About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Vinh Airport (VII), Vinh, Nghe An, Vietnam and Guangyuan Airport (GYS), Guangyuan, Sichuan, China would travel a Great Circle distance of 943 miles (or 1,518 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 relatively short distance between Vinh Airport and Guangyuan Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Vinh Airport (VII):

- The closest airport to Vinh Airport (VII) is Tho Xuan Airport (THD), which is located 82 miles (131 kilometers) N of VII.
- Because of Vinh Airport's relatively low elevation of 20 feet, planes can take off or land at Vinh 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 "Vinh Airport", another name for VII is "Sân bay Vinh".

- The closest airport to Guangyuan Airport (GYS) is Mianyang Nanjiao Airport (MIG), which is located 87 miles (140 kilometers) SW of GYS.
