Nonstop flight route between Tivat, Montenegro and Harare, Zimbabwe:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Tivat Airport (TIV), Tivat, Montenegro and Harare International Airport (HRE), Harare, Zimbabwe would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,243 miles (or 6,828 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 Tivat Airport and Harare 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 Tivat Airport and Harare International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Tivat airport is located right next to the city of Tivat, 7 km from the center of Kotor, and some 19 km north-west of Budva, one of the most popular tourist destinations on the eastern Adriatic coast.
• Because of Tivat Airport's relatively low elevation of 20 feet, planes can take off or land at Tivat 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.

Facts about Harare International Airport (HRE):

• Harare International Airport (HRE) currently has only 1 runway.
• The closest airport to Harare International Airport (HRE) is Mutare Airport (UTA), which is located 125 miles (201 kilometers) SE of HRE.
• The runway is used by both the civilian airport and the Air Force of Zimbabwe whose base is on the southern side of the runway.

• The furthest airport from Harare International Airport (HRE) is Hilo International Airport (ITO), which is nearly antipodal to Harare International Airport (meaning Harare International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Hilo International Airport), and is located 12,017 miles (19,339 kilometers) away in Hilo, Hawaii, United States.
• Because of Harare International Airport's high elevation of 4,887 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at HRE. Combined with a high temperature, this could make HRE a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• A site therefore had to be found for the construction of an airport that would be safer and more suitable for commercial activities.
