Nonstop flight route between Ta'izz, Yemen and Golubovci (near Podgorica), Montenegro:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Ta'izz International Airport (TAI), Ta'izz, Yemen and Podgorica Airport (TGD), Golubovci (near Podgorica), Montenegro would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,476 miles (or 3,985 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 Ta'izz International Airport and Podgorica Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

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.
• 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.
