Nonstop flight route between Apolo, La Paz, Bolivia and Georgetown, Guyana:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Apolo Airport (APB), Apolo, La Paz, Bolivia and Cheddi Jagan International Airport (GEO), Georgetown, Guyana would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,628 miles (or 2,620 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 Apolo Airport and Cheddi Jagan International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Apolo Airport (APB):

• In addition to being known as "Apolo Airport", another name for APB is "Apolo Airport (Apolo)".
• Because of Apolo Airport's high elevation of 4,642 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at APB. Combined with a high temperature, this could make APB a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The furthest airport from Apolo Airport (APB) is Phu Cat Airport (UIH), which is nearly antipodal to Apolo Airport (meaning Apolo Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Phu Cat Airport), and is located 12,254 miles (19,720 kilometers) away in Qui Nhơn, Binh Dinh, Vietnam.
• Apolo Airport (APB) currently has only 1 runway.
• The closest airport to Apolo Airport (APB) is Rurrenabaque Airport (RBQ), which is located 64 miles (103 kilometers) ENE of APB.
