About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Carlos Manuel de Céspedes Airport (BYM), Bayamo, Cuba and Bamenda Airport (BPC), Bamenda, Cameroon would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,863 miles (or 9,436 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 Carlos Manuel de Céspedes Airport and Bamenda 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 Carlos Manuel de Céspedes Airport and Bamenda Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Carlos Manuel de Céspedes Airport (BYM):
- Because of Carlos Manuel de Céspedes Airport's relatively low elevation of 203 feet, planes can take off or land at Carlos Manuel de Céspedes 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 "Carlos Manuel de Céspedes Airport", another name for BYM is "Aeropuerto Carlos Manuel de Céspedes".
