About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between José Celestino Mutis Airport (BSC), Bahía Solano, Colombia and El Loa Airport (CJC), Calama, Antofagasta Region, Chile would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,064 miles (or 3,322 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 José Celestino Mutis Airport and El Loa Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

- The furthest airport from José Celestino Mutis Airport (BSC) is Fatmawati Soekarno Airport (BKS), which is nearly antipodal to José Celestino Mutis Airport (meaning José Celestino Mutis Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Fatmawati Soekarno Airport), and is located 12,274 miles (19,753 kilometers) away in Bengkulu, Indonesia.
- Because of José Celestino Mutis Airport's relatively low elevation of 80 feet, planes can take off or land at José Celestino Mutis 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 "José Celestino Mutis Airport", another name for BSC is "Aeropuerto José Celestino Mutis".
- José Celestino Mutis Airport (BSC) currently has only 1 runway.
