About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Bilbao Airport (BIO), Bilbao, Spain and Mohammed V International Airport (CMN), Casablanca, Morocco would travel a Great Circle distance of 731 miles (or 1,177 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 relatively short distance between Bilbao Airport and Mohammed V International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Bilbao Airport (BIO):
- In February 2009 plans were announced to expand the terminal building, the facilities and the car parking so as to double the current capacity to 8 million passengers.
- Because of Bilbao Airport's relatively low elevation of 137 feet, planes can take off or land at Bilbao 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.
- In addition to being known as "Bilbao Airport", another name for BIO is "Bilboko aireportua (eu) Aeropuerto de Bilbao (es)".
- Bilbao Airport handled 3,800,789 passengers last year.

- Between 1964 and 1965, an instrumental ILS landing system and a meteorological radio for storm detection were installed.
- Users of the airport widely complained about its lack of an arrivals area, since once passengers cleared customs, they stepped directly outside, and there they were often exposed to the elements.
