About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Bubaque Airport (BQE), Bubaque, Guinea-Bissau and Wilwal International Airport (JIJ), Jijiga, Ethiopia would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,989 miles (or 6,420 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 Bubaque Airport and Wilwal International 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 Bubaque Airport and Wilwal International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Bubaque Airport (BQE):

  • Bubaque Airport (BQE) currently has only 1 runway.
  • The furthest airport from Bubaque Airport (BQE) is Kirakira Airport (IRA), which is nearly antipodal to Bubaque Airport (meaning Bubaque Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Kirakira Airport), and is located 12,272 miles (19,750 kilometers) away in Kirakira, Makira Island, Solomon Islands.
  • Because of Bubaque Airport's relatively low elevation of 80 feet, planes can take off or land at Bubaque 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.
