ta'izz, Yemen would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,697 miles (or 7,559 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 Pico Airport and Ta'izz 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 Pico Airport and Ta'izz International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Pico Airport (PIX):
- The airport on Pico is situated 8 kilometres from the urban center of Madalena, at an altitude of 34 metres above sea level.
- The furthest airport from Pico Airport (PIX) is Merimbula Airport (MIM), which is nearly antipodal to Pico Airport (meaning Pico Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Merimbula Airport), and is located 12,291 miles (19,781 kilometers) away in Merimbula, New South Wales, Australia.
- Pico Airport (PIX) currently has only 1 runway.
- In addition to being known as "Pico Airport", another name for PIX is "Aeroporto do Pico".
- The closest airport to Pico Airport (PIX) is Horta International Airport (HOR), which is located only 15 miles (24 kilometers) W of PIX.
- Because of Pico Airport's relatively low elevation of 112 feet, planes can take off or land at Pico 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.
Facts about Ta'izz International Airport (TAI):
- The furthest airport from Ta'izz International Airport (TAI) is Pukarua Airport (PUK), which is nearly antipodal to Ta'izz International Airport (meaning Ta'izz International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Pukarua Airport), and is located 12,109 miles (19,488 kilometers) away in Pukarua, Tuamotus, French Polynesia.
- Ta'izz International Airport (TAI) currently has only 1 runway.
- The closest airport to Ta'izz International Airport (TAI) is Aden International Airport (ADE), which is located 84 miles (135 kilometers) SE of TAI.
- Because of Ta'izz International Airport's high elevation of 4,838 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at TAI. Combined with a high temperature, this could make TAI a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
