About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Baia Mare Airport (BAY), Baia Mare, Romania and Kuvumu Airport (BKY), Bukavu, Democratic Republic of the Congo would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,467 miles (or 5,580 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 Baia Mare Airport and Kuvumu 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 Baia Mare Airport and Kuvumu Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Baia Mare Airport (BAY):

  • Baia Mare Airport handled 16,798 passengers last year.
  • Baia Mare Airport (BAY) currently has only 1 runway.
  • Because of Baia Mare Airport's relatively low elevation of 605 feet, planes can take off or land at Baia Mare 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.
  • The furthest airport from Baia Mare Airport (BAY) is Chatham Islands (CHT), which is located 11,443 miles (18,416 kilometers) away in Waitangi, Chatham Islands, New Zealand.

Facts about Kuvumu Airport (BKY):

  • Kuvumu Airport (BKY) currently has only 1 runway.
  • The closest airport to Kuvumu Airport (BKY) is Goma Airport (GOM), which is located 53 miles (86 kilometers) NE of BKY.

  • In addition to being known as "Kuvumu Airport", other names for BKY include "Bukavu Kuvumu Airport" and "Kuvumu Airport (Bukavu)".
  • Because of Kuvumu Airport's high elevation of 5,643 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at BKY. Combined with a high temperature, this could make BKY a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
