Nonstop flight route between Bajawa, Indonesia and Güttin, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Bajawa Soa Airport (BJW), Bajawa, Indonesia and Rügen Airport/ Güttin Airfield (GTI), Güttin, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,418 miles (or 11,938 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 Bajawa Soa Airport and Rügen Airport/ Güttin Airfield, 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 Bajawa Soa Airport and Rügen Airport/ Güttin Airfield. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• The closest airport to Bajawa Soa Airport (BJW) is H. Hasan Aroeboesman Airport (ENE), which is located 42 miles (67 kilometers) ESE of BJW.
