About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Sault Ste. Marie Airport (YAM), Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada and Muş Airport (MSR), Muş, Turkey would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,674 miles (or 9,132 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 Sault Ste. Marie Airport and Muş 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 Sault Ste. Marie Airport and Muş Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Sault Ste. Marie Airport (YAM):
- In 2010, the airport ranked 34th among Canadian airports for total number of aircraft movements, with 51,279 movements.
- Because of Sault Ste. Marie Airport's relatively low elevation of 632 feet, planes can take off or land at Sault Ste. Marie 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 Canadian government opened the airport in 1961 and operated it until 1998, when it handed control over to the newly formed Sault Ste.
- Sault Ste. Marie Airport (YAM) has 2 runways.
- The closest airport to Sault Ste. Marie Airport (YAM) is Chippewa County International Airport (CIU), which is located only 16 miles (26 kilometers) S of YAM.
- The furthest airport from Sault Ste. Marie Airport (YAM) is Margaret River Airport (MGV), which is located 11,093 miles (17,853 kilometers) away in Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia.
Facts about Muş Airport (MSR):
- Muş Airport (MSR) currently has only 1 runway.

- The furthest airport from Muş Airport (MSR) is Totegegie Airport (GMR), which is located 11,336 miles (18,243 kilometers) away in Mangareva, Gambier Islands, French Polynesia.
- Because of Muş Airport's high elevation of 4,157 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at MSR. Combined with a high temperature, this could make MSR a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
