About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Shepparton Airport (SHT), Shepparton, Victoria, Australia and Aiyura Airport (AYU), Aiyura, Papua New Guinea would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,079 miles (or 3,346 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 Shepparton Airport and Aiyura Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Shepparton Airport (SHT):
- The closest airport to Shepparton Airport (SHT) is Benalla Airport (BLN), which is located 35 miles (57 kilometers) ESE of SHT.
- The furthest airport from Shepparton Airport (SHT) is Flores Airport (FLW), which is nearly antipodal to Shepparton Airport (meaning Shepparton Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Flores Airport), and is located 12,155 miles (19,561 kilometers) away in Flores Island, Azores, Portugal.
- Shepparton Airport (SHT) has 2 runways.
- Because of Shepparton Airport's relatively low elevation of 374 feet, planes can take off or land at Shepparton 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.

- Aiyura Airport (AYU) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Aiyura Airport (AYU) is Governador Carlos Wilson Airport (FEN), which is located 11,723 miles (18,867 kilometers) away in Fernando de Noronha, Pernambuco, Brazil.
- Because of Aiyura Airport's high elevation of 5,100 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at AYU. Combined with a high temperature, this could make AYU a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The closest airport to Aiyura Airport (AYU) is Gusap Airport (GAP), which is located 20 miles (32 kilometers) N of AYU.
