Nonstop flight route between Aribinda, Burkina Faso and Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Aribinda Airport (XAR), Aribinda, Burkina Faso and CFB Moose Jaw (YMJ), Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,090 miles (or 9,801 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 Aribinda Airport and CFB Moose Jaw, 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 Aribinda Airport and CFB Moose Jaw. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!
