About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Carauari Airport (CAF), Carauari, Amazonas, Brazil and Mendi Airport (MDU), Mendi, Papua New Guinea would travel a Great Circle distance of 10,196 miles (or 16,408 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 Carauari Airport and Mendi 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 Carauari Airport and Mendi Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Carauari Airport (CAF):
- In addition to being known as "Carauari Airport", another name for CAF is "Aeroporto de Carauari".
- Because of Carauari Airport's relatively low elevation of 354 feet, planes can take off or land at Carauari 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.
- Carauari Airport is the airport serving Carauari, Brazil.
- Carauari Airport (CAF) currently has only 1 runway.
- The airport is located 1 km from downtown Carauari.
- The furthest airport from Carauari Airport (CAF) is Miri Airport (MYY), which is nearly antipodal to Carauari Airport (meaning Carauari Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Miri Airport), and is located 12,365 miles (19,899 kilometers) away in Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia.

- The furthest airport from Mendi Airport (MDU) is Pinto Martins – Fortaleza International Airport (FOR), which is located 11,735 miles (18,885 kilometers) away in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil.
- Because of Mendi Airport's high elevation of 5,680 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at MDU. Combined with a high temperature, this could make MDU a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
