About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Phaplu Airport (PPL), Phaplu, Nepal and Diomício Freitas/Forquilhinha Airport (CCM), Criciúma, Santa Catarina, Brazil would travel a Great Circle distance of 9,770 miles (or 15,723 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 Phaplu Airport and Diomício Freitas/Forquilhinha 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 Phaplu Airport and Diomício Freitas/Forquilhinha Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Phaplu Airport (PPL):

  • Because of Phaplu Airport's high elevation of 7,918 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at PPL. Combined with a high temperature, this could make PPL a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
  • The closest airport to Phaplu Airport (PPL) is Tenzing-Hillary Airport (LUA), which is located only 15 miles (24 kilometers) NE of PPL.
