About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Anggi Airport (AGD), Anggi, Indonesia and Buka Island Airport (BUA), Buka Island, Papua New Guinea would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,462 miles (or 2,352 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 relatively short distance between Anggi Airport and Buka Island Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

- In addition to being known as "Anggi Airport", another name for AGD is "WASG".
- Because of Anggi Airport's high elevation of 7,054 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at AGD. Combined with a high temperature, this could make AGD a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The furthest airport from Anggi Airport (AGD) is Belém/Val de Cans–Júlio Cezar Ribeiro International Airport (BEL), which is nearly antipodal to Anggi Airport (meaning Anggi Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Belém/Val de Cans–Júlio Cezar Ribeiro International Airport), and is located 12,186 miles (19,612 kilometers) away in Belém, Pará, Brazil.
