Nonstop flight route between Panama City, Florida, United States and Dschang, Cameroon:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP), Panama City, Florida, United States and Dschang Airport (DSC), Dschang, Cameroon would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,376 miles (or 10,261 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 Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport and Dschang 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 Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport and Dschang Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Because of Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport's relatively low elevation of 68 feet, planes can take off or land at Northwest Florida Beaches International 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 airport opened for commercial flights on May 23, 2010 and is the first international airport in the United States designed and built since the September 11 attacks.
• Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport handled 85,600 passengers last year.
