About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Sibulan Airport (DGT), Sibulan, Negros Oriental, Philippines and Mendi Airport (MDU), Mendi, Papua New Guinea would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,763 miles (or 2,838 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 relatively short distance between Sibulan Airport and Mendi Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Sibulan Airport (DGT):
- Sibulan Airport handled 362,551 passengers last year.
- In addition to being known as "Sibulan Airport", another name for DGT is "Paliparan ng Sibulan Tugpahanan sa Sibulan".
- The closest airport to Sibulan Airport (DGT) is Tagbilaran Airport (TAG), which is located 44 miles (71 kilometers) ENE of DGT.
- Because of Sibulan Airport's relatively low elevation of 15 feet, planes can take off or land at Sibulan 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 furthest airport from Sibulan Airport (DGT) is Piloto Osvaldo Marques Dias Airport (AFL), which is nearly antipodal to Sibulan Airport (meaning Sibulan Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Piloto Osvaldo Marques Dias Airport), and is located 12,382 miles (19,927 kilometers) away in Alta Floresta, Brazil.
- Sibulan Airport (DGT) currently has only 1 runway.
Facts about Mendi Airport (MDU):

- Mendi Airport (MDU) currently has only 1 runway.
- The closest airport to Mendi Airport (MDU) is Moro Airport (MXH), which is located 32 miles (52 kilometers) WSW of MDU.
- Because of Mendi Airport's high elevation of 5,680 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at MDU. Combined with a high temperature, this could make MDU a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
