About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Bairnsdale Aerodrome (BSJ), Bairnsdale, Victoria, Australia and Bafoussam Airport (BFX), Bafoussam, Cameroon would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,946 miles (or 14,397 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 Bairnsdale Aerodrome and Bafoussam 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 Bairnsdale Aerodrome and Bafoussam Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Bairnsdale Aerodrome (BSJ) has 2 runways.
- The furthest airport from Bairnsdale Aerodrome (BSJ) is Flores Airport (FLW), which is nearly antipodal to Bairnsdale Aerodrome (meaning Bairnsdale Aerodrome is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Flores Airport), and is located 12,308 miles (19,807 kilometers) away in Flores Island, Azores, Portugal.
- Because of Bairnsdale Aerodrome's relatively low elevation of 165 feet, planes can take off or land at Bairnsdale Aerodrome 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 Bairnsdale Aerodrome (BSJ) is Mount Hotham Airport (MHU), which is located 59 miles (96 kilometers) NNW of BSJ.
Facts about Bafoussam Airport (BFX):
- Because of Bafoussam Airport's high elevation of 4,347 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at BFX. Combined with a high temperature, this could make BFX a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The closest airport to Bafoussam Airport (BFX) is Dschang Airport (DSC), which is located 21 miles (33 kilometers) WSW of BFX.
- Bafoussam Airport (BFX) currently has only 1 runway.
