About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Providenciales International Airport (PLS), Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands and Arusha Airport (ARK), Arusha, Tanzania would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,516 miles (or 12,095 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 Providenciales International Airport and Arusha 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 Providenciales International Airport and Arusha Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Providenciales International Airport (PLS):

  • Because of Providenciales International Airport's relatively low elevation of 15 feet, planes can take off or land at Providenciales International Airport at a lower air speed than at airports located at a higher elevation.
