About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Bonanza Airport (BZA), Bonanza, RAAN, Nicaragua and Xichang Qingshan Airport (XIC), Qingshan, China would travel a Great Circle distance of 9,497 miles (or 15,284 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 Bonanza Airport and Xichang Qingshan 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 Bonanza Airport and Xichang Qingshan Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Bonanza Airport (BZA):
- Because of Bonanza Airport's relatively low elevation of 597 feet, planes can take off or land at Bonanza 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.
- The closest airport to Bonanza Airport (BZA) is Siuna Airport (SIU), which is located 25 miles (39 kilometers) SSW of BZA.
- Bonanza Airport (BZA) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Bonanza Airport (BZA) is Cocos (Keeling) Island Airport (CCK), which is nearly antipodal to Bonanza Airport (meaning Bonanza Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Cocos (Keeling) Island Airport), and is located 12,275 miles (19,755 kilometers) away in Cocos Islands, Australia.
Facts about Xichang Qingshan Airport (XIC):

- In addition to being known as "Xichang Qingshan Airport", other names for XIC include "西昌青山机场" and "Xīchāng Qīngshān Jīchǎng".
- Because of Xichang Qingshan Airport's high elevation of 5,112 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at XIC. Combined with a high temperature, this could make XIC a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
