Nonstop flight route between Johannesburg, South Africa and Deniliquin, New South Wales, Australia:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Rand Airport (QRA), Johannesburg, South Africa and Deniliquin Airport (DNQ), Deniliquin, New South Wales, Australia would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,503 miles (or 10,465 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 Rand Airport and Deniliquin 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 Rand Airport and Deniliquin Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Rand Airport is notorious for its hot and high conditions and relatively short runways.
• South African Airways donated two Boeing 747s to the "South African Airways Museum Society" which are on display at the airport.
• Boeing 747SP at the South African Airways Museum Society situated near the threshold of Runway 29.
