About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Bajura Airport (BJU), Bajura, Nepal and Guasdualito Airport (GDO), Guasdualito, Venezuela would travel a Great Circle distance of 9,308 miles (or 14,979 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 Bajura Airport and Guasdualito 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 Bajura Airport and Guasdualito Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Bajura Airport (BJU):
- The closest airport to Bajura Airport (BJU) is Bajhang Airport (BJH), which is located 29 miles (47 kilometers) W of BJU.
- Because of Bajura Airport's high elevation of 4,300 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at BJU. Combined with a high temperature, this could make BJU a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The furthest airport from Bajura Airport (BJU) is Mataveri International Airport (IPC), which is located 11,744 miles (18,900 kilometers) away in Easter Island, Chile.
Facts about Guasdualito Airport (GDO):

- The furthest airport from Guasdualito Airport (GDO) is Purwokerto / Wirasaba Airport (PWL), which is nearly antipodal to Guasdualito Airport (meaning Guasdualito Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Purwokerto / Wirasaba Airport), and is located 12,416 miles (19,981 kilometers) away in Wirasaba, Central Java, Indonesia.
- Guasdualito Airport (GDO) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Guasdualito Airport's relatively low elevation of 426 feet, planes can take off or land at Guasdualito 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.
