About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Yining Airport (YIN), Yining, Xinjiang, China and Launceston Airport (LST), Launceston, Tasmania, Australia would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,179 miles (or 11,553 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 Yining Airport and Launceston 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 Yining Airport and Launceston Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

  • In 1962 under the leadership of Tony John OAM, a plan for major redevelopment of the airport was approved.
  • Because of Launceston Airport's relatively low elevation of 562 feet, planes can take off or land at Launceston 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.
