Data study — computed from our own files
Longest flights from 14 hub airports
Pick a departure hub from the 14 below: for each we measure the great-circle distance to every one of the 97 network airports and rank them, with block-time estimates from our published model.

How the numbers are computed
- Distance: haversine formula between airport coordinates (src/lib/geo.ts) over a 97-airport registry — no schedules, no external sources.
- Duration: published geometric estimate = (km ÷ 850 km/h) × 60 + a 35-minute taxi/climb allowance.
- Each hub page shows two tables: the 20 farthest destinations, then the 5 shortest hops for contrast, with a flight-time calculator link when it exists in the catalog.
