About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Belize City Municipal Airport (TZA), Belize City, Belize and Asmara International Airport (ASM), Asmara, Eritrea would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,180 miles (or 13,165 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 Belize City Municipal Airport and Asmara 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 Belize City Municipal Airport and Asmara International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Belize City Municipal Airport (TZA):
- Because of Belize City Municipal Airport's relatively low elevation of 8 feet, planes can take off or land at Belize City Municipal 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 Asmara International Airport (ASM):
- The furthest airport from Asmara International Airport (ASM) is Fangatau Airport (FGU), which is nearly antipodal to Asmara International Airport (meaning Asmara International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Fangatau Airport), and is located 12,398 miles (19,952 kilometers) away in Fangatau, French Polynesia.

- Because of Asmara International Airport's high elevation of 7,661 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at ASM. Combined with a high temperature, this could make ASM a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The Asmara airport was created in 1922, the first such facility to be opened in Italian Eritrea.
