About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Bamburi Airport (BMQ), Bamburi, Kenya and Las Vegas Municipal Airport (LVS), Las Vegas, New Mexico, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 9,307 miles (or 14,978 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 Bamburi Airport and Las Vegas Municipal 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 Bamburi Airport and Las Vegas Municipal Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Bamburi Airport (BMQ):

  • Its location is approximately 430 kilometres, by air, southeast of Nairobi International Airport, the country's largest civilian airport.
  • In addition to being known as "Bamburi Airport", another name for BMQ is "HKBM".
  • Because of Bamburi Airport's relatively low elevation of 52 feet, planes can take off or land at Bamburi 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.
  • The closest airport to Bamburi Airport (BMQ) is Moi International Airport (MBA), which is located only 11 miles (17 kilometers) WSW of BMQ.
  • The furthest airport from Bamburi Airport (BMQ) is Atuona Airport (AUQ), which is located 11,483 miles (18,480 kilometers) away in Atuona, Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia.

  • The furthest airport from Las Vegas Municipal Airport (LVS) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 11,135 miles (17,920 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
  • The closest airport to Las Vegas Municipal Airport (LVS) is Santa Fe Municipal Airport (SAF), which is located 53 miles (86 kilometers) W of LVS.
  • Because of Las Vegas Municipal Airport's high elevation of 6,877 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at LVS. Combined with a high temperature, this could make LVS a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
