About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Ta'izz International Airport (TAI), Ta'izz, Yemen and Coles County Memorial Airport (MTO), Mattoon/Charleston, Illinois, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,657 miles (or 12,323 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 Coles County Memorial 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 Coles County Memorial 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):
- Ta'izz International Airport (TAI) currently has only 1 runway.
- 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.
- 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 Coles County Memorial Airport (MTO):
- The furthest airport from Coles County Memorial Airport (MTO) is Margaret River Airport (MGV), which is located 11,091 miles (17,849 kilometers) away in Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia.
- The closest airport to Coles County Memorial Airport (MTO) is University of Illinois Willard Airport (CMI), which is located 39 miles (62 kilometers) N of MTO.
- The airport covers 1,225 acres at an elevation of 722 feet.

- Because of Coles County Memorial Airport's relatively low elevation of 722 feet, planes can take off or land at Coles County Memorial 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.
