About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Fa'a'ā International Airport (PPT), Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia and Brigham City Airport (BMC), Brigham City, Utah, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,737 miles (or 7,623 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 Fa'a'ā International Airport and Brigham City 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 Fa'a'ā International Airport and Brigham City Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Fa'a'ā International Airport (PPT):
- Fa'a'ā International Airport (PPT) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Fa'a'ā International Airport (PPT) is El Debba Airport (EDB), which is nearly antipodal to Fa'a'ā International Airport (meaning Fa'a'ā International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from El Debba Airport), and is located 12,387 miles (19,935 kilometers) away in El Debba (Al Dabbah), Sudan.
- Because of Fa'a'ā International Airport's relatively low elevation of 5 feet, planes can take off or land at Fa'a'ā International 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.
- Because of limited level terrain, rather than leveling large stretches of sloping agricultural land, the airport is built primarily on reclaimed land on the coral reef just off-shore.
- McDonald's is at terminal 2 and is close to the conveyor belts.
- In addition to being known as "Fa'a'ā International Airport", another name for PPT is "Aéroport International Tahiti Fa'a'ā".
- The Mahina Lounge is a small airside lounge, after the security area.
- Fa'a'ā International Airport is relatively small.

- Brigham City Airport covers an area of 254 acres at an elevation of 4,229 feet above mean sea level.
- Because of Brigham City Airport's high elevation of 4,229 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at BMC. Combined with a high temperature, this could make BMC a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
