About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Port Sudan New International Airport (PZU), Port Sudan, Sudan and Altai Airport (LTI), Altai, Govi-Altai, Mongolia would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,788 miles (or 6,096 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 Port Sudan New International Airport and Altai 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 Port Sudan New International Airport and Altai Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Port Sudan New International Airport (PZU):
- Port Sudan New International Airport (PZU) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Port Sudan New International Airport's relatively low elevation of 141 feet, planes can take off or land at Port Sudan New 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.
- The closest airport to Port Sudan New International Airport (PZU) is King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED), which is located 199 miles (320 kilometers) NE of PZU.
- The furthest airport from Port Sudan New International Airport (PZU) is Hao Airport (HOI), which is nearly antipodal to Port Sudan New International Airport (meaning Port Sudan New International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Hao Airport), and is located 12,285 miles (19,771 kilometers) away in Hao, Tuamotu Island, French Polynesia.
