About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Tichitt Airport (THI), Tichitt, Mauritania and Hobart International Airport (HBA), Hobart, Tasmania, Australia would travel a Great Circle distance of 10,283 miles (or 16,549 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 Tichitt Airport and Hobart International 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 Tichitt Airport and Hobart International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Hobart International Airport was established in 1956, after a review found the nearby Cambridge Aerodrome was unsuitable for Hobart's future air transport needs.
- The international terminal was opened in 1983 to facilitate Trans-Tasman air traffic.
- Because of Hobart International Airport's relatively low elevation of 13 feet, planes can take off or land at Hobart International 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.

- The airport has purchased land from the Tasmanian Government in the southern part of the airport for future development of further operational facilities.
- The landing length required at Hobart for a Boeing 747 at maximum operational landing weight is 2,400 m, a minimum runway extension of 150 m would be beneficial to the operation of the airport.
- Hobart International Airport handled 1,855,849 passengers last year.
- The development would also provide car parking for over 2,000 cars and road works will most likely be conducted on Holyman Avenue to ensure that traffic flow into the airport itself is not affected.
