About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Bata Airport (BSG), Bata, Equatorial Guinea and Harare International Airport (HRE), Harare, Zimbabwe would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,994 miles (or 3,209 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 Bata Airport and Harare International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Bata Airport (BSG):
- The furthest airport from Bata Airport (BSG) is Canton Island Airport (CIS), which is nearly antipodal to Bata Airport (meaning Bata Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Canton Island Airport), and is located 12,317 miles (19,822 kilometers) away in Canton Island, Kiribati.
- The closest airport to Bata Airport (BSG) is Kribi Airport (KBI), which is located 68 miles (109 kilometers) N of BSG.
- Bata Airport (BSG) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Bata Airport's relatively low elevation of 36 feet, planes can take off or land at Bata 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.
Facts about Harare International Airport (HRE):
- Because of a decline in tourism numbers, due to internal political conflicts since 2000, few major airlines now use the airport.
- The closest airport to Harare International Airport (HRE) is Mutare Airport (UTA), which is located 125 miles (201 kilometers) SE of HRE.
- Later the same year, an Airfield Construction Unit was formed to undertake an extensive search for a suitable site for a national airport.
- The furthest airport from Harare International Airport (HRE) is Hilo International Airport (ITO), which is nearly antipodal to Harare International Airport (meaning Harare International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Hilo International Airport), and is located 12,017 miles (19,339 kilometers) away in Hilo, Hawaii, United States.
- Because of Harare International Airport's high elevation of 4,887 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at HRE. Combined with a high temperature, this could make HRE a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Harare International Airport handled 612,208 passengers last year.
- The runway is used by both the civilian airport and the Air Force of Zimbabwe whose base is on the southern side of the runway.
- Harare International Airport (HRE) currently has only 1 runway.
