About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), Bangkok, Thailand and Andahuaylas Airport (ANS), Andahuaylas, Peru would travel a Great Circle distance of 12,041 miles (or 19,378 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 Suvarnabhumi Airport and Andahuaylas 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 Suvarnabhumi Airport and Andahuaylas Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!
The distance between BKK and ANS makes them almost exactly antipodal (the exact opposite side of the world) to each other. Nonstop flights between Suvarnabhumi Airport and Andahuaylas Airport 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 BKK and ANS are slim to none. However, you'll still be able to get from Bangkok, Thailand and Andahuaylas, Peru 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 BKK and ANS!

Facts about Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK):
- Fifty percent of the airport's construction cost was covered by Airports of Thailand, while the another 50% was from a friendly agreement of AOT and the Japan Bank for International Cooperation.
- Because of Suvarnabhumi Airport's relatively low elevation of 5 feet, planes can take off or land at Suvarnabhumi 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.
- Suvarnabhumi Airport.
- In addition to being known as "Suvarnabhumi Airport", other names for BKK include "ท่าอากาศยานสุวรรณภูมิ" and "VTBS".
- The Engineering Institute of Thailand sent a formal warning to the AoT in November 2006 about the urgent need to drain water from beneath the tarmac, and the need for immediate action.
- A further delay was caused by the discovery that the airport had been built over an old graveyard, and superstitious construction workers claimed to have seen ghosts there.
- Suvarnabhumi Airport's main terminal's characteristic green building envelope is 100 ft high and runs throughout the perimeter for a total of 3610 ft.
- The furthest airport from Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) is Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM), which is nearly antipodal to Suvarnabhumi Airport (meaning Suvarnabhumi Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Jorge Chávez International Airport), and is located 12,252 miles (19,718 kilometers) away in Callao (near Lima), Peru.
- The closest airport to Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) is Suvarnabhumi Airport (NBK), which is located only 0 mile (0 kilometer) N of BKK.
- Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) has 2 runways.
- 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.
Facts about Andahuaylas Airport (ANS):
- Because of Andahuaylas Airport's high elevation of 11,300 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at ANS. Combined with a high temperature, this could make ANS a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The closest airport to Andahuaylas Airport (ANS) is Coronel FAP Alfredo Mendívil Duarte Airport (AYC), which is located 69 miles (111 kilometers) NW of ANS.
- Andahuaylas Airport (ANS) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Andahuaylas Airport (ANS) is Ratanakiri Airport (RBE), which is nearly antipodal to Andahuaylas Airport (meaning Andahuaylas Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Ratanakiri Airport), and is located 12,414 miles (19,979 kilometers) away in Ratanakiri, Cambodia.
