About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Bafoussam Airport (BFX), Bafoussam, Cameroon and Guayaramerín Airport (GYA), Guayaramerín, Bolivia would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,327 miles (or 8,572 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 Bafoussam Airport and Guayaramerín 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 Bafoussam Airport and Guayaramerín Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Bafoussam Airport (BFX):
- Bafoussam Airport (BFX) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Bafoussam Airport's high elevation of 4,347 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at BFX. Combined with a high temperature, this could make BFX a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The furthest airport from Bafoussam Airport (BFX) is Canton Island Airport (CIS), which is nearly antipodal to Bafoussam Airport (meaning Bafoussam Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Canton Island Airport), and is located 12,199 miles (19,632 kilometers) away in Canton Island, Kiribati.
- The closest airport to Bafoussam Airport (BFX) is Dschang Airport (DSC), which is located 21 miles (33 kilometers) WSW of BFX.
Facts about Guayaramerín Airport (GYA):
- Guayaramerín Airport (GYA) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Guayaramerín Airport (GYA) is Puerto Princesa International Airport (PPS), which is nearly antipodal to Guayaramerín Airport (meaning Guayaramerín Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Puerto Princesa International Airport), and is located 12,148 miles (19,550 kilometers) away in Puerto Princesa City, Philippines.
- The closest airport to Guayaramerín Airport (GYA) is Riberalta Airport (RIB), which is located 54 miles (87 kilometers) WSW of GYA.
- Because of Guayaramerín Airport's relatively low elevation of 557 feet, planes can take off or land at Guayaramerín 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.
