About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Bendigo Airport (BXG), Bendigo, Victoria, Australia and Mafikeng Airport (MBD), Mmabatho, South Africa would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,563 miles (or 10,562 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 Bendigo Airport and Mafikeng 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 Bendigo Airport and Mafikeng Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- The closest airport to Bendigo Airport (BXG) is Echuca Airport (ECH), which is located 47 miles (75 kilometers) NNE of BXG.
- Because of Bendigo Airport's relatively low elevation of 705 feet, planes can take off or land at Bendigo 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.
- Bendigo Airport (BXG) has 2 runways.
Facts about Mafikeng Airport (MBD):
