About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Santa Rosa International Airport (ETR), Santa Rosa, El Oro, Ecuador and Wonderboom Airport (PRY), Pretoria, South Africa would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,240 miles (or 11,651 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 Santa Rosa International Airport and Wonderboom 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 Santa Rosa International Airport and Wonderboom Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Santa Rosa International Airport (ETR):
- In addition to being known as "Santa Rosa International Airport", another name for ETR is "Aeropuerto Internacional de Santa Rosa".
- The furthest airport from Santa Rosa International Airport (ETR) is Sitiawan Airport (SWY), which is nearly antipodal to Santa Rosa International Airport (meaning Santa Rosa International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Sitiawan Airport), and is located 12,365 miles (19,900 kilometers) away in Perak, Malaysia.
- Because of Santa Rosa International Airport's relatively low elevation of 170 feet, planes can take off or land at Santa Rosa 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.
- Santa Rosa International Airport (ETR) currently has only 1 runway.
- The closest airport to Santa Rosa International Airport (ETR) is Cap. FAP Pedro Canga Rodríguez Airport (TBP), which is located 29 miles (47 kilometers) WSW of ETR.

- Wonderboom Airport (PRY) has 2 runways.
- The airport will initially be able to cope with 450 departing and 400 incoming passengers per hour.
- Because of Wonderboom Airport's high elevation of 4,095 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at PRY. Combined with a high temperature, this could make PRY a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The furthest airport from Wonderboom Airport (PRY) is Hana Airport (HNM), which is nearly antipodal to Wonderboom Airport (meaning Wonderboom Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Hana Airport), and is located 12,007 miles (19,323 kilometers) away in Hana, Hawaii, United States.
