About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Whangarei Airport (WRE), Whangarei, New Zealand and Nioro Airport (NIX), Nioro, Mali would travel a Great Circle distance of 10,998 miles (or 17,699 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 Whangarei Airport and Nioro 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 Whangarei Airport and Nioro Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Whangarei Airport (WRE):

  • The change in aircraft type restored capacity to 136,656 seats available on Air New Zealand per year.

  • There are also several private aircraft hangars situated around the airport, including one that previously housed a Aero L-29 Delfín jet in 2008.
  • Because of Whangarei Airport's relatively low elevation of 133 feet, planes can take off or land at Whangarei Airport at a lower air speed than at airports located at a higher elevation.

  • The closest airport to Whangarei Airport (WRE) is Dargaville Aerodrome (DGR), which is located 29 miles (47 kilometers) WSW of WRE.
