About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Wales Airport (WAA), Wales, Alaska, United States and Asosa Airport (ASO), Asosa, Ethiopia would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,083 miles (or 11,398 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 Wales Airport and Asosa 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 Wales Airport and Asosa Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

  • Wales Airport (WAA) currently has only 1 runway.
  • In addition to being known as "Wales Airport", another name for WAA is "IWK".
  • Because of Wales Airport's relatively low elevation of 22 feet, planes can take off or land at Wales 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.
  • The furthest airport from Wales Airport (WAA) is Teniente Rodolfo Marsh Airport (TNM), which is located 10,385 miles (16,713 kilometers) away in Villa Las Estrellas, Antarctica.

Facts about Asosa Airport (ASO):

  • Asosa Airport (ASO) currently has only 1 runway.
  • The closest airport to Asosa Airport (ASO) is Beica Airport (BEI), which is located 44 miles (70 kilometers) S of ASO.
