About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Baise Bama Airport (AEB), Baise, Guangxi, China and Chimbu Airport (CMU), Kundiawa, Papua New Guinea would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,284 miles (or 5,286 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 Baise Bama Airport and Chimbu 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 Baise Bama Airport and Chimbu Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Baise Bama Airport (AEB):
- Because of Baise Bama Airport's relatively low elevation of 148 feet, planes can take off or land at Baise Bama 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.
- The closest airport to Baise Bama Airport (AEB) is Hechi Jinchengjiang Airport (HCJ), which is located 87 miles (140 kilometers) NNE of AEB.
