About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Whatì Airport (YLE), Lac La Martre, Northwest Territories, Canada and Kharkhorin Airport (KHR), Kharkhorin, Mongolia would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,501 miles (or 7,244 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 Whatì Airport and Kharkhorin 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 Whatì Airport and Kharkhorin Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Whatì Airport (YLE):
- Whatì Airport (YLE) currently has only 1 runway.
 - The closest airport to Whatì Airport (YLE) is Gamèti/Rae Lakes Airport (YRA), which is located 68 miles (110 kilometers) N of YLE.
 - The furthest airport from Whatì Airport (YLE) is Port Alfred Airport (AFD), which is located 9,878 miles (15,897 kilometers) away in Port Alfred, South Africa.
 - Because of Whatì Airport's relatively low elevation of 882 feet, planes can take off or land at Whatì 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.
 - In addition to being known as "Whatì Airport", another name for YLE is "CEM3".
 
Facts about Kharkhorin Airport (KHR):
- The closest airport to Kharkhorin Airport (KHR) is Khujirt Airport (HJT), which is located 24 miles (39 kilometers) S of KHR.
 - Kharkhorin Airport (KHR) currently has only 1 runway.
 - Because of Kharkhorin Airport's high elevation of 4,759 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at KHR. Combined with a high temperature, this could make KHR a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
 - The furthest airport from Kharkhorin Airport (KHR) is Cochrane Airfield (LGR), which is nearly antipodal to Kharkhorin Airport (meaning Kharkhorin Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Cochrane Airfield), and is located 12,222 miles (19,669 kilometers) away in Cochrane, Chile.
