About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Çorlu Airport (TEQ), Tekirdag, Turkey and Minden-Tahoe Airport (MEV), Minden, Nevada, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,538 miles (or 10,521 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 Çorlu Airport and Minden-Tahoe 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 Çorlu Airport and Minden-Tahoe Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Çorlu Airport (TEQ):
- The closest airport to Çorlu Airport (TEQ) is Istanbul Atatürk Airport (IST), which is located 48 miles (77 kilometers) ESE of TEQ.
- Çorlu Airport (TEQ) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Çorlu Airport's relatively low elevation of 574 feet, planes can take off or land at Çorlu 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.
- In addition to being known as "Çorlu Airport", another name for TEQ is "Çorlu Havalimanı".
- The furthest airport from Çorlu Airport (TEQ) is Chatham Islands (CHT), which is located 11,186 miles (18,001 kilometers) away in Waitangi, Chatham Islands, New Zealand.

- The airport is considered a mecca for soaring, and many North American and world records have been flown out of Minden in the many gliders that it hosts.
