Nonstop flight route between Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada and Bangkok, Thailand:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Fort McMurray International Airport (YMM), Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada and Suvarnabhumi Airport (NBK), Bangkok, Thailand would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,240 miles (or 11,652 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 Fort McMurray International Airport and Suvarnabhumi 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 Fort McMurray International Airport and Suvarnabhumi Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Further investigations found that taxilane and taxiway rutting was caused by separation of the asphalt binder from the aggregate surface due to prolonged water infiltration into the asphalt concrete base course, a phenomenon known as "stripping." The 23-centimetre thick base course is the top-most layer of the tarmac.
