About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Townsville Airport (TSV), Townsville, Queensland, Australia and Bulgan Airport (UGA), Bulgan, Mongolia would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,405 miles (or 8,699 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 Townsville Airport and Bulgan 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 Townsville Airport and Bulgan Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Because of Bulgan Airport's high elevation of 4,236 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at UGA. Combined with a high temperature, this could make UGA a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Bulgan Airport (UGA) currently has only 1 runway.
