About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Cuyo Airport (CYU), Cuyo, Palawan, Philippines and Zahedan Airport (ZAH), Zahedan, Iran would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,062 miles (or 6,538 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 Cuyo Airport and Zahedan 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 Cuyo Airport and Zahedan Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Cuyo Airport (CYU):
- Because of Cuyo Airport's relatively low elevation of 13 feet, planes can take off or land at Cuyo 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 Cuyo Airport (CYU) is Evelio Javier Airport (EUQ), which is located 59 miles (95 kilometers) E of CYU.
- Cuyo Airport (CYU) currently has only 1 runway.
- In addition to being known as "Cuyo Airport", another name for CYU is "Paliparan ng Cuyo".
- The furthest airport from Cuyo Airport (CYU) is Juína Airport (JIA), which is nearly antipodal to Cuyo Airport (meaning Cuyo Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Juína Airport), and is located 12,395 miles (19,948 kilometers) away in Juina, Mato Grosso, Brazil.
Facts about Zahedan Airport (ZAH):
- The closest airport to Zahedan Airport (ZAH) is Zaranj Airport (ZAJ), which is located 118 miles (190 kilometers) NNE of ZAH.

- Zahedan Airport (ZAH) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Zahedan Airport's high elevation of 4,564 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at ZAH. Combined with a high temperature, this could make ZAH a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
