About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Apolo Airport (APB), Apolo, La Paz, Bolivia and Gaza Airstrip/Gush Katif Airport (GHK), Gush Katif, Israel would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,483 miles (or 12,043 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 Apolo Airport and Gaza Airstrip/Gush Katif 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 Apolo Airport and Gaza Airstrip/Gush Katif Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Apolo Airport (APB):

  • 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.
  • 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 closest airport to Apolo Airport (APB) is Rurrenabaque Airport (RBQ), which is located 64 miles (103 kilometers) ENE of APB.
  • In addition to being known as "Apolo Airport", another name for APB is "Apolo Airport (Apolo)".
  • Apolo Airport (APB) currently has only 1 runway.

Facts about Gaza Airstrip/Gush Katif Airport (GHK):

  • Following the destruction of the runway of Gaza Airport in 2002, Gaza Airstrip is the only remaining runway in the Gaza Strip.
  • The closest airport to Gaza Airstrip/Gush Katif Airport (GHK) is Yasser Arafat International Airport (CLOSED) (GZA), which is located only 8 miles (14 kilometers) S of GHK.
  • The furthest airport from Gaza Airstrip/Gush Katif Airport (GHK) is Rurutu Airport (RUR), which is located 11,728 miles (18,874 kilometers) away in Rurutu, French Polynesia.
  • Gaza Airstrip/Gush Katif Airport (GHK) currently has only 1 runway.
  • After the 1948 Palestinian exodus 35,000 refugees took shelter in a camp to the south of the present day airfield.
  • During the Second World War RAF Gaza was used by a number of RAF squadrons, including 33, 45, 127, 208, 318 and 451.
  • Because of Gaza Airstrip/Gush Katif Airport's relatively low elevation of 107 feet, planes can take off or land at Gaza Airstrip/Gush Katif 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.
