About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Battambang Airport (BBM), Battambang, Cambodia and Southdowns Airport (KIW), Kitwe, Zambia would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,446 miles (or 8,764 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 Battambang Airport and Southdowns 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 Battambang Airport and Southdowns Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Battambang Airport (BBM):
- Battambang Airport (BBM) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Battambang Airport (BBM) is Capitán FAP Renán Elías Olivera International Airport (PIO), which is nearly antipodal to Battambang Airport (meaning Battambang Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Capitán FAP Renán Elías Olivera International Airport), and is located 12,378 miles (19,921 kilometers) away in Pisco, Peru.
- Because of Battambang Airport's relatively low elevation of 59 feet, planes can take off or land at Battambang 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 closest airport to Battambang Airport (BBM) is Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport (REP), which is located 45 miles (73 kilometers) ENE of BBM.
Facts about Southdowns Airport (KIW):
- Southdowns Airport (KIW) currently has only 1 runway.
- The closest airport to Southdowns Airport (KIW) is Kasompe Airport (CGJ), which is located 28 miles (46 kilometers) NW of KIW.
- Because of Southdowns Airport's high elevation of 4,145 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at KIW. Combined with a high temperature, this could make KIW a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The furthest airport from Southdowns Airport (KIW) is Hilo International Airport (ITO), which is located 11,920 miles (19,184 kilometers) away in Hilo, Hawaii, United States.
