About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Soekarno–Hatta International Airport (CGK), Jakarta, Indonesia and Ralph Wenz Field (PWY), Pinedale, Wyoming, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 9,068 miles (or 14,594 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 Soekarno–Hatta International Airport and Ralph Wenz Field, 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 Soekarno–Hatta International Airport and Ralph Wenz Field. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Soekarno–Hatta International Airport (CGK):
- To anticipate a surge in passenger numbers, at least a ten percent increase each year, the government is preparing to build a third runway.
- Because of Soekarno–Hatta International Airport's relatively low elevation of 32 feet, planes can take off or land at Soekarno–Hatta International 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.
- Between 1974 and 1975, a Canadian consultant/consortium, consisting of Aviation Planning Services Ltd., ACRESS International Ltd., and Searle Wilbee Rowland, won a bid for the new airport feasibility project.
- On 12 November 1976, the building project tender was won by the French Aeroport de Paris.
- In the newest masterplan, the capacity of the airport is to be increased from 22 million passengers per annum to 62 million per annum in 2014.
- Terminal 1 is the first terminal built, finished in 1985.
- To ease congestion, the airport authority implemented a new traffic procedure, the 72 Improved Runway Capacity, to handle 72 planes per hour.
- The closest airport to Soekarno–Hatta International Airport (CGK) is Halim Perdanakusuma Airport (HLP), which is located only 19 miles (30 kilometers) ESE of CGK.
- The furthest airport from Soekarno–Hatta International Airport (CGK) is Yariguíes Airport (EJA), which is nearly antipodal to Soekarno–Hatta International Airport (meaning Soekarno–Hatta International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Yariguíes Airport), and is located 12,367 miles (19,903 kilometers) away in Barrancabermeja, Colombia.
- Although the airport is running over capacity, on May 4, 2012, after verification from April 23 to May 3, the Airport Council International stated that Soekarno–Hatta International Airport is clearly being operated safely.
- The new airport opened on 1 May 1985 for domestic flights.

- Ralph Wenz Field (PWY) currently has only 1 runway.
- The closest airport to Ralph Wenz Field (PWY) is Miley Memorial Field (BPI), which is located 21 miles (34 kilometers) SW of PWY.
- Because of Ralph Wenz Field's high elevation of 7,086 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at PWY. Combined with a high temperature, this could make PWY a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The furthest airport from Ralph Wenz Field (PWY) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 10,796 miles (17,375 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
