About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Jorge Wilstermann International Airport (CBB), Cochabamba, Bolivia and Qaarsut Airport (JQA), Qaarsut / Uummannaq, Greenland would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,125 miles (or 9,858 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 Qaarsut 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 Qaarsut 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):

  • Jorge Wilstermann International Airport (CBB) has 2 runways.
  • Jorge Wilstermann International Airport handled 670,898 passengers last year.
  • It was a focus city for Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano, the country's national airline, until service from LAB was suspended.
  • 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 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.
