About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Yecheon Air Base (YEC), Yecheon, South Korea and Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), Paris, France would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,653 miles (or 9,097 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 Yecheon Air Base and Paris Charles de Gaulle 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 Yecheon Air Base and Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Curbelo International Airport (PDP), which is nearly antipodal to Yecheon Air Base (meaning Yecheon Air Base is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Capitán de Corbeta Carlos A.

- Because of Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport's relatively low elevation of 392 feet, planes can take off or land at Paris Charles de Gaulle 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.

- Andreu initially had envisaged building several terminals on this model.
