About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Las Brujas Airport (CZU), Corozal, Colombia and Mendi Airport (MDU), Mendi, Papua New Guinea would travel a Great Circle distance of 9,763 miles (or 15,712 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 Las Brujas Airport and Mendi 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 Las Brujas Airport and Mendi Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Las Brujas Airport (CZU) currently has only 1 runway.
- The closest airport to Las Brujas Airport (CZU) is Los Garzones Airport (MTR), which is located 51 miles (82 kilometers) SW of CZU.
- Because of Las Brujas Airport's relatively low elevation of 528 feet, planes can take off or land at Las Brujas 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.
- In addition to being known as "Las Brujas Airport", another name for CZU is "Aeropuerto Las Brujas".
