About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Jorge Newbery Airfield (AEP), Buenos Aires, Argentina and Dêqên Shangri-La Airport (DIG), Shangri-La, Yunnan, China would travel a Great Circle distance of 11,064 miles (or 17,805 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 Jorge Newbery Airfield and Dêqên Shangri-La 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 Jorge Newbery Airfield and Dêqên Shangri-La Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- The closest airport to Jorge Newbery Airfield (AEP) is San Fernando Airport (FDO), which is located only 12 miles (20 kilometers) NW of AEP.
- Because of Jorge Newbery Airfield's relatively low elevation of 18 feet, planes can take off or land at Jorge Newbery Airfield 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 airport was originally proposed by Mayor Carlos Noël in 1925.
