About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Ceres Airport (CRR), Ceres, Santa Fe, Argentina and Lubumbashi International Airport (FBM), Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of the Congo would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,790 miles (or 9,317 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 Ceres Airport and Lubumbashi International 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 Ceres Airport and Lubumbashi International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Ceres Airport (CRR):
- In addition to being known as "Ceres Airport", another name for CRR is "Ceres Airport (Ceres)".
- The furthest airport from Ceres Airport (CRR) is Chizhou Jiuhuashan Airport (JUH), which is nearly antipodal to Ceres Airport (meaning Ceres Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Chizhou Jiuhuashan Airport), and is located 12,373 miles (19,912 kilometers) away in Chizhou and Tongling, Anhui, China.
- Because of Ceres Airport's relatively low elevation of 289 feet, planes can take off or land at Ceres 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 Ceres Airport (CRR) is Reconquista Airport (RCQ), which is located 143 miles (229 kilometers) ENE of CRR.
- Ceres Airport (CRR) currently has only 1 runway.
Facts about Lubumbashi International Airport (FBM):
- Lubumbashi International Airport (FBM) currently has only 1 runway.
- This airport played a high-profile role during the Katanga war.
- Because of Lubumbashi International Airport's high elevation of 4,295 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at FBM. Combined with a high temperature, this could make FBM a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The furthest airport from Lubumbashi International Airport (FBM) is Hilo International Airport (ITO), which is located 11,850 miles (19,070 kilometers) away in Hilo, Hawaii, United States.
