About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Blackbushe Airport (BBS), Yateley, Hampshire, England, United Kingdom and Fane Airport (FNE), Fane, Papua New Guinea would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,967 miles (or 14,430 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 Blackbushe Airport and Fane 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 Blackbushe Airport and Fane Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Blackbushe Airport (BBS):
- Overall, Blackbushe Airport is very significant in the UK's aviation history.
- It is one of several airfields eclipsed since 1958 by the growth of London Heathrow Airport and London Gatwick Airport.
- Blackbushe Airport (BBS) currently has only 1 runway.
- Overseas-based charter airlines often used Blackbushe for their flight to the UK, normally finding that the airfield was open for operations, even when other airports in the London area were closed by fog.
- Because of Blackbushe Airport's relatively low elevation of 325 feet, planes can take off or land at Blackbushe 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 Blackbushe Airport (BBS) is Dunedin International Airport (DUD), which is located 11,884 miles (19,126 kilometers) away in Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand.
- As well as there being plane accidents, there have been many fires within the forests, some natural, others, man made.
- The closest airport to Blackbushe Airport (BBS) is Farnborough Airport (FAB), which is located only 5 miles (7 kilometers) SE of BBS.
- Later, British Car Auctions took over the airport and developed it as a centre of private, business and executive aviation.
Facts about Fane Airport (FNE):
- Fane Airport (FNE) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Fane Airport (FNE) is São Filipe Airport (SFL), which is located 11,718 miles (18,858 kilometers) away in Fogo, Cape Verde.
- Because of Fane Airport's high elevation of 4,300 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at FNE. Combined with a high temperature, this could make FNE a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The closest airport to Fane Airport (FNE) is Kokoda Airport (KKD), which is located 50 miles (80 kilometers) ESE of FNE.
