About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Mbarara Airport (MBQ), Mbarara, Uganda and Nouna Airport (XNU), Nouna, Burkina Faso would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,534 miles (or 4,078 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 Mbarara Airport and Nouna 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 Mbarara Airport and Nouna Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- The closest airport to Mbarara Airport (MBQ) is Kasese Airport (KSE), which is located 62 miles (100 kilometers) NNW of MBQ.
- Because of Mbarara Airport's high elevation of 4,600 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at MBQ. Combined with a high temperature, this could make MBQ a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Mbarara Airport (MBQ) currently has only 1 runway.
