About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Bamenda Airport (BPC), Bamenda, Cameroon and Orléans - Bricy Air Base (ORE), Orléans, France would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,940 miles (or 4,731 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 Bamenda Airport and Orléans - Bricy Air Base, 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 Bamenda Airport and Orléans - Bricy Air Base. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Bamenda Airport (BPC):

  • The furthest airport from Bamenda Airport (BPC) is Canton Island Airport (CIS), which is nearly antipodal to Bamenda Airport (meaning Bamenda Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Canton Island Airport), and is located 12,178 miles (19,599 kilometers) away in Canton Island, Kiribati.
  • The closest airport to Bamenda Airport (BPC) is Bali Airport (BAJ), which is located only 12 miles (19 kilometers) SSW of BPC.
  • Bamenda Airport (BPC) currently has only 1 runway.
  • Because of Bamenda Airport's high elevation of 4,065 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at BPC. Combined with a high temperature, this could make BPC a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
