About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Ta'izz International Airport (TAI), Ta'izz, Yemen and Miyazaki Airport (KMI), Miyazaki, Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,568 miles (or 8,960 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 Ta'izz International Airport and Miyazaki 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 Ta'izz International Airport and Miyazaki Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Ta'izz International Airport (TAI):
- Because of Ta'izz International Airport's high elevation of 4,838 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at TAI. Combined with a high temperature, this could make TAI a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Ta'izz International Airport (TAI) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Ta'izz International Airport (TAI) is Pukarua Airport (PUK), which is nearly antipodal to Ta'izz International Airport (meaning Ta'izz International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Pukarua Airport), and is located 12,109 miles (19,488 kilometers) away in Pukarua, Tuamotus, French Polynesia.
- The closest airport to Ta'izz International Airport (TAI) is Aden International Airport (ADE), which is located 84 miles (135 kilometers) SE of TAI.
Facts about Miyazaki Airport (KMI):
- The furthest airport from Miyazaki Airport (KMI) is Salgado Filho International Airport (POA), which is nearly antipodal to Miyazaki Airport (meaning Miyazaki Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Salgado Filho International Airport), and is located 12,234 miles (19,689 kilometers) away in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
- On October 1969, All Nippon Airways Flight 104 overran a runway at Miyazaki Airport by 132 metres.
- Miyazaki Airport (KMI) currently has only 1 runway.
- In addition to being known as "Miyazaki Airport", another name for KMI is "宮崎空港".
- The closest airport to Miyazaki Airport (KMI) is Kagoshima Airport (KOJ), which is located 43 miles (70 kilometers) W of KMI.
- Because of Miyazaki Airport's relatively low elevation of 19 feet, planes can take off or land at Miyazaki 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.
- Link Airs, a Fukuoka-based regional airline startup, plans to begin service to the airport in 2014.
