About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Yichun Mingyueshan Airport (YIC), Yichun, Jiangxi, China and Bathpalathang Airport (BUT), Jakar, Bumthang, Bhutan would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,439 miles (or 2,317 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 relatively short distance between Yichun Mingyueshan Airport and Bathpalathang Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Yichun Mingyueshan Airport (YIC):
- Because of Yichun Mingyueshan Airport's relatively low elevation of 131 feet, planes can take off or land at Yichun Mingyueshan 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 Yichun Mingyueshan Airport (YIC) is Coronel Felipe Varela International Airport (CTC), which is nearly antipodal to Yichun Mingyueshan Airport (meaning Yichun Mingyueshan Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Coronel Felipe Varela International Airport), and is located 12,382 miles (19,927 kilometers) away in Catamarca, Catamarca, Argentina.
- In addition to being known as "Yichun Mingyueshan Airport", other names for YIC include "宜春明月山机场", "Yíchūn Míngyuèshān Jīchǎng" and "ZSYC".
