About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Yangzhou Taizhou Airport (YTY), Yangzhou and Taizhou, Jiangsu, China and Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH), Windhoek, Namibia would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,724 miles (or 12,430 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 Yangzhou Taizhou Airport and Hosea Kutako International 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 Yangzhou Taizhou Airport and Hosea Kutako International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Yangzhou Taizhou Airport (YTY):
- The closest airport to Yangzhou Taizhou Airport (YTY) is Changzhou Benniu Airport (CZX), which is located 46 miles (74 kilometers) S of YTY.
- Because of Yangzhou Taizhou Airport's relatively low elevation of 7 feet, planes can take off or land at Yangzhou Taizhou 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 "Yangzhou Taizhou Airport", other names for YTY include "扬州泰州机场" and "Yángzhōu Tàizhōu Jīchǎng".
- The furthest airport from Yangzhou Taizhou Airport (YTY) is Rosario – Islas Malvinas International Airport (ROS), which is nearly antipodal to Yangzhou Taizhou Airport (meaning Yangzhou Taizhou Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Rosario – Islas Malvinas International Airport), and is located 12,399 miles (19,955 kilometers) away in Rosario, Argentina.

Facts about Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH):
- Because of Hosea Kutako International Airport's high elevation of 5,640 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at WDH. Combined with a high temperature, this could make WDH a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
