About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Málaga Airport (AGP), Málaga, Spain and Goma Airport (GOM), Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,421 miles (or 5,506 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 Málaga Airport and Goma 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 Málaga Airport and Goma Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Málaga Airport (AGP) has 2 runways.
- The furthest airport from Málaga Airport (AGP) is Coromandel Aerodrome (CMV), which is nearly antipodal to Málaga Airport (meaning Málaga Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Coromandel Aerodrome), and is located 12,429 miles (20,002 kilometers) away in Coromandel, New Zealand.
- In addition to being known as "Málaga Airport", another name for AGP is "Aeropuerto de Malaga".

- The terminal is due to be refurbished, and has received new check-in desks, along with a new baggage reclaim carousel.
- Because of Málaga Airport's relatively low elevation of 52 feet, planes can take off or land at Málaga 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.
- Málaga Airport handled 12,922,403 passengers last year.
- Málaga Airport has three terminals, adjacent to each other.
- In 2004 the "Málaga Plan" was started, including ideas for construction of a new terminal, and a new runway.

- Initially built with a paved 3 km runway and a large terminal and apron, the airport has not recovered from the 2002 eruption of the volcano Nyiragongo, 14 km to the north.
- Because of Goma Airport's high elevation of 5,089 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at GOM. Combined with a high temperature, this could make GOM a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The furthest airport from Goma Airport (GOM) is Cassidy International Airport (CXI), which is located 11,981 miles (19,282 kilometers) away in Christmas Island, Kiribati.
