About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Bunbury Airport (BUY), Bunbury, Western Australia, Australia and Razer Airport (KUR), Kron Monjan (Karanomunjan), Afghanistan would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,603 miles (or 9,017 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 Bunbury Airport and Razer 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 Bunbury Airport and Razer Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Bunbury Airport is an airport servicing the Western Australian city of Bunbury.
- The closest airport to Bunbury Airport (BUY) is Busselton Regional Airport (BQB), which is located 27 miles (43 kilometers) SW of BUY.
- Because of Bunbury Airport's relatively low elevation of 53 feet, planes can take off or land at Bunbury 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.
- Bunbury Airport (BUY) currently has only 1 runway.
- In addition to being known as "Bunbury Airport", another name for BUY is "Bunbury City Airport".
- In 2009, the airport received funding through the Western Australian Government's Regional Airports Development Scheme to extend the parallel taxiway by 700 m so arriving aircraft would no longer be required to turn around and taxi on the active runway to reach the apron area.
