Nonstop flight route between Alxa Right Banner, Inner Mongolia, China and Taipei City, Taiwan, Republic of China:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Alxa Right Banner Badanjilin Airport (RHT), Alxa Right Banner, Inner Mongolia, China and Taipei International Airport (Taipei Songshan Airport) (TSA), Taipei City, Taiwan, Republic of China would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,514 miles (or 2,437 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 relatively short distance between Alxa Right Banner Badanjilin Airport and Taipei International Airport (Taipei Songshan Airport), the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
