About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Chachapoyas Airport (CHH), Chachapoyas, Peru and Mayne Island Water Aerodrome (YAV), Miner's Bay, British Columbia, Canada would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,686 miles (or 7,542 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 Chachapoyas Airport and Mayne Island Water Aerodrome, 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 Chachapoyas Airport and Mayne Island Water Aerodrome. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Chachapoyas Airport (CHH) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Chachapoyas Airport (CHH) is Sultan Ismail Petra Airport (KBR), which is nearly antipodal to Chachapoyas Airport (meaning Chachapoyas Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Sultan Ismail Petra Airport), and is located 12,426 miles (19,998 kilometers) away in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Malaysia.
- The closest airport to Chachapoyas Airport (CHH) is Mayor General FAP Armando Revoredo Iglesias (CJA), which is located 78 miles (126 kilometers) SW of CHH.
- Because of Chachapoyas Airport's high elevation of 8,333 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at CHH. Combined with a high temperature, this could make CHH a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
Facts about Mayne Island Water Aerodrome (YAV):
- The closest airport to Mayne Island Water Aerodrome (YAV) is Bedwell Harbour Water Aerodrome (YBW), which is located only 9 miles (14 kilometers) SSE of YAV.
- In addition to being known as "Mayne Island Water Aerodrome", another name for YAV is "CAW7".
- Because of Mayne Island Water Aerodrome's relatively low elevation of 0 feet, planes can take off or land at Mayne Island Water Aerodrome 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 furthest airport from Mayne Island Water Aerodrome (YAV) is Tôlanaro Airport (FTU), which is located 10,708 miles (17,233 kilometers) away in Tôlanaro, Madagascar.
