About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Jorge Wilstermann International Airport (CBB), Cochabamba, Bolivia and Easterwood Airport (CLL), College Station, Texas, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,877 miles (or 6,239 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 Jorge Wilstermann International Airport and Easterwood 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 Jorge Wilstermann International Airport and Easterwood Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Jorge Wilstermann International Airport (CBB):
- On 1 March 1997 the Government of Bolivia entered into a 25 year contract with Airport Group International to operate the three largest airports in Bolivia – El Alto International Airport in La Paz, Jorge Wilstermann Airport and Viru Viru International Airport in Santa Cruz de la Sierra.
- Jorge Wilstermann International Airport handled 670,898 passengers last year.
- In addition to being known as "Jorge Wilstermann International Airport", another name for CBB is "Aeropuerto Internacional Jorge Wilstermann".
- Because of Jorge Wilstermann International Airport's high elevation of 8,360 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at CBB. Combined with a high temperature, this could make CBB a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The closest airport to Jorge Wilstermann International Airport (CBB) is Juana Azurduy de Padilla International Airport (SRE), which is located 124 miles (200 kilometers) SSE of CBB.
- The furthest airport from Jorge Wilstermann International Airport (CBB) is Haikou Meilan International Airport (HAK), which is nearly antipodal to Jorge Wilstermann International Airport (meaning Jorge Wilstermann International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Haikou Meilan International Airport), and is located 12,156 miles (19,564 kilometers) away in Haikou, Hainan, China.
- Jorge Wilstermann International Airport (CBB) has 2 runways.
Facts about Easterwood Airport (CLL):

- The first control tower was erected at the Airport in 1952 and a commercial passenger terminal was constructed in 1957.
- The facility in 1940 had one hangar and a turf landing strip and taxiway which were eventually paved through funding provided by the CAA, the Works Projects Administration, and Texas A&M.
- The furthest airport from Easterwood Airport (CLL) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 10,968 miles (17,652 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
- Easterwood Airport, also known as Easterwood Field, is the regional airport for Texas A&M University, Bryan-College Station and Brazos County, Texas, USA.
- Because of Easterwood Airport's relatively low elevation of 321 feet, planes can take off or land at Easterwood 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 Easterwood Airport (CLL) is Coulter Field (CFD), which is located only 9 miles (14 kilometers) NNE of CLL.
