About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Tallinn Airport (TLL), Tallinn, Estonia and Chelinda Airport (CEH), Chelinda, Malawi would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,861 miles (or 7,823 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 Tallinn Airport and Chelinda 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 Tallinn Airport and Chelinda Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Tallinn Airport (TLL):
- Tallinn Airport (TLL) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Tallinn Airport's relatively low elevation of 131 feet, planes can take off or land at Tallinn 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 "Tallinn Airport", another name for TLL is "Tallinna lennujaam".
- On 20 March 2013 the airport authorities announced a public procurement for constructing a new hangar complex.
- The name change was discussed at a board meeting on 29 March 2006, and on the opening of the new terminal on 19 September 2008, Prime Minister Andrus Ansip officially announced the renaming would take place in March 2009
