Frequently asked questions

How is the flight distance calculated?

We use the Haversine formula on a spherical Earth (mean radius 6,371.0088 km). It gives the shortest path over the surface — the great-circle distance. Real flight paths are usually a few percent longer because of airways, winds and air-traffic control.

Are the airports listed real?

Yes. Every airport page is generated from the OurAirports open dataset and only includes airports that have an IATA code and are marked as having scheduled service. We do not add demo or invented records.

Does FlyingWorld show live flights?

No. FlyingWorld is a reference site. It does not show live flight status, schedules or prices, and route calculations do not mean that an airline operates that route.
