About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Bafoussam Airport (BFX), Bafoussam, Cameroon and Middleton Island Airport (MDO), Middleton Island, Alaska, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,768 miles (or 12,501 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 Middleton Island 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 Middleton Island Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

  • The closest airport to Bafoussam Airport (BFX) is Dschang Airport (DSC), which is located 21 miles (33 kilometers) WSW of 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.

This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
