About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Bermejo Airport (BJO), Bermejo, Bolivia and Shun Tak Heliport (HHP), Sheung Wan, China would travel a Great Circle distance of 12,333 miles (or 19,848 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 Bermejo Airport and Shun Tak Heliport, 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 Bermejo Airport and Shun Tak Heliport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!
The distance between BJO and HHP makes them almost exactly antipodal (the exact opposite side of the world) to each other. Nonstop flights between Bermejo Airport and Shun Tak Heliport would be very impractical for the airlines, because only a lightly loaded Boeing 777-200LR would be able to make the trip. Since airlines need to be able to take as many people and cargo as possible in order to make a profit, the odds of ever seeing a nonstop flight between BJO and HHP are slim to none. However, you'll still be able to get from Bermejo, Bolivia and Sheung Wan, China by taking some connecting flights!
Did you know that one full circling of the Earth (measuring from the equator) is about 24,901.5 miles (or 40,075 kilometers), which means if you were 12,450 miles from any given point on the planet, the distance back to your starting point would be about the same -- in any direction! The same can be said for a nonstop flight between BJO and HHP!

Facts about Shun Tak Heliport (HHP):
- Ferry services are provided to Macau by two companies, both of which use a variety of designs of fast ferries, including catamarans and Boeing Jetfoils.
- The original heliport at the Hong Kong–Macau Ferry Terminal was built in 1990, and provided a single helipad situated over the western end of the inner pier.
- The terminal is one of the several in Hong Kong that provide ferry services to Macau and cities in southern China.
- Macau based Sky Shuttle Helicopters use the heliport to provide a scheduled service to a corresponding heliport above the Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal in Macau.
- Because of Shun Tak Heliport's relatively low elevation of 107 feet, planes can take off or land at Shun Tak Heliport 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.
- Apart from ferry and helicopter, the ferry terminal is a public transport hub to various parts of Hong Kong.
